Hi there everyone, I've always thought speedrunning was very cool even though I never got in to it myself. I am about to release my first game on steam and all throughout the level design process I thought to myself, if someone gets very good at this game they will be able to complete this level much faster by doing XYZ. It could possibly be a good game for speedrunning if people get in to it enough.
Tiles is set to release on March 20th, even though it is categorized as a puzzle game many of the levels are not puzzles at all and are instead more about speed and timing. Here's a link to the steam page for more info. http://store.steampowered.com/app/594750/
So to keep this short and sweet, because I think this community is really cool I would like to give beta keys to anyone who is interested. Also, as for the challenge part of it, if anyone actually manages to post a run of the game I will award a $50 cash prize (via PayPal) to the first person to do so :)
Here's 25 keys to start with, please post if you take one so I can mark it off.

Thanks, I hope you enjoy my game.
Edit: Well, the challenge has been complete! https://www.speedrun.com/run/0y6k71jz
I took the last one (8M74L-9YCIW-KEJYL).
The game seems interesting, i'll give it a try.
Thanks.
I took 66HTY-L2C22-PNZRY
Thank you for the key! After seeing the game I'll definitely try it out.
Nice james, and good luck. I had the Gyoo on discord ask me why I would just take the first run as the winner, and the reason is because I would be impressed just to see someone beat all the levels in one session... The final page of levels is quite hard :P. So I'm essentially rewarding the first person to show me a video of them beating the game.
Plus then if somebody has done a run it can be listed on the site as a game to run which would be awesome :D
I watched PackSciences stream and I think the color choices in this game are suspiciously close to Tyler, a 1995 vintage WIndows game I played when I was a little kid. It makes me think you, the developer, were inspired by the same game?
Cheers
Oh, well thanks for the comparison but no I've never seen that game before. The color choices are fairly straight forward though, it's just the primary and secondary colors on a color wheel (tweeked to be more visually appealing though).
By the way, did you grab a key? Feel free to if you haven't yet.
Alright, I got it VJTDR-54PWP-ALJ60 Don't know if I will try the whole game, but I'll check it sometime
I grabbed one of the keys in the middle- 5EHLR-QW64J-8G6QJ
edit: Well, I was going to try the runthrough... but attempting to capture the game fails, giving a white screen or whatever windows are behind it. Looks like a fun game though, it'll be nice to be able to go through on my own time instead of trying to rush through all at once.. again. (I've done it with a few puzzle games now)
Hmm, that's interesting. PackSciences also had a similar issue when using OBS, but the he switched to XSplit and it worked fine.
Tip for anyone struggling with sections that require you to move very quickly: You can move with both the WASD and direction keys, and inputs will stack AND be buffered in a queue.
