⚡Hoomanz! Speedrun Challenge⚡ ⏱️🎮

Think you can match Shoo’s speed? Prove it.

We’re hosting a 100% completion speedrun contest for the Hoomanz! demo.

Your mission:

  • Scare ALL the Hoomanz

  • Grab ALL the collectibles (rescue all of the critters)

  • Cross the finish line as fast as possible

How to take part:

📹 Submit your best run and details via the official form with video proof (unlisted/listed/other hosting is fine, as long as we can see it). You can submit multiple runs, but only your fastest will count.

🕒 Make sure that you complete your recorded run with an external timer visible at all times in the video. 

We’ve attached a handy “how-to” video on setting up your recordings and timers at the bottom of this page.

⚠️ Submissions deadline: 20th October, 23:59 BST.

📜 Contest Rules 

Submission Requirements

  • Upload your video run (YouTube listed or unlisted/ or full video file) via the official entry form.

Run Criteria

  • 100% completion only — all Hoomanz scared, all collectibles gathered.

  • Start from a fresh demo boot.

  • Timer visible throughout.

  • Loading screen times do not count towards the final time. Our AutoSplitter automatically stops the timer during loading screens. But these should not be cut from the video!

Cheating / Invalid Runs

  • No cuts or editing in the video.

  • No external cheats, hacks, or tools beyond an approved timer.

  • Exploits that break the spirit of the run (skips, bugs, game-breaking shortcuts) may be disqualified at dev discretion.

Multiple Entries

  • You may submit multiple runs - only the fastest valid one counts for final results.

Dev Rights

  • We reserve the right to patch issues mid-competition and disqualify invalid runs.

  • By submitting, you agree your run may be showcased in community channels.

How set up your video and timer

New to speedrunning? No problem, we created a video step-by-step tutorial so it’s nice n easy for you.

 
 

Here’s a Google Drive folder with everything you need to set it up, pre-setup as you can see on the video:

Download Speedrun kit

What are these programs for?

Video capture: You can use any screen capture (even Windows’ built-in), but we highly recommend OBS — it’s free and reliable. Here’s a handy tutorial!

Timer: Use a prebuilt timing tool like LiveSplit (also free) — it’s made for exactly this. Follow this guide to set it up.

Automatic Timer Splitter: A program like AutoSplitter helps you with automatically pausing and advancing the timer during loading screens and when you finish your game, as manually it wouldn’t be precise.
