Originally called Haste: Broken Worlds and now just Haste, it's the latest game from Landfall (Content Warning, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Clustertruck) that ensures you gotta go fast.
A Sonic-like? Well, sort-of. It's a high-speed third-person running game, set in a collapsing universe. It's an odd one to describe really. You're racing through various zones as quickly as possible, trying to build up speed by landing as perfectly as possible to boost yourself constantly across the map. The demo was impressive and good fun and now it's available with Native Linux support and rated Steam Deck Playable by Valve.

Race through a variety of worlds, master your movement and use items and abilities to progress through each level before it falls apart around you. The game consists of ten Shards, each featuring a collection of procedurally generated levels that must be completed without fail to unlock the next. You’ll encounter challenges and characters on your journey, seeking answers about what lies behind the destruction, and how to escape it!

The demo did have an issue where alt+tab would just close the game. It's not clear if that's been solved yet. So keep that in mind for the release.
