SpeedRunners is a four-player competitive platformer where racing and sabotage happen at once. Each runner sprints, slides and swings on a grappling hook through obstacle-filled courses, and the screen follows the leader, so trailing too far behind means elimination from the round. Rockets, mines and other pick-ups give players ways to hinder their rivals.
Matches can be played locally, online or a mix of both, so two people on a couch can face two others over the internet. The pace is quick, and winning depends on swing timing and sharp reflexes. It suits friends who enjoy competitive party games, and a single-player option is included as well.
