CKeen4 Max Score, Isle of Tar (N/G) - 28800 | 295 |

Описание: Commander Keen Episode 4: Secret of the Oracle version 1.4, DOSBox version 0.74-3 at max cycles (to minimize loading times). Max Score is defined as collecting as many points and life-gaining items (Raindrops and Lifewater Flasks) as possible after visiting and completing levels once; N/G specifies *N*ormal difficulty and *G*litches allowed. The first value in the title is the number of points collected, the second value is the "life score" collected (drop = 1, flask = 100), and the third value is the run time.

This is an "individual level" or "IL" speedrun, and as such uses specialized starting conditions: in this run, Keen starts with 0 lives, 9999999 points needed for another life (to avoid messing with the life score), and 5 ammo. Start time is the first visible frame of the level; end time is the first black frame immediately after completing a level. Original video date: 2026/01/14

There's a fair bit of back-and-forth in this level, and a lot of motion without a lot of points. The slip-up in picking up the jawbreakers before collecting the yellow gem in theory wastes a couple of seconds, but by the time I reach the blue door it's evident that I'd have likely been waiting on the following platform for the same amount of time anyway. The main annoyance in the level are the two Skypests in the secret area, and while I wouldn't say they both played nice, it was clean enough when compared to other attempts.
