Go play spacechem !
It is the first game i tried to speedrun, unfortunately i dont have any videos to show because i didnt own a video recorder (and i still dont :().
Still it's a great game and i can share some tips and the times i got :). Someone named Mkt2015 did a run too, it was never approved but i have his times (still i think his time for 2nd stage is not valid).
The game has an ingame timer, after each stage you can see the time but not when you finish a boss stage. The time for the stage just after the boss will thus count the stage time + the boss time.
I dont have times for the last boss.(One way to time the last boss fight is to do the boss stage and then another stage and substract the stage time).
edit: the game was run with any% and segmented (1 level = 1 segment)
*Abs = total time
*Rel = stage time
[H] = hard
[N] = normal
Tips:
-Jump then roll is not faster than just running, and even if it is, its so marginal than 1 miss roll will negate the advance.
-Attacking when jumping is preferred over just attacking because you dont have to wait the animation to end before moving again.
-Opening chests and buying stuffs dont run the ingame timer
-The advanced throwing shield can activate crystals (it auto aims crystals aswell) : crystals phases can be done very quickly that way.
-Jump+Attack allow you to jump a little farther :
can be used in the stone stage, at the first 3 stones on the first stone you can jup to the next switch.
in the stone stage at the "puzzle" at the end you can jump on the first stone when its going down then jump on the cliff; activate the last switch and jump+attack to the stone and exit the level.(this was not done during my speedrun)
-On the first stage you can grab the key while killing the guardian (without the key falling to the floor).
Boss tips:
-first boss: you can kill him very quick without him moving. You need to attack him x times then wait, repeat till he's dead (i dont remember the x).
-old wounds boss: i killed him by cornering him and attacking with the right tempo (2 attacks + wait). He blocks one of the two attacks, but he doesnt move.
