I got through first act for BBE in 53 minutes and then noticed that I had 1 health item used. Turns out, when I thought back, that the second gekko in the first sequence jumped on me and I was surprised that I lived. I failed to notice that my Ration was automatically equipped and automatically used.
So yay for redoing act 1.
I'm back to Frogs at the moment, but I'm 7 minutes faster than I was before, so I'm semi-happy.
When I think about it, act 1 is actually pretty easy. I'm now able to go through the entire sequence from beginning to Frogs with ease. I guess practice makes perfect.
