Speed Run 4

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Total of 31 levels to advance!
 * 2) * The game has high amount of variety. It has grasslands, deserts, stone, ice, snow, lava, and then even a candy land!
 * 3) As the name suggests, the game has a high sense of speed.
 * 4) It uses custom animations that make you feel like you are really running and makes the game slightly more realistic.
 * 5) This game is mainly an obby, but is divided into unique levels and has collectible cards. For the most part, it has a high speed, so it doesn't look or feel like a generic obby.
 * 6) The levels' music sounds really good and the chiptune style fits in the levels. (until the copyright update).
 * 7) It also spawned a lot of different mods (both first-party and third-party).
 * 8) Good graphics for its time, and it still holds up a bit today.
 * 9) The levels get harder as you progress, but it never seems impossible (except for level 27 and 29).
 * 10) * While Level 27 and 29 are the hardest levels in the game, if you use first-person view, it is slightly easier and less rage-inducing.
 * 11) There's also an unlockable level 32 that is truly the hardest level in the entire game, despite the fact you need to pay to unlock it.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unfortunately, a recent major update has changed the old music in the levels to royalty-free music due to copyright, so now the music is easily forgotten and does not match the levels at all.
 * 2) * Even before the major update, Level 21's music was also changed to royalty-free music.
 * 3) The collectible cards are good to collect if you are trying to collect badges, but other than giving you badges, they aren't really useful. Vurse could've made it so if you collected all the collectible cards in one go, you could unlock prizes like the 2 coils.
 * 4) There's gamepasses where you have to pay to use gravity and speed coils, but there's a third-party mod (while not very well-received) where you can get a free gravity coil, making the gamepasses somewhat useless.
 * 5) The name is a little confusing, making the player think that there was a prequel called "Speed Run 3" made by the same developer, but that didn't happen. The game is actually a standalone (unless you count the original Speed Run game, made by lolbunnyface.
