Introducing Play Faster, a minimalist precision platformer purpose-built for speedrunning. It features built-in tools to support that, like input display, a replay system, instant retries, and practice mode; as well as anti-cheat and anti-splice to best make sure it has fair competition and leaderboards. It’s in development for PC from developer GoBlimp and publisher Byzantium.
Play Faster is focusing on “short, intense” 5-8 minute runs and “deterministic movement” with “outcomes [that] depend entirely on player skill.” Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Wishlist Play Faster on Steam if you’re interested.
