It feels like Speed Limit had launched only yesterday. We shipped polished builds to game stores a month prior, sent review keys to press and streamers, and were eagerly anticipating for players to finally play the game.
We imagined Speed Limit as joyful and mischievous ode to the golden era of arcade games, so we were relieved when the first, mostly very positive impressions started to come in via reviews, streams, tweets, etc.
Here are some of your thoughts that made us all warm and fuzzy or made us laugh. <3
"Retro platform shooter + fast + rides = Remember that movie Die Hard? Well, this is Die Damn Easy. Thankfully there are infinite lives and you respawn at checkpoints. Feels like some Matrix scenes."
Exodust
"You can tell this game was made with care, and the developers really appreciated the games of the era that the game pays homage to."
MrUnbecoming
"I recommend this game if you're a masochist and don't mind dying hundreds of times."
MAME-FAN
Press also made some nice comments. :)
"In all my years of gaming I don’t think I have ever played a more fast-paced game than Speed Limit."
Alana Dunitz, GameGrin
"It’s like all the Fast & Furious movies crammed into one, over the top pixel package that just keeps getting more and more outlandish by the level. In fact, Speed Limit is better than Fast & Furious, because nobody ever talks about the importance of family."
Defunct Games
"Speed Limit is a work of art that makes you question the sanity of the developers."
Badger Nimahson, Stoffel Presents
"The game is just snowballing craziness from beginning to end, and that should come as no surprise when you look at the Croatian developer’s official website and notice that all of the developers on the Speed Limit page use groundhog pictures to represent team members instead of portraits. That’s bizarre and I’m here for it."

It's true, though
Arcade Edition and Penny & Dime Edition
We also listened to your complaints and thoughts on how to make the game better. We felt that adding new Arcade, Neon and Kiosk modes would enhance and prolong the experience, while keeping the spirit of the game intact.
The Arcade mode was also added to the demo, so feel free to check it out. If you already have the game, what are you waiting for? All updates are free. Cheers! :)
Free as in free beer, but don't drink and drive
We also invite you to share your best scores on Steam leaderboards, or a Speedrun database, or just brag on our Discord channel.
Nominations and Laurels
Speaking of bragging, we want to share some of the accolades and recognition we received following the launch. ;)
Thank you for reading! :)
We hope you have wonderful holidays and the bestest of best 2022!
