Hey there, so this is probably a category that is somewhat niche but I'm sure there are people out there looking for games they can speedrun together with a buddy.

Well I just overhauled how multiplayer works in my game Tiles, instead of multiplayer being a sectioned off activity it's now integrated in to the core gameplay. The play style would be akin to "best ball" in golf, where you go with whoever is doing best. In this case, if one player finishes the level you can continue on to the next level, so you have two people simultaneously working on completing the game.

The page for the runs is here. https://www.speedrun.com/Tiles#Any_Co-op

And here's the game's page on steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/594750/Tiles/

Like I said, just let me know if you are interested and I'll get you a key :)

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.

My name is Austin Sojka, I am a game developer working towards the the release of my first game on steam. I don't do speedruns but I love watching them, especially during the charity events like games done quick.

I don't know if anyone will be passionate enough about my game to put in the hours to be able to speedrun it, but I designed a lot of levels with the idea of "If somebody got really good at my game they could complete this level extra fast by doing xyz". So if somebody does get to that point with my game those nugets of reward are there for them :P

I actually thought about posting some beta access keys in the Speedrunning section just for the sake of getting keys in to the hands of people who might appreciate that aspect of the game, though I'm not sure of the community rules on this sort of thing. If anybody has an opinion on that I'm all ears.

Cheers and again hello, nice to meet you all.
