Attention runners! We're excited for our next challenge as part of our SRC Series! If you don’t know, the SRC Series is a lineup of challenges we're rolling out on a semi-regular basis, funded entirely by Speedrun.com. SRC Series challenges are designed to be fun and engaging, with a focus on community involvement. The prize bounties are smaller compared to sponsored challenges, providing a break from the stress of high-stakes competition! We hope SRC Series challenges will continue to bring speedrunners together from all kinds of communities to discover new games and meet new people.

## The Game

For our next challenge, we've selected ULTRAKILL! If you're unfamiliar, ULTRAKILL is an FPS currently in development (available through early access) by Arsi “Hakita” Patala, and published by New Blood Interactive. ULTRAKILL currently has the highest active player count on Speedrun.com, with a whopping 1,266 speedrunners who’ve recently submitted runs. It’s certainly no surprise how many runners are attracted to ULTRAKILL, considering the pure speed and efficiency of its combat routing.

SRC Series: ULTRAKILL Speedrun Challenge

actually, higher refresh rate doesn't do anything.

I've just saw the rules and i saw the third-partys are not allowed so uhh i just wanted to ask if bloxstrap is allowed since a litterally use it all the time.

how do you speedrun a game where your whole screen is just full with explosions

i also have  another question. Can i edit the game's code to change the keybinds? because i use an AZERTY keyboard instead of QWERTY

turbowarp is so much better than scratch + there is no adventages. so can we use it?
