The Game
Runic Relay: The Trials is a First Person Platforming game with a focus on Speedrunning. Play as an apprentice wizard who has entered in a competition called “The Trials.” Each trial takes place in a magically constructed dungeon, and consists of a short challenge that you must complete using the tools given to you. These tools include multiple spells, which you can use in tandem with one another to complete tasks that one spell alone might not be able to.

This game is actually sick. I was honestly thinking this was going to be one of those super hard unfair precision platformers, but this was surprisingly entertaining. The abilities give you wild mechanics to get through stages the creator has already made a leaderboard which was immensely entertaining watching the names go down as I progressed through the game. I cannot recommend this enough I hope I remember to check this when it gets reupdated because it was a ton of fun to play through. It looks beautiful, plays beautiful, and I didn't run into a single glitch granted I wasn't trying to break the game intentionally either. The game is difficult at parts, but never unfair. The fire+shear combo made me immensely happy those abilities in tandem felt great.

Game is really early on in development, but it's looking and feeling really good already. If you like time trial type games, you should definitely give this game a go. Levels start out more basic with just moving and jumping, but as the levels progress you unlock special powers that give you abilities that can be used to complete objectives and levels faster.
In the later levels you can have multiple abilities (spells in the game) equipped at the same time and different combinations give you an additional ability which is really neat. Another cool idea is that once you complete a level using the recommended spells, you're free to change them to whatever you want and see if you can find a way to complete the level even faster. It's free to try, so if any of this sounded interesting I'd recommend at least trying out the first few stages to see what you think.

At the time I'm writing this review the game is in an early state, but it's already so cool ! A lot of differents levels, with a lot a variety between them. If you like platformer time trial, it should be for you !

This is a pretty sweet game, aimed at the speedrunning community.
While as of the time of this review, it is still in early development stages, it is a nicely playable game.
The big things to note here are that the Tether spell is not super intuitive at first in its use (hint: it's like you're Spiderman).
I wish that the spikes looked a little more...spiky? They look odd, but the red coloration definitely gets the point across of HEY DON'T TOUCH ME.
I found myself wishing that there was a little variation in the level music from time to time as well.
Overall, this is a very fun game. If you enjoy competing against people for top scores on speed, this is definitely a game for you.

Incredibly fun game that can be a bit buggy with certain interactions.
