    I like the idea, the art direction and the gorgeous variety in visuals and animations that this has. But for me, it doesn't feel like I'm getting better at the game — rather, I'm learning to beat this specific level in every stage. The obstacles come at me so quickly and new mechanics are so abrupt that you can only progress by rote memorization — even while you get a bit better at movement or shooting, mostly you just die and then take a different turn or shoot somewhere in advance. It's very…

    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. Follow our curator for similar games https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/

    Immensely difficult which I wouldnt mind, if there werent so few checkpoints being in the game. Hence forcing you to not have fun, but to memorise the map so that you can pass the level. Hope to get a refund on this ♥♥♥♥

    I've never been to the arcade, but as a kid I played a lot of flash and retro games. This game scratches that nostalgia itch. Its fast paced, brutal and unforgiving, but it's really fun. Game starts while you are sitting on a train and all of a sudden you're running away from SWAT with a gun. After just 2 levels you jump into a car and after that you change a few more vehicles, it is constantly changing. Train and motorcycle levels reminded me of John Wick and for me they were the most…

    To start this game has it's quirks that you must learn. Some levels will piss you off beyond belief, however this game is addictive. Every death makes you feel a burning sensation to keep going and tell the enemies to eat ♥♥♥♥. I see this game having a very solid speed run scene eventually, it's built into the core of the gameplay. Only had one issue through my whole play through. It is a pain in the ass to control the motorcycle, even barely tapping the stick will send you entirely across…

    Cool idea, this game has a chance to evoke nostalgia, but, unfortunately, the idea is vastly degraded by implementation — playing "Speed Limit" feels like a chore to me: too much memorization is old school design, but it does not help to enjoy the game.

    It took me almost 50 minutes to complete one try in normal mode, the hardest difficulty, although it may be because I played the demo (which you can still try) a few months before. The premise of the game is pretty fun, running away from seems to be the whole government forces in the style of an action movie. The gameplay is actually quite simple and arcadey, but you will die a lot in your first try similar to playing Cuphead or Hotline Miami. I thought the premise of the specific stages that…

    Speed Limit is wicked fun. It would be nice if there were a few more levels but what's there is top notch. Looooove the sweet retro art and the music gets your heart pumping before the action even starts. And then it gets intense. Speed junkies, get your fill. Short but intense genre-hopper that will have you running, shooting, trainsurfing, driving, riding and flying as you strive to survive and then dominate. Guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping!

    Speed Limit is a game with a lot of things going on built on the back of a good idea. The idea of a non-stop action movie that constantly changes genre and gameplay style sounds like fun. The unfortunate reality is that while it is true that the set pieces change quickly and there is a good variety, the game doesn't play very well. The first ~3 stages are the ones that feel the best to play, whereas all the ones after that feel off. The movement is either too fast or too slow and often you'll…

    Visually and conceptually the game is amazing. What I disliked... -Button mashing incentivized -aim and move with same input, I vastly prefer twin stick -camera whipping back and forth everytime you turn left or right to shoot behind you -when the car section begins it does enable twin stick, but it is locked to 45* increments.

    The game reminded me of various games I played as a child. Speed ​​Limit offers various types of actions, so everyone will find at least a few for themselves to enjoy. For me, the game gets better after the first two levels. I'm not a fan of pixel art, but it's made great. It would be wonderful if I had such perfect music in games as a kid. Speed ​​is not my virtue but I managed to win on easy :) Buy it! Buy it!

    One of the only Steam games I've ever refunded. I think a lot of the problem is that this game isn't at all what it claims to be. The game constantly mentions that it is an "arcade-style" experience, but it's definitely not. If this was a real arcade game people would put 1-2 quarters max and then walk away and say "this game sucks". The backbone of the arcade experience is tied to high scores. Arcade-style games give you many opportunities to earn points, and as you get better you'll find…

    I LOVED this game. I finished the first run just now (on Arcade difficulty) and I was grinning the whole time. I will give 2 advice for people who are playing this game: #1: If you are playing this game for 1st time, Play it on Arcade difficulty. It will give you full flavour of the game without being tedious. Once you finish it once then you may decide to play it on other difficulties and you will be prepared for upcoming challenges. #2: Use a controller. There are sections which need Twin…

    A blast from the past, with style. One moment, you are in "Contra" just to be switched to "Spy Hunter" and then all of the sudden you are in "Zaxxon" with a taste of "Jungle Strike". It is a ride through the memories, but don't think this is just a dose of retro for senior gamers. Speed Limit is modern and dynamic, constantly making you question what the next level is going to be and how are you going to play. It comes with a ton of design wit and some really nice pixel art graphics. Audio…

    Speed Limit is a fun arcade action game, where the perspective of the gameplay and the gameplay style itself changes every 2 levels. It's framed as what is essentially a non-stop action movie setpiece, where if you die, then the footage is rewound, and you are placed at the last checkpoint. The controls for each gameplay style are very responsive, and the different gameplay styles are all fun to play. I think the Pseudo-3D motorcycle sections are my favorite, because of the sense of speed, and…

    I recommend this game if you're a masochist and don't mind dying hundreds of times. It's non-stop action, and it's so fast that you often can't anticipate what's about to kill you, so it becomes a memorization/pattern recognition game. I played it last night on my arcade cabinet below. https://youtu.be/JaatUWiSkrM

    Speed Limit is a solid fast-paced retro-arcade game. The controls feel responsive, it's smooth, it's well put together, and doesn't overstay it's welcome. It's not a very long game, but if you're interested in running it and going for the achievements you'll get plenty of time for your money. If you're the type to just play a game once then never touch it again, it may not be for you. Either way, there's a demo, and the demo is representative of the whole game - I think it's at least worth…

    I received a copy of Speed Limit from the developer through my curator page. An arcade button masher of the finest (?) tradition, Speed Limit is about a morning commute gone terribly wrong. You must help a random dude in a white tee fight his way through increasingly rediculous levels of police brutality: swat teams, government agents, minigun-equipped pickup trucks, attack choppers, fighter jets and more. Between levels Speed Limit likes to switch perspectives. Side-scroller From Contra to…

    I've only played for a little bit, but I can already tell this game delivers on its promise of arcade action. It's a good mix of unforgiving encounters and frequent checkpoints, providing challenge without frustration. It's not Hotline Miami in that way, it aims more to make you feel like you're having fun than being challenged. Each of its modes are totally distinct from one another, drawing on various inspirations each. The platforming bits feel Metal Slug like, though with just a trusty…

    A seamless, multi-genre pixel art chase sequence designed to be played through in a single sitting -- it starts as a side-scrolling run and gun, but cinematic transitions jump vehicles and genres (vertical shooter, isometric helicopter gunship game, rear-view race game etc.). It's a fantastic concept with great art and a clever story arc. Memorizing patterns is part and parcel of the old-school games this is paying homage to, but rare in my experience was it to this degree, because mostly what…

    We'll just cut to the chase. Speed Limit is a gorgeous Run and Gun arcade game that's both insanely fun and quite challenging. The game itself is pretty standard for games of this genre. What sets it apart from anything else that compares to it is its stunning visuals. The visual presentation is so amazing here I'd argue it's probably the best looking indie game you'll see in 2021 period.

    This game is brutal, but feels very fair in a really fun way, with a constant sense of escalation, and good checkpointing and quick meatboy-esque restarts. If you like a challenge that's fair and rewarding with quick loops to perfect a sequence, this game has that in spades.

Speed Limit breaks the speed limit by riding a perfect line between difficulty and enthralling gameplay. On paper, you wouldn't think the constant genre shifts would work for anything besides Battletoads. But that's not really what this is: Speed Limit is an action movie where you're the star.

    All damage is lethal in HMD, instead players make Life & Death Moves and the results of these ratchet up the tension of the game. For instance Life Moves can result in a higher Speed Limit, which is the target number to hit for a successful roll, making it more likely all players fail rolls.

    This game would be awesome if it were easier. Ok, it is an arcade-style runner where 1 hit can kill you, but the controls are just clunky as you don't aim with the mouse but with the arrow keys. Still, it is a great experience when you manage to get familiar with the control scheme

    I want to like this game, it seems like something I should enjoy but I just don't. I get what it's trying to do and it just feels kind of tedious rather than action packed for me. I have started this game up a bunch of times and it just fails to grab my attention. If you do buy this and you like the side scrolling shooter stuff you should buy Elevator Action instead. I recommend it because it seems to be well made. it's just not for me.
