About SpeedRunners
SpeedRunners drops you into a superhero‑filled city where racing to crimes becomes a frantic competition. Players sprint, jump, swing, fire rockets, and use grappling hooks, mines, and spikes to stay ahead or knock opponents off the screen.
The game supports four‑player competitive platforming in both local split‑screen and online modes, includes a single‑player campaign, a level editor with thousands of community maps, and full controller compatibility across PC platforms.
01 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Modes
SpeedRunners offers 4‑player competitive platforming where the fastest player remains in the match and anyone who falls offscreen is eliminated. The description emphasizes keeping up with the fastest player or being eliminated by falling.
Both local split‑screen and online multiplayer are supported, allowing mixed couch‑and‑internet play. Bots can fill empty slots, letting you race against AI opponents or mix them with human players.
- Combine local and online players for varied matchups.
- Add bots when friends are unavailable to keep matches full.

Level Editor
A full‑blown level editor lets players create custom maps, and the store notes that over 10 000 user‑created levels already exist. Created maps appear in the game’s library and can be selected for any mode.
The editor provides tools for placing platforms, hazards, and power‑ups, giving creators control over race flow and difficulty while using the same assets found in the base game.
- Start with a simple layout before adding many hazards.
- Test your map in single‑player mode to balance pacing.

Controller Support
SpeedRunners recommends using a controller and provides full compatibility with DualShock, DualSense, and other gamepads via the Steam Input API. A tutorial teaches the controls, ensuring new players can learn quickly.
Controller input works in both local and online sessions, making couch play seamless and allowing the same control scheme for all participants.
- Run the tutorial to master grappling and rocket controls.
- Adjust controller settings in Steam Input for personal comfort.

Game Modifiers
Unique game modifiers change race conditions, adding effects such as increased speed, altered gravity, or extra hazards. The description states these modifiers can be applied to any map.
Modifiers are selectable before a match begins, letting players customize the competitive experience and create fresh challenges each race.
- Start with one modifier to gauge its impact.
- Combine modifiers for unpredictable races.

Single‑Player Campaign
Beyond multiplayer, SpeedRunners includes an exciting single‑player campaign that guides players through progressively tougher races. The campaign introduces mechanics, power‑ups, and map features in a structured way.
Playing the campaign familiarizes you with advanced strategies and provides a solo experience when no other players are available.
