Also keep in mind the game is built for couch coop and that it takes a bit of time to swap seats/hand over the keyboard

Right. For what it's worth, at least some of these delays are configurable in Armageddon ("Hot-Seat Time" and "Retreat Time").

There is a spicy game mode in Armageddon called Paranoia (https://worms2d.info/Paranoia), in which these delays, plus the turn duration, are all set to zero, meaning players have exactly one frame to make their move. As you can imagine it is very hectic!

Huh. Thats hilarious. My first thought was, "how does that even work?"

Though I imagine games are rather quick like that
