I am not usually a fan of speedrunning or platformers, but SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell not only sounds good it looks awesome too. I can already hear the frustration brewing in me at failing so much in it.

It's due out in "late July" according to the press release and Linux is a confirmed platform. I have requested access to it, so hopefully I can tell you how rubbish I am at it sometime soon.

After that trailer I am seriously looking forward to livestreaming some failure at it. Who would like to see that?

About the game
Like a bastard child of Quake 3 and Super Meat Boy, SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is truly hardcore and focuses on speed and fast reaction. Race and jump over platforms and bounce pads and shoot fireballs to reach an exit portal in the minimal amount of time. Reverse time and gravity. Compete with all players for top time in the online high scores. Only the toughest players will receive the Uber Skull medals!

If mind blowing speed and pumping adrenaline through your body is too boring, then search for the beer cans deeply hidden in each level. Who knows which secrets can be discovered by finding all of these delicious refreshments?

Well, as a heavy metal fan I guess I'm going to have to buy this :-).

Also did anyone notice this warning?

Warning: SEUM has been known to cause leaning disease. Symptoms are irrational leaning forward towards your screen when making difficult jumps. Smashing monitors with your head is not a way to beat the game!

Had the fortune to see the game demoed at Reboot Develop. Looked really fun and creative. Sweet to have it come to Linux!

I'd love to see hear Jack Black's voice in this.

I may have to buy this game for the music alone because I suck at games like this.

Maybe they'll release the soundtrack separately ... oooooo, yeah. Playing in the background while fighting off the cops in Payday 2. Mmmmmmmm, bullets.

Hopefully they plan a DRM free version, I think i'd like this.

Looks like Deadcore, but in a quake-style universe with added heavy metal music. Could be tempted...
