Jetrunners! Let’s kick off the New Year with some pretty cool news. JETRUNNER will be featured on stage TOMORROW (January 9th) at Awesome Games Done Quick 2026!
That’s right, our communities very own Xyphles will be flying the JETRUNNER flag on stage tomorrow and hitting the arena hard, aiming to rocket through the game in a staggering 35 minutes. For those of you that have been with us a while, you might recall Xyphles was the third place winner of our
Speedrun.com challenge that we hosted back when we launched in September, so he’s certainly no stranger to soaring above the clouds. Expect plenty of the 'hidden arts' of Jetrunning to be on display, this man has been cooking. But wait...there's more! It's a great privileged to have had our game director, Oliver, invited to sit in and join the commentary team alongside fellow Jetrunner, ItzBytes! Whilst Oliver can't be there in person, you can be sure there will be plenty of insight and analysis across the session.
For all of us on the Development team, Games Done Quick has been a beacon of entertainment and incredible inspiration over the years and is of course a cornerstone event for the speedrunning community. We’d be lying if we said that it hadn’t played a part in inspiring the types of games we were interested in or wanted to make. To have JETRUNNER not only be part of the event, but also be a game that our community activley wants to showcase at the event...we've made it gang T_T None of this would have been possible without any of you, which is further cemented by the fact Xyphles wants this to be about you too.
LESS MUSHY, MORE RUSHY - BACK TO BUSINESS.
