I checked you can skip a big part of the game bt picking up the key in a room with a pit and then pressing restart. Then you pick the key in the room before press restast. then use one key to make a path. Then pick the second key. And then it is exactly like the inteded ending path. Was fun to find it. :)
Thanks for playing our game! Actually, the original idea for the game was making a puzzle metroidvania, but the scope was waaaay too large for a game jam. I just tried what you suggested, and I think I see what you mean. I didn’t really use a timer, but I finished the game well below 2min with your strategy hahah
