SpeedRunners is being developed by Dutch developer DoubleDutch Games and published by tinyBuild. It's a colourful fast-paced same-screen multiplayer game in which you run, jump, and swing through levels while using weapons and other items to prevent your opponents from doing the same.

Normally, SpeedRunners costs £10.99 / $14.99, but you can play it for absolutely nothing until the end of Sunday, and if you like it you can buy it for a third of its usual price at £3.62 / $4.94.
