Ladies, gentlemen and everything in-between... We have the final winner. The winner of the 30th trial is *drum roll*... Lilly! This absolute champion kept their leading spot all week and squeezed in one final sub-30 in, literally, the last minute. What a perfect finish! This, sadly, means the contest is finally over! After 30 weeks of intense speedrunning we've now gone through all of the available trials and looped back to the first. The demo will remain up, the trials will continue to unlock in the same order every week and we're keeping the leaderboards up as well, you simply can't win a portrait and/or shirt anymore. Talking of portraits.... Check out this spectacular wall of champions: Here's a closer look at all 30 portraits made: And here's the list of names of all the winners: Nitro, SewnChaos, TanukiTale, Glint, MuRiFO, Sad, Webbinmaine, belastbarkeit, pixeldasher, DerHundMitEi…

And maybe become the final person to win a unique portrait & shirt! Good luck y'all!! PS: Don't worry, after this we loop back to Trial #1 and the demo will continue to exist indefinitely!
