Runner3

Yesterday, Choice Provisions posted the latest devblog post for Runner3. This time around, they give us a sneak peek at one of the returning features of the game… Retro Challenges! They’re quite different this time around, as they take place across multiple worlds, separate and unique from the main game. Put together, they make up a video game inside a video game… nifty!

But that’s not the only difference… In previous Runner games, the Retro Challenges were all auto-running levels. Well… not in Runner3! According to Choice Provisions, they feature “tons of unique enemies, loads of strange obstacles and puzzles and pitfalls, and all sorts of surprises to discover and explore”. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

But the biggest difference is even more exciting: you can atually control CommanderVideo in those special levels!

Here’s one lone screenshot:
