(Updated 10/2!)  I am Tom Sennett. You may know me from such "classics" as When The Bomb Goes Off, RunMan's Monster Fracas, or Tom Sennett, Procrastinator. I have joined forces with Matt Thorson. You may know Matt from such abusive experiences as MoneySeize, Jumper 3, or An Untitled Story. If you don't know either of us, YOU SURE WILL ONCE THIS GAME IS OUT.  Race Around the World is a platformer with an emphasis on speed and flow. To get a good score on each course, you have to run through it really fast without stopping. The actual scoring is a bit more complex than that, but that's basically it. You can't die, because dying's not fun. All the music in this game is from the public domain, and includes songs by Robert Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and many others. After 4+ years of the work, the game is finally arriving OCTOBER 1, 2009.Get pumped.Edit: The game is out, get it here.

The graphics have this pure, beautiful and smooth style. I'm so in love with them. Also, unfortunately I haven't played any of your games before, but this one looks plain awesome. The gameplay reminded me of Sonic, although RunMan seems to possess this very unique and somewhat funny style of its own.
I totally adore it already, would love to play a demo.

Liked monster fracas, even though i never had the patience to play it for more than a few minutes at the time, and it got a bit repetitive with the same music and the same backgrounds all the time. It seems like you have solved that problem!

OH yay! This is pretty exciting news - unusually, I've been following Runman since... well, it's been a while. Either Going Coconuts or Unlimited. Whichever came first. Always liked the character, always hoped to see more of him. Naturally Runman Monster Fracas really got me enthused - it's so smooth, and the banjo music was pretty boss.
And now this! Looks like an Ultimate Runman, of sorts. With more banjo blues. Glee.

YES.

Runman's Monster Fracas is one of my favorite arcade styled games, EVER.

 It's unrelated, but I'd say this video sums up our game perfectly anyway.

Yeah, it's neat  So you're working on this too huh? I'm quite a fan acually, jumper two helped me and my friends kill a serious amount of time during a schoolyear(got 89% or something like that), and An Untitled Story had me glued to the screen for a week. Maybe the best indie platform explorer(IPE?) game I've played, even though some bosses where just way too hard  I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread, will be interesting to see where it goes |

That really means a lot to me. You can't die, because dying's not fun.
...and you've got the guy from Jumper working on this? I can behave when I need to  We got through it with something like 20 000 deaths   |
