Me and my buddy are planning to try the speedrun, with the embargo I'm not sure if anyone has been working on this yet.

Is there a discord?

Yes, there is https://discord.gg/CU7QWC3FE6 It is also linked close to the name were all the consoles are displayed.

I am blind! thank you!!!

How's the gameplay feeling so far :) Is it harder than It Takes Two?

Speedrunning vice I think it is easier as everything feels slower than ITT. Although I am sure opinions are diverging on that topic.
