So I was doing a couple of derusting sessions in the hopes of beating my PB at some point (still nowhere near as my space and shadow realm are so rusty) and I came across an interesting new trick.
Normally I play on controller and was getting thumb ache spamming shoot on Dr. Ludo and Skelord so tried it out on keyboard and I've realised you can actually spam both of them to shoot twice as fast. It seems the input checker will just check both each frame.
This basically means you can kill both those bosses without really having to move that much and save a ton of time.
Thought I'd share in case anyone fancied doing runs again.
Great trick. With this and resetting the room, we should be able to shave off a decent amount of time now.
Be wary though that I think projectiles are what causes the slow down, so maybe best to make sure you close and open the game before starting a new run. The game will run slower and you snag on walls a lot more frequently. Really frustrating.
I always bail out of the game before starting a new run. It's a pain but I'm not losing time to memory leaks (which I don't even understand how they could happen since it's a Unity C# game!)
while we're on the subject of tricks that should be used more often: You can jump over the thwomp just before key 4 with precise double jumps. You still need to hit all three switches but it definitely makes it faster.
