TD2 Any% Route

Reset if you get tip at the start, saves ~5s for free.
Remap your "Goals" and "Tentacles" buttons somewhere close enough to wasd/q/e/f/r. I use ` and Tab for these two.
Dialogue skips can be done by talking to characters w/e you're jumping. Applies only when your height is raising, not when you're falling down.
Sprinting refills w/e you jump. Jumping from sprint is not faster than sprinting itself, but faster if you compare it from walking jump.
Doing a jump while sprinting will carry some momentum with you. During the jump, if you grab the door (while jumping into it), you'll clip ahead, giving you a small timesave.
All cutscenes between the levels are skippable.
