We wanted to let you know that Season 2 (update #04) will not be coming on Monday, October 3rd as we originally announced. The reason is that Steam is going through store change and they recommended not to have any bigger updates while they are in the midst of doing that. The update will come out by the end of next week. Sorry about that and thanks for your patience!

Hi SEUM players! We have a big update #04 coming out on Monday, October 3rd and wanted to give you a heads up. We've fixed all significant glitches that were used to get better leaderboard times. This means it's time for the first leaderboard reset. Best players from season 1 will get a special place in the "Pit of Infamy" and will be remembered until the end of times. To make season 2 more special we're also going to release a map pack with 11 new levels! For free ;) Another significant feature is that you'll be able to watch replays of other players when you beat Uber Skull time on the level. The game has also been translated into more languages: German, Russian, French, Spanish, Polish and Croatian. We're still working hard on the level editor. It's very likely it will be the main feature of update #05.

Focus of this update is still mostly bug fixes. But, we also included a little gift for you in the "Extras" section! ;) Speedrun mode:

• Displaying correct time differences from the best run
• Fixed problem with falling in level 82

Today, we (Pine Studio and Headup Games) globally announced that SEUM will be coming to PC, Mac and Linux in late July. But not only that - we also created a new Trailer, you can watch it here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/457210
SEUM: Speedrunners From Hell is about running through tricky stages that bristle with obstacles and traps. Think Super Meat Boy + Portal + Quake and you'll get a general idea - hardcore and fast and once started, you can't stop again. Hell, it is the first competitive heavy metal first-person platformer! You run, jump, fly and teleport through more than a hundred deadly arenas, each more devilish than the last. Play your best, and secure a top spot in the online leaderboards and find the beer cans hidden throughout in every level. Hell yeah - beer! :-)
And is there a story in SEUM? Yes, of course it is! It's all about Marty who had a really bad morning: Demons disrupted his late breakfast and ripped off his right arm; but even worse: they stole all his beer - the last batch of limited edition Walrus Ale (tm)! Pissed as hell, he ripped off an arm of a fallen demon and attached it to himself. Well, not beautiful but quite handy, as it casts some nasty fireballs. So his morning plans have changed: he's heading to hell to get back his beer - and deliver some payback..ASAP!
