Players were asking us for individual levels, and we have delivered!

This FREE DLC follows Richard Bankman, a middle manager tasked with trying to make the impossible financial investment portfolio - "The Doinkler Portfolio" profitable.

We'll be posting more details on launch date and you can learn more about it In our Vlog:

But the focus of this post is to let players know about:

The Doinkler Special Competition - RULES

Tell your friends! The competition starts when the DLC launches on Monday, July 14 @ 11 am MST (6 pm UTC)

I've covered the basic details here

But i wanted to spell out the rules in much finer detail well in advance.

Rules:

  1. All gameplay must be done live

  2. The entire run must be available to watch after completing the tower

    e.g. Twitch deletes VOD's after 14 days, so make sure to save and upload them if the competition takes longer than 2 weeks!

  3. The game can be streamed on any platform (Twitch, YouTube) but the Isto Team must be able to view it

  4. If you beat the tower, please show the time live on stream (Twitch does a horrible job of time stamping and this helps us verify in case there is a tie)

What is Not Allowed

  • No save scumming

  • No mods

    • This includes the practice mod.

      • We are hoping players can discover the tower organically (rather than flying straight to the top as soon as it comes out). We obviously can't monitor if you use practice mods offline, but we would encourage you do not.

      • The Doinkler Portfolio is designed to let you practice the elements, so using a practice mod should not give players a distinct advantage.

  • No changing FPS outside of the game

    • You can play the game with an uncapped FPS (vsync off) or locked at 60fps (vysnc on)

  • No slowing down the game

  • No manipulating the timer

  • No machine assist

    • i.e. TAS and auto spam programs (or programs that help you auto spam outside of what we intended)

  • No egregious exploits that skip most of the tower (like the op/ragdoll skip in the main game)

  • If it feels like cheating, it’s probably cheating

What is allowed:

  • Top grabs are allowed

    • We do feel that top grabs will not play a big part in this competition, which is why we are allowing top grabs

  • Pausing is allowed

  • You can close the game and return to it later

    • Make sure we can view the entire run upon submission

    • If you find exploits from saving and loading, those are not allowed. The game must act as if you hadn't saved and quit

If you've beaten the tower:

Join our discord and send us a message!!! When there is a winner we'll be posting both here and in the discord

If you don't have a discord, you can send us an email to info@istoinc.com

The Unofficial Leaderboard

I thought it would be fun to try and track some notable players. This isn't official and will be me doing my best to track some streamers attempting the tower. Feel free to take a look!

The DLC launches Monday, July 14 @ 11 am MST (6 pm UTC).

See you there!

Stephen & The Isto Team
