Super Haste

About Super Haste

Super Haste is a 3D first-person platformer from Glass Jug Games, released August 24 2025 on PC. It tasks you with chasing the thief Magus Maximus through 11 levels filled with speedrunning challenges, hidden easter eggs, and synthwave tracks. The story is a campy cash grab about recovering stolen "juices" from magical realms, but the gameplay is tight. It’s not a sequel or part of a series, just a standalone sprint through floating platforms and dimensional portals. The core hook is its focus on speed and precision over exploration. If you want a game where every second counts and your reflexes are tested, this is it.

Gameplay

You move in first-person, hopping between platforms while dodging hazards and optimizing routes. Each level has optional collectibles and secret paths that reward quick thinking. Controls feel snappy, with a dash that lets you chain jumps and a wall-run mechanic for tight spaces. The camera can be a foe in crowded areas, but the soundtrack keeps the pace high. Sessions average 20, 30 minutes per level, but retries are common due to high difficulty spikes. No respawns, just a quick restart. The final level locks in a time trial, pushing for sub-30 second runs. It’s all about muscle memory and learning the layout.

What Players Think

Super Haste holds an 82% PlayPile rating but a polarizing 7.8/10 average. 43% of players complete it, with 58% logging over 100 hours. Community moods split between "addictive" (27%) and "frustrating" (19%). One review calls it "the best speedrun tutorial I’ve ever played," while another gripes "I rage-quit 17 times." The soundtrack gets frequent praise, with 62% of players noting it "makes the grind tolerable." Completionists love the 32 achievements (21% earn all), but 34% of starters quit before level 5. Average playtime is 125 hours, though most players play in short bursts.

PlayPile's Take

At $29.99, Super Haste is a niche pick for speedrunners and platforming purists. The 32 achievements and optional challenges add rewatchability, but the punishing difficulty may turn off casual players. It’s not long, just 11 levels, but the time investment can be steep. If you thrive on mastering mechanics and love optimizing routes, it’s worth the price. Others might find it too repetitive. The game shines in its pure, unapologetic focus on speed, but don’t expect anything beyond that.

Storyline

A mysterious Magus Maximus has stolen all of your life savings – your precious juices – and hidden them. To recover them, you'll have to embark on a perilous journey across random places that are in this game, and even his magical dimensions.
