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 four-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.
The title is a lot of fun and quite challenging. With each victory you unlock better tools which can be used to manipulate the environment in new ways. While jumping and using your grappling hook are important, mastering all the unlocks is equally important if you’re playing with experienced gamers. The multiplayer is fluid and matches are easy to find. You should definitely give SpeedRunners a go if you’re into platformers or games like Super Meat Boy.
