That turned out really well, this project was a lot of fun.
I wonder if anything else is possible by means of yby ups that people mention, since if they're only alternative methods for the same skips, they don't really mean much.
UPDATE: So a few speedrunners were suggesting that we should just use yby ups (a technique to jump a lot higher), but we weren't using those for our project. Without them, 53 Murfy uses was our result, and we discovered many fun things about the game.
Most yby ups would just be an easier way to jump over obstacles, but we just found alternative methods instead. There are however 2 places (so far) that yby ups can be used to avoid using Murfy, which would bring the counter down to 51 if we were to use them
Ropes Course, the very first barrier originally required Murfy to be used, and it was the only one in the level that did, however, with a yby up, it can be done without ever using Murfy.
Hell Breaks Loose, we originally had 9 Murfy uses, however, I found this one where a yby up can reduce it to 8 uses.
