SpeedRunner HD

A game by DoubleDutch Games for Xbox 360, originally released in 2011.
SpeedRunner HD is a conversion of the Flash-based game SpeedRunner from DoubleDutch Games. The original title was a hit, garnering millions of plays in just the first month after release. The game has been updated with an HD presentation for the Xbox Live Indie Games channel, allowing you to sit in front of your video wall with a controller in hand as you run, jump, double jump, slide, grapple, and wall jump your way through each of the time-based levels.

SpeedRunner HD’s Flash origins helped the development team in a number of ways, perhaps the most important of which is that the original game essentially acted as an ongoing playtest, allowing the developers to gather data about player impressions and gameplay styles, all the while making design improvements.
