SpeedRunners Youtuber Packs Now Live to Help Raise Money for Cancer Research

We have just launched 8 new Youtube celebrity-based characters in SpeedRunners, as part of a campaign to raise money for cancer research. Over the next month, players will decide which of two teams wins, and we will donate the revenue from the winning team’s DLC to cancer research.

Below you can find the list of Youtube celebrities included:

In addition, take a look at the Humble Flash Bundle to get the main game at a discount.

SpeedRunners is a cut-throat multiplayer platformer that pits 4 players agains each-other, locally and/or online. It’s developed by DoubleDutch Games and published by tinyBuild.

King of Speed is an in-game tournament between the characters of SpeedRunners. The first one was held in December 2013 and featured an ARG, the culmination of which revealed Game Modifiers.In the first King of Speed, we counted wins of individual characters for a month, and in the end Cosmo was crowned as King Cosmo and wore a crown for a month in-game.

This time The Falcon faces off with SpeedRunner in an ultimate showdown of Speed and Running. And they are backed up by teams of Youtubers to help! We will count the cumulative number of wins per team.

No, you can support your team by playing as either The Falcon or SpeedRunner.

How long will the King of Speed 2 run?

It will run for a month starting from October 20th (Monday), ending on November 20th (Thursday).

Personal statement from Alex Nichiporchik (CEO @tinyBuild): Screw cancer. It took the lives of countless people in my family, and almost took mine. I believe with the popularity of SpeedRunners we can make a difference to advance its research. Life is short, so let’s do something impactful while we can.
