Overview

  • The biggest time loss/save comes from the Mummy whose spawns are random. The best outcome is a 1 cycle in which he would spawn from either the far left or far right of the screen.
  • Each full cycle costs 1400 frames (~23.3 sec)
  • Half a cycle or if you are one hit off is still a 700 (~11.6 sec) frame time loss. So it is worth to practice nailing the 1 cycle or any subsequent cycles to lessen the time loss.
