SpeedRunners, a pretty popular multi-player running game that pits players against each other is now officially out and available on Linux.

I haven't checked it out myself, and I don't have a key to it so I probably won't be able to give it any in-depth thoughts at the moment. Does look like fun though!

It has a single-player campaign designed to ease you into the multi-player, so that's pretty cool.

About the game
In a city filled with superheroes, getting to crimes becomes a competition on its own. Fortunately there are enough rockets, bombs, grappling hooks, spikes, and other goodies lying around -- to make the competition fun and fast. Welcome to SpeedRunners.

SpeedRunners is a 4 player competitive platformer with grappling hooks, power-ups, and interactive environments. Run, jump, swing around, fire rockets, grapple onto people to knock them off screen.

Find SpeedRunners on Steam.

You also get a free key of [No Time To Explain Remastered](http://store.steampowered.com/app/368730/) if you bought Speedrunners during Early Access.

I got Speedrunners from an old humble bundle I bought last year: Humble Awesome Games Done Quick 2015 Bundle!, and was pleased to see another game popping into my list. :)
