Somewhat on that subject: I was playing the last level a few days ago to test something for keen 9 and managed to detonate four shikadi mines at once over the QED without one of them destroying it :dopekeen

@The Keen Commander: I added one death.
@Ceilick: Sounds like a candidate for a special achievement. :-)

I've been a bit busy due to my new job, but I try to beat at least one level per day.

I'll have to see when/if I can finish my Hard run.

You can see my status on the first page. I update it as soon as I have anything to update with.

All right, here's my results...

NORMAL:

Ion Ventilation System: 0
Security Center: 1 (ampton came down pole out of nowhere)
D.T. Vlook: 0
Energy Flow Systems: 0
D.T. Teln: 0
Brownian Motion Inducer: 4 (While playing this, my computer became REALLY unresponsive...the first three deaths are all in that first fire-hazard pit at the very beginning. The fourth I missed a moving platform.)
D.T. Sorra: 0
Neutrino Burst Injector: 2 (I don't like shockshunds or bouncing slicestars, so this level is not my friend. I'm amazed I got away with only 2 deaths.)
D.T. Burrh: 1 (Robo Red did me in...)
Regulation Control Center: 1 (Missed my ledge and got down into the blue key area...was pretty much dead from there...)
Gravitational Damping Hub: 1 (Accidentally landed on that square of fire-hazards)
Quantum Explosion Dynamo: 1 (Shikadi master killed me through a wall1! WTF HAX)

TOTAL: 11

That almost happened to me with a Robored, in one of the defence tunnels. It was a matter of pixels, really :dopefish

I made it through Keen 5 on hard only saving between levels a while back, with only several hundred deaths. Not inclined to repeat the experience.

Very good run, StupidBunny! I added your score on the first page.

@Deltamatic: That's exactly why I won't make a hard run in Keen 5. :-)
Even if you save, it takes up hours. :dead2

I will start my hard run soon, but I am a bit intimidated because I have never beaten Gravitational Damping Hub on hard before, so this should be interesting.
