Press release:
BUENOS AIRES — August 10th, 2026 — Developer Goblimp Games and publisher Byzantium have announced that Play Faster will launch on Steam on August 20, 2026.

Play Faster is a fast-paced precision platformer where every movement matters. Built around momentum, tight controls, and challenging level design, players race through handcrafted stages that reward route planing, mechanical mastery, and relentless practice.

While the game offers the challenge hardcore platforming fans expect, it also embraces competitive speedrunning as a core part of the experience. Every mechanic is fully deterministic, allowing players to develop faster routes, improve execution, and compete on verified online leaderboards where success is determined entirely by skill.

Full runs average 6–9 minutes, while individual levels can be completed in under two minutes when optimized, giving players constant opportunities to experiment, refine routes, and push for new personal bests. Instant restarts keep players in the action, while built-in replay tools, shadow runs, and practice modes make improvement fast and rewarding.

Designed for players who love punchy, fast-paced platforming as much as technical optimization, Play Faster combines exhilarating and flashy movement with a high skill ceiling that rewards experimentation, precision, mastery and the drive to compete for faster times.

Key features include:

Short, Replayable Runs: Full runs average 6–9 minutes, while individual levels can be mastered in under two minutes, encouraging constant iteration and optimization.

Routing-Focused Levels: Every level features multiple interconnected paths with different challenges and difficulty levels, encouraging players to experiment and discover their own optimal routes.

Skill-Based Movement: Simple to pick up but difficult to master; momentum, dashes, and chaining are fully deterministic.

Seamless Restarts: Instant retries keep players in flow, encouraging rapid experimentation.

Advanced Speedrunning Tools: High-precision timer, downloadable replays, shadow runs, and high precision metrics.

Competitive Integrity: Online leaderboards with validation, anti-cheat, and anti-splice systems.
