Most of the fun in RERUNNER is the level editor, which we call RUNNER MAKER.
RERUNNER has over 150 new levels, and they were all made with the RUNNER MAKER. We designed the RUNNER MAKER to work with controllers, and in fact, the 150 new levels were all designed exclusively with a controller. Being able to make these levels and share them with the community is part of the sauce that floats our meatball!
@N00BiSH We, of course, wish we could be on SW1. The amount of optimization we would need to do would compromise the user experience too much for our liking.
The SW1 is 9 years old at this point. One of the main things that holds us back is processor lag. At face value, it's easy to think that a simple-looking game like RUNNER or RERUNNER should just work, but the reality of what is going on behind the scenes requires significant performance. RERUNNER was also made in Unreal, which is something of a resource hog.
As someone mentioned, the level editor, RUNNER MAKER, also needs power, since you can switch between editing and RUNNER. There is also a MUSIC MAKER.
Happy to answer any questions about this Kickstarter. Or any questions you have!
It's a lot of fun reading these comments!
One thing to remember- Yes, this Kickstarter is asking you for help! But what you can get for a pledge is fairly amazing. If you like a good deal, it's worth checking out!

I hope this answers your question.
