An unusual racing game with platform game elements, developed by independent Dutch studio DoubleDutch Games. SpeedRunners takes place in a fictional world filled with various superheroes. Since there are so many of them, there aren’t enough criminals for them to deal with. Because of that, the heroes are forced to compete with each other about who will reach the crime scene as first and be able to perform his duties. In the game the player assumes the role of one of more than fifty characters and participates in various races during which he tries to leave the rivals behind. The maps are filled with various obstacles which slow down the characters. In addition, during the race one can use various gadgets as well as surroundings to one’s advantage. The game is focused on online multiplayer for up to four players – both in local and Internet mode.
