Supralympic Runners

About this game

Supralympic Runners is a first-person competition-focused endless runner.

You play an heavily fitted athletic champion, like you've never seen before in sport. But nerves of steel are highly required to compete for the worldwide leading position!

THE SUPRALYMPIC WORLD

Several hundred years after the technological revolution, the Supralympic Games became the world's foremost sports competition. They reflect the values and human aspirations of a sunless future.

You were born during the reign of manufactured products, long after the replacement of nature wherever it could be replaced. You even left your flesh body for the promise of technological eternity.

But while you could experience an infinity of forms, you embraced the life of a supralympian athlete. You have been training over and over to master and improve this high-tech body. In the hope that one day the Supralympic champion’s title will be yours…

MAIN FEATURES

• Rocket-powered running: run over 60 mph thanks to your back thruster.
  
• Dash: break through obstacles thanks to your rocket-shield.
  
• Bullet-time: experience the world in slow-motion thanks to your chronostaser.
  
• Brakes: slow down, and recycle kinetic energy to get back some dash power!
  
• A progression system: XP and Uracoins earned based on your running results.
  
• Workshop: spend Uracoins to customise your runner with armor pieces, back-thrusters and other advanced technologies.
  
• Athlete edition: choose the planet and nation you run for, and honor them by defeating others!
  
• 3 competition scales: national, international and interplanetary.
  
• 3 difficulty levels: rookie, pro, elite.

STUNGATE MECHANISM

Run as far as you can, avoid obstacles and hurry up while the Stungate is still open !



What the hell is a Stungate? It's a gate kept by a giant compressor! It's 50,000 tons of tungsten-titanium waiting to fall upon your head if you are late!

Let's say you get through, what then?
If you manage to cross 5 Stungates, you complete a stage. You have a few seconds of respite during which you can take a look at the cityscape. But don't relax too much, each completed stage means a new deadly obstacle into the death row!

EXTRA FEATURES

• 10 types of deadly obstacles to spell the end of each and every round.
  
• 8 types of collectable bonus to get extra-backing.
  
• 3 ranges of armor kits to push the deadline back.

DESTRUCTION

There are many ways to terminate your running in Supralympic Runners, but none is happy...



You could end up ROASTED by electric shocks, DISSOLVED into the slime, MELTED by lava, SLICED by lasers, SMASHED against walls, CRUSHED by compressors, FALLEN into the depths or PURGED under timeout.
No one will be spared…

TECH FEATURES

• Procedural generation of race tracks: theoretically infinite.
  
• Environment dynamic evolution: 3 biomes of corridors and cityscapes.
  
• Adaptative music: good waves to suit tension of the game.
  
• Physic-based velocity: thrust of rocket, thrust of legs, mass and air drag matters.
  
• Physic-based collisions: hold tight, make it or break it!

DETAILED CORE GAMEPLAY

Since you seem interested, let’s see under the hood...

• Forward Speed Control

Unlike many endless runners you can manage your running speed thanks to your back thruster. This speed is driven with physic-based parameters : thrust of motor and legs and body drag.
Indeed it’s not an automatic-forward but a minimal-forward mechanic forcing you to run.

• Lateral Control

The runway has no railroads. It means that you can freely and continuously move laterally between bounding walls.
Also, the runner lateral speed is non-linearly affected by its forward speed, it means the fastest you run forward, the slowest you run laterally, following a specific curve.

• Vertical Control

Well you can obviously jump and slide, but we took care to improve the vertical mobility of the runner : vertical speed is not only driven by gravity but also by motor thrust. This means you have the ability not only to sustain jumps but also to dive lightning-fast into the ground.

• Special Actions

You can dash forward making your runner invulnerable to minor damages during the thrust.
You can also experience the world in slow motion, thanks to the chronostaser that comes within your running avatar.

• Collisions

Because of the fine control considerations above, the collisions are physic-based. The game accurately detect them based on each body part colliders of your runner.

  Thank to those who have participated in the development of the game and to those who supported us. Supralympic Runners is our first game project that represents thousands of hours of hard work. An artisanal production made by childhood friends, with the help of people from the Toulouse video game development community. Today we decide to offer the game. We are no longer active in the creation of video games, and the development of Supralympic Runners have been stopped since 2019. Have fun on the track!

  Customisation Update !

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32707816/7b65f209fdfbd5150458f80653302ed20c0318c9.jpg Supralympic Runners has now: an XP system: the more you run, the more you run! Uracoins! It's the runner money. You get it reaching checkpoints, and multiply them with collectibles during the races! a freakin WORKSHOP where you can use Uracoins to customise your runner with high-performance and expensive gears! a deep variation of every physical aspects of the game though the gears: resilience, impulse, density, aerodynamics, etc. a better slow down system: separated from the slow motion, it's now a full feature by itself. When you slow down, you get back some dash power to get back your speed afterward! a better vertical control: you can plane very smoothly when holding the jump button, and can get back to the ground faster. You can control your jump lenght! We kinda drive away from a classical endless runner to steal some ideas from sports cars games - however Supalympics stays an arcade game. The customisation update is the biggest update we wanted to make before the release. Can you feel the heat?!
