I've been thinking about running the game myself, I'm currently running Freedom Planet. I wanted to know anyone's opinion though on Casual difficulty and the movement opportunities it presents, along with difficulty switching to work past auto-leveling. I'd expect switching all the time would probably lose as much time as it would save, but I think it's an interesting idea.

What qualifies as the PC version of the game, the older version, or the newer one on Steam?

I'm an interested Carol runner, Ichikai recommended me. If you guys still have a Discord I'd greatly appreciate the invite.
