In a city of superheroes, reaching crimes first is a race. Up to four players compete on 2D platforming tracks, running and jumping to stay ahead while keeping within the camera's view.
Build speed through the courses, swing with grappling hooks, and use weapons and pickups such as rockets and mines to disrupt rivals. Interactive maps and quick reversals make positioning and timing part of each race.
Play locally or online, race against AI opponents, or take on a single-player campaign. Learning routes and movement techniques offers room to improve, while modifiers and a level editor add ways to vary or create courses.
Players often enjoy SpeedRunners as a fast, chaotic competition to play with friends, where grapples and pickups can suddenly change who is leading. Reviews also praise its simple entry point alongside room to improve through mastering momentum, routes, and timing. Some players report that online matches are difficult to find or can pit newcomers against much more experienced racers.
In a city filled with superheroes, getting to crimes becomes a competition on its own. Fortunately there are enough rockets, bombs, grappling hooks, spikes, and other goodies lying around -- to make the competition fun and fast. Welcome to SpeedRunners.
SpeedRunners is a 4 player competitive platformer with grappling hooks, power-ups, and interactive environments. Run, jump, swing around, fire rockets, grapple onto people to knock them off screen.
