Hi, I wanted to put my game Parkour Legends on your radar

Hi everyone at r/speedrun

I just released a game on Steam called Parkour Legends: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2115130

First, a very quick summary for context: think Super Meat Boy + Olli Olli or Celeste with parkour. Ok, that should suffice.

I genuinely believe it's a game you'll appreciate. There are many nuanced mechanics related to various moves you can do throughout the levels, how they affect temporary speed boosts, and usually several routes and sometimes even shortcuts you can find throughout the levels. Of course there are leaderboards, but as I developed the game, I already noticed some people posting speed runs of the demo on YouTube. So I added replays directly into the game and its leaderboards.

I don't want to try and oversell it here. I just think if you try the demo or the full game, you'll see something there. I always knew speedrunners might appreciate the game, so a lot of things I added throughout development had the community in mind, like the replays and mechanics I mentioned before, but also things like being able to turn on visualizations for hit boxes in the level and speedometer at the top left in the UI. Just little touches that I noticed people usually try to discover through hacks. I've already seen a few streamers challenging each other's best times for certain levels and it's pretty fun to watch.

Anyway, that's all. Hopefully I see some of you on the leaderboards one day.
