SYNTHROME is designed with speedrunners in mind. It mixes early 2000s 3D platformer charm with modern gameplay & game design.
The game is all about speed, precision, and fluid movement.
Every jump, slide, and burst of speed must be carefully timed, turning each level into a test of skill and strategy.
Explore levels packed with shortcuts, secrets, and rewards. No hand-holding—just pure challenge. Prove your skill.
Level Design
SYNTHROME level design is inspired by Sonic adventure, where the levels feel more like a playground, and the more you master the mechanics & memorize the level, the more you can find new ways, faster times to beat the level, or search for secrets & rewards.
It follows the open-level design philosophy where the level is sort of linear but almost everything you see in the level is reachable and is part of the design (almost nothing is “just a background”)
This offers a ton of replay value for the players & new ways to speedrun the game, as we encourage players to “break” the levels & the game (I mean, it’s more fun isn’t it?)
Oh and we also have a challenge mode (Check Extra content section)
