SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is an incredibly unique game that combines precise platforming with an intense heavy metal soundtrack. There’s nothing quite like it and if you’re looking for a completely new experience unlike any other, you should definitely check this competitive 3D platformer out.

Speedy platforming

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is a platformer similar to Super Meat Boy in many ways, although you play in three dimensions rather than two. You have to run, jump, and speed your way through levels to reach the finish as quickly as you can. The controls are intuitive and the movement feels fluid, so there’s little left to be desired here.

If you enjoy fast-paced gameplay where quick reaction times are crucial you'll absolutely love this game, especially if you're a heavy metal fan.

Online scoreboards

Because the game revolves around speed, naturally there are online leaderboards that you can fight to get to the top of. Perfecting routes and shaving off milliseconds to get the best time is no easy task but if you're devoted and enjoy the game enough then it's absolutely worth it for the rewarding feeling you get when you finally succeed in pulling off an excellent run.

100 action-packed levels with potential for more

SEUM offers 100 levels as part of the base game, with each one being trickier than the last to keep things interesting. You’ll need to solve puzzles and perform tricky maneuvers if you plan on getting to the end! There’s even an in-game level editor for anyone particularly keen on developing their own tricky level to share with friends and foes alike. This is arguably one of the best features of the game as it allows you to express your creativity while also getting the chance to try out some incredible levels made by talented players in the SEUM community.

The secret beer cans

If you feel the game isn’t challenging enough, the developers have hidden beer cans deep within each level that only the most dedicated players will find.

If you like treasure hunts and are good at tricky platforming, then this additional feature is just for you.
