SupporterIn partnership with Upsprite Games, we’re launching the Shoot for the Stars Speedrun Challenge on May 22nd, 2025 - just one week after the game’s full release, which is TODAY!
You are a pistol with a dream.
From the quiet perch of your windowsill, you gaze longingly at the stars, certain you belong among them - but to earn your place in the sky, you’ll need to blast your way through a merciless ascent using only recoil and grit. Shoot For The Stars is a physics-based rage-platformer where patience, precision, and sheer willpower are your only allies.
The stars await.. but they won’t make it easy. The fastest completion times will take home a cut of the $500 prize pool!
When the challenge goes live, you’ll be able to follow along in the #challenge-discussion channel.

If you spawn the speeder and jump on top of it you get an interesting boost - maybe if we do something that makes the game slow motion we could turn this into a real boost?
Like adrenaline?
Edit: I realized that opening the inventory with the grenade and binoculars slows down time - gonna do some testing
The current problem is that it seems the devs have disabled opening the inventory in the air - which also makes me think I’m onto something.
Maybe if we can press jump + inventory on the same frame or something. But yeah, I’m confident there’s something here
By jumping up some pipes and then across a.. post? Pole? You can get on top of the rooftops near the cantina at the very start of Canto
Unsure if you can get into the back of Club Tarsus to steal the Identicards, or maybe hit some trigger to load the next area to skip into the second quest "Outlaws" - but I doubt that one.
What's the plan now that the game has been released?
Just the title, you gotta update the Discord link and set it so that it doesn't expire

Have feedback? New ideas for features inside the popover? Let's discuss!
Thread for discussing the load remover + autosplitter I posted in resources :) https://www.speedrun.com/RoboCop_Rogue_City/resources/9zmu2
Please test and let me know if there are any issues. Also if any developer would like to take over this ASL, be my guest. I don't plan on putting a ton of work into it, I just didn't see anyone else working on one and figured i'd get the basics working :)
Should pause on loads and split on every map change (when you go between interiors/exteriors)
Today we are extremely excited to announce the $10,000 speedrun challenge for Ghostrunner 2! We have been working heavily with 505 Games these last months to put together an awesome challenge for you, which can read more about here!
