Speedrun Maker

As some people already know, I’m the kind of player who cares deeply about movement, especially in a game that’s supposed to be all about speedrunning. When movement is the core of the experience, the bar for quality isn’t just high, it’s everything. Unfortunately, Speedrun Maker doesn’t just fail to meet that bar, it trips over it, falls flat, and then keeps rolling downhill. I’ve played plenty of games with rough movement systems, but this one genuinely takes the cake. The movement here feels clunky, unresponsive, and frustrating, easily some of the worst I’ve ever experienced in any game that claims to be about speedrunning. And sadly, the “maker” part doesn’t save it either. The level editor feels barebones and unintuitive, offering far less flexibility and creativity than countless other games with smaller player bases and simpler concepts. If you’re hoping to make or share interesting speedrun-style levels, you’ll find yourself limited almost immediately. If you’re truly passionate about creating speedrun challenges or games, you’re better off making your own Project, and I genuinely mean that. Install something like Godot or another accessible engine, and you’ll have infinitely more freedom, control, and satisfaction than you’ll ever find here. In short: Speedrun Maker manages to fail at both halves of its own name, it’s neither a good speedrun experience, nor a good maker tool.
