Is it still worth playing?

A multiplayer side scrolling racing game from DoubleDutch Games, published by tinyBuild, which began as a free browser game and reached Steam in 2013. Up to four players race to outrun each other with grappling hooks, power ups and interactive environments, and the screen moves with whoever leads. If you fall behind far enough you are eliminated, and as players drop out the screen shrinks, with the edges glowing red, so staying alive gets harder. The last runner standing wins the round, and you need to win three to take the match, or four in a team of two. There are five characters with their own traits, and you jump, slide and grapple around a dozen or so courses with missiles and mines to fire at rivals. Short rounds still make a game for friends easy to start.
