SPEEDY 9

Can you lower your PB?

---

SPEEDY 9 is a rapid-fire collection of nine arcade challenges built around the speedrunning scene.

Inspired by the glowing vector graphics of the Vectrex, every stage is stripped down to pure movement, precision, pattern recognition, and speed. Learn the rules, discover the shortcuts, exploit every advantage, and shave milliseconds from your total time.

Nine games. One clock. Every millisecond counts.

The Goal

Complete all nine microgames as quickly as possible. Each stage presents a different test—from racing and navigation to aiming, memory, and classic arcade action.

The first eight stages can be tackled in any order. Complete them all to unlock the final challenge and finish your run.

Built for Speedrunning

SPEEDY 9 is designed to be replayed, routed, and mastered. Every challenge has simple controls, a clear objective, and room for optimization.

• Choose your own stage order.
• Learn faster routes and more efficient strategies.
• Use shortcuts—and a few suspiciously useful exploits.
• Adapt when a challenge changes between runs.
• Chase a new personal best one split at a time.

The obvious solution is not always the fastest one.

The Timer

Starting a run activates the master clock. The timer records your total active play time across all nine stages and creates a split whenever a challenge is completed.

Time spent on the stage-select screen is excluded, so you can review your route without sacrificing the run. Once a stage begins, however, the clock is live until you complete it.

The LiveSplit-inspired display tracks your current time, completed stages, individual splits, and performance against your personal best. A tiny mistake can cost the run. A cleaner route can save it.

How Fast Can You Go?

Learn the games. Build your route. Break the clock.
