“I hate everything about Speedrunners... but I hate losing against my friends in Speedrunners [b]even more[/b].”

“It's true what they say about speedrunners, It's like chaotic 2D Mario kart. Easy to pick up, hard to master. The insane frenzy you go on as the screen shrinks down while you do everything within your power to stay on…”
“Super fun, I love the characters and the story mode. There is a really high skill ceiling that allows for a lot of improvement. Also, this game has the better design for Maneki Neko and I hate the one currently in…”

“A classic and very well-made party game, perfect for destroying friendships. The movement and physics feel incredibly satisfying, and the mechanics are simple but work extremely well. Highly recommended.”

“I LOVE THIS GAME I WISH MORE PEOPLE STILL PLAYED”
“Tangerine is a top 100 player who bullies new players and cultivates a toxic culture on this game. He and his clique have made this game cold and ruthless; I do not recommend it to any new players as they will also seek…”

“Avoid if you only want to play solo.”
“It's fine on its own and works best as co-op experience. Otherwise I'm not too sold on the "gotta go fast" thing”
“this is a very good game. it's simple, arguably repetitve as well, but the multiplayer engagement and dynamics never get old. its a great game to put on and have a conversation with your friends (so long no one is a ♥♥♥…”

“It's just a damn good time, what else can I say? It does suck a little bit if there's a skill discrepancy in the group you're playing with, but when everyone either sucks or is around the same level? Comedy and laughs…”

— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Legitimately one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time. I'm so serious.
