About SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell
SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is a heavy‑metal first‑person platformer that mixes frantic racing with precise platforming. Players dash, jump, teleport, reverse gravity and fire projectiles while racing through a hundred devilish arenas, each timed to the millisecond.
The game centers on competitive speed‑running, offering per‑level leaderboards, hidden beer‑can collectibles and Uber Skull medals for the fastest runs. An original soundtrack and a built‑in level editor add replay value and community creativity.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay Mechanics
Each arena is navigated in first‑person view using jumps, bounce pads, teleporters and gravity switches. Fireballs can be launched to clear obstacles or reach distant platforms, and every action is timed toward an exit portal.
The primary objective is to finish each level in the smallest possible time. Hazards and fast‑moving elements demand quick reactions, and the game records the final time for comparison on online leaderboards.
- Try combining teleporters with gravity reversal to discover shortcuts early.
- Observe fireball trajectories to decide when a shot saves more time than a detour.

Level Design & Hidden Collectibles
All 100 levels contain hidden beer cans placed in hard‑to‑reach spots, offering an optional challenge beyond pure speed. These secrets are scattered around corners, ceilings and behind obstacles.
The maps grow increasingly complex, introducing new platform layouts, bounce pads and fireball patterns. Discovering secrets often requires precise timing or creative use of the core mechanics.
- Scan walls and ceilings for visual cues that differ from regular geometry.
- Check spots far from the main speed route, since the beer cans are deeply hidden in each level.

Leaderboards & Competitive Play
After completing a level, the recorded time appears on a per‑level leaderboard, allowing players to compare their performance with friends and strangers worldwide. The highest rankings earn Uber Skull medals.
The online high‑score system encourages repeated attempts, as shaving even a few milliseconds can move a player up the rankings and unlock the toughest medal.
- Review the leaderboard after each run to gauge how close you are to the top time.
- Focus on consistency; a stable run often beats a wildly fast but error‑prone attempt.

Level Editor
SEUM includes a built‑in level editor that lets players craft custom arenas using the game's mechanics.
Created maps can be shared through the Steam Workshop, allowing the community to play and rate each other's designs, expanding the game's replayability beyond the official 100 levels.
- Start with a simple layout and gradually add more mechanics to test balance.
- Playtest your map repeatedly to ensure it can be completed without unintended dead ends.
