Press release:
BUENOS AIRES — August 20th, 2026 — Developer Goblimp Games and publisher Byzantium have announced that Play Faster is now available on Steam for $4.99, with a 10% launch discount for a limited time.

Built around fast movement, tight controls, and challenging handcrafted levels, Play Faster puts players in control of every jump, dash, and route. Its deterministic movement system rewards precision and consistency, while multiple interconnected paths let players experiment with different approaches and find their own way through each level.

Individual levels can be completed in as little as 30 seconds to 1.5 minutes when played optimally, while full runs average 6–9 minutes. Instant restarts keep the action moving, making it easy to jump straight back in and refine a route, improve execution, or chase a faster time.

For players who want to push beyond simply finishing a level, Play Faster features a complete set of competitive tools. Verified online leaderboards, downloadable replays, shadow runs, practice modes, and anti-cheat and anti-splice systems give players everything they need to analyze their performance and compete on a level playing field.

Designed for players who love punchy, fast-paced platforming as much as technical optimization, Play Faster combines exhilarating, 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.
