Last weekend the tinyBuild side of SpeedRunners was in San Antonio (Texas) at PAX South. We worked really hard to make the biggest possible showcase of our competitive games, and naturally SpeedRunners was a runaway success.
Special thanks to Paolo (9-year old gold league player) who kindly agreed not to destroy everyone, but rather troll people by doing extra swings and constantly taunting.

Not many people realize, but during the showcase we use the SpeedRunners Party Mode - a free version of SpeedRunners available to everyone, completely free. It runs itself, has 3 maps and 4 characters. Bots spawn, start running. If you interact with a controller, you take over control of a bot. This build works like a charm. Get it on http://speedrunners.com!
My favorite part about these showcases is how we constantly iterate, and try to place our most popular games in strategically important locations. If you want to read more about our showcase, check out this novel-sized post-mortem with loads of videos (including almost getting shot in the ghetto).

When this post goes live, we will be LIVE ON TWITCH at http://twitch.tv/tinybuild with me, Gert-Jan, Matthijs and Wouter -- we will be playing SpeedRunners and answering your questions
For the past several weeks we've been running a Workshop Contest where map creators could participate for a chance to get into the official SpeedRunners level roster.
The team has played through all the top maps and decided upon the winner!
Please congratulate GraphiqueNez2 for creating Fresh Out
This map allows you to pull off some crazy tricks and has a very nice flow to it. It will probably be adored by pro-players. We will create custom artwork for the level and include it in the official roster!
I would also like to thank everyone for participating - the amount of great levels created, and how much people vote now on user maps, are nothing short of amazing.
There are now over 8,000 user levels, with more appearing every day! Keep up the great work.

Happy Holidays everyone. Lerika (the artist on maps like Theme Park and Ski Resort) made this little postcard for you all :)
This has been a phenomenal year for SpeedRunners, so we decided to pull up some worldwide leaderboards in Ranked, and give some fame to the best players!
Here is the TOP10 of SpeedRunners Ranked Players Worldwide!

Remember some time ago we said SpeedRunners would get a free offline mode? That day is today!
We have just released a SpeedRunners Party Mode in the form of a demo to the full game. The build is very similar to the one we use at shows like PAX or Gamescom - the game runs itself, no maintenance or setup required. Ideal for a party setting!
Launch game
Press A (or click on PLAY GAME)
4 bots spawn, start playing the game
Press any button on any controller (or keyboard) to take control of a bot
If you're afk, the bot takes control back
SS Royale, Alley, and Theme Park are on auto-rotation
No setup, no explanation, ideal for a party setting!
*note - you can't install the demo on accounts with the full game, it's a Steam restriction - we're working on getting a similar Party Mode into the full game.
We really need the community's help to spread this demo, as we feel it's a great party game - that's free! Ideal for college campuses, bars, and any local multiplayer party!
