$2.99 (−80%)SpeedRunners Superheroes racing for the same crime
Four costumed runners sprint across a superhero city, swinging on grappling hooks and firing rockets to shove each other off screen. Rounds are short, loud and petty in the best way, built for co-op friends who like facing off on the couch or online.

Outrun the screen or you are out
You run, jump and swing through side-scrolling maps while the camera follows the leader. Fall behind and slip off screen and the round takes you out, so every shortcut and grapple matters. Weapons are everywhere: missiles, mines, grappling hooks, spikes and other pick-ups meant for knocking co-op friends sideways. Matches fit four players locally, online, or mixed, and bots can fill empty spots. It plays fast and chaotic, and losing a lead in the last ten meters stings in a funny way.
A dozen maps, plus thousands more
The base game brings a dozen maps, game modifiers, a tutorial, a single-player campaign and a character named Unic. A full level editor adds over 10,000 community-made levels, so rematches rarely look the same twice. You can also set two players on one couch against two players online, add bots to human matches, and leave custom trails when you hit super-speed. Controller play is supported and recommended, which suits the running, swinging and mid-air grapple fights.
Good to know before you run?
Can you play it with co-op friends on the couch?
Yes. It supports local multiplayer for up to four players, online play, and mixed lobbies such as two players on a couch facing two players online.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is a single-player campaign, plus bots that can act as AI opponents on your own or fill out matches with other people.
How do weapons work?
Pick-ups include rockets, bombs, mines, grappling hooks and spikes. Use them to slow rivals, grapple onto them, and knock them off screen while you stay ahead of the camera.
Is it hard to learn?
There is a tutorial that teaches the running, jumping and swinging basics. The controls are straightforward to pick up, while routes, grapple timing and weapon use take practice.
