Suggestion: arcade

Each column (A to E) can be played as ARCADE.
Timer doesn't reset, that's it

What you think?

Good idea, and add an extra leaderboard with it?

no way. i actually have a half written email to metanet suggesting this exact same game type (slightly different but basically the same).

I would love a game mode like this.

This is definitely on our todo list, we've been thinking of calling it "speedrun++" since that communicates a bit better what it's about.

(of course, unlike a true speedrun, gold/score still matters (and also time isn't ticking when paused/in menus), hence the ++, which will hopefully communicate that it's not exactly a speedrun)

Our plan is to allow speedrun++ runs for individual episodes, as well as columns, rows, and "all"

(one problem we've had is that speedrunners don't really know what should be considered an official run, we hope that this way we'll give them some options)
