Created by [[https://pinestudio.co][Pine +Studio]] in early 2016 and first released as a +[[https://gamejolt.com/games/seum-speedrunners-from-hell-demo/154868][demo +on GameJolt]], this game was successfully green-lit on Steam and has +amassed a cult following on multiple consoles. + +Here's the game description straight from the developers: + +#+begin_quote +Like a bastard child of Quake 3 and Super Meat Boy, SEUM: Speedrunners +from Hell is truly hardcore and focuses on speed and fast reaction. +#+end_quote + +* Story + +SEUM does a great job setting the stage when you open the game for the +first time, playing an animated video in the form of comic book images. +You see Marty, the protagonist, sitting around drinking his beer as +Satan busts down the door, cuts his hand off, and steals all his beer +and bacon. As Satan is leaving, Marty whips a vinyl record across the +room and cuts off one of Satan's hands. This hand is what allows you to +use all the powers in the game. + +* Gameplay + +To accomplish each level, you will need to get to the final blue portal +under a certain time limit. You can beat a level by getting to the +portal before the time meter runs out or "Dominate" a level by beating +it within a shorter time limit (noted by a bright red/orange color in +the time meter). + +The portal is usually set behind locked gates, protected by dangerous +defenses, or in hard-to-reach places. To reach the portal, you'll need +to go through any existing orange portals, light all yellow beacons, +avoid things like fireballs and blades, or use any satanic power orbs +lying around. These special abilities include: + +- Gravity +- Teleport +- Rewind +- Spawn platform +- Roar (DLC) +- Rocket (DLC) +- Shadow world (DLC) + +For the main storyline, there are nine floors to beat. Each floor +contains nine regular levels, one boss level, and one bonus level; +although you don't technically need to beat all levels to advance to the +next floor. # In-Game Screenshots + +The main menu gives you plenty of options for tuning your system, +playing main levels, playing the DLC, or exploring the other game modes. + +Once you enter a level, you can look around and strategize before +starting. Clicking any button will start the menu, and you'll have to +restart if you die. One of the great things about SEUM is that it has +great keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly smash =R= to restart the level +or =M= to return to the level menu. + +Once you're able to win a level, you'll see the high scores and can +watch replays of the best scores. + +Each regular level also contains a beer in a disguised location that may +take some out-of-the-box thinking. |
