Haste 1.11.c for macOS

Haste is a third-person running game where you sprint through worlds that are literally breaking apart beneath your feet.

You play as Zoe—the Courier—racing across ten distinct Shards while the ground crumbles and physics goes haywire. Each Shard is built from procedurally generated chunks, so the route shifts every time you play. You need to finish one Shard to unlock the next, and you pick up four different abilities along the way that change how you move, jump, and survive the collapse.

If you want company, the whole thing supports online co-op. You and a few other Zoes can run through the entire campaign together, shouting at the screen while the world disintegrates. There is also Steam Workshop support for messing with community-made content. Voice language is English, and the interface speaks ten languages including Russian, German, Japanese, and Portuguese.

Green valley collapses under your feet

You start at the edge of a green valley that is already coming apart. The ground ahead tilts, breaks, and falls into nothing. The first thing you learn is that standing still is not an option. You hold forward and Zoe breaks into a sprint.

The first few seconds are about reading the terrain. A slope here, a crumbling ledge there. You jump a gap, land on a grassy platform that immediately starts to sink, and slide under a low rock arch before it collapses. Your heart picks up. The game does not give you a tutorial pop-up — it just throws you into the chaos and trusts you to figure it out. By the time you reach the first checkpoint, your hands are tight on the keyboard and you are already planning the next stretch.

About halfway through the Shard you unlock your first ability: a mid-air dash. Suddenly the gaps you were barely clearing become comfortable, and you start looking for shortcuts. A rock formation that looked like scenery five minutes ago is now a ramp you can launch off. You dash, twist in the air, and land on a higher path that saves you three seconds. That small victory feels huge. The Shard ends with a sprint across a bridge that shatters plank by plank behind you. You do not stop running until the screen flashes and the next Shard unlocks.

Speedrunning a Shard you know

Pick a Shard you have already cleared and the goal shifts: you are not just surviving, you are chasing a time. Here is a workflow that works for me.

First, run the Shard once at a comfortable pace. Do not try to go fast — just watch the level. Notice which platforms always appear in the same spot and which sections are truly random. Pay attention to where the collapse starts earliest. Those are your danger zones.

Second run: push the pace. Use your dash the moment it is off cooldown. Jump earlier than feels safe. If you fall, you learn where the limit is. The third run is where it comes together. You know the first big turn, the rock slide you can skip with a well-timed dash, and the section where staying low keeps you ahead of the falling debris. You finish the Shard twenty seconds faster than yesterday, and you immediately want to try again.

For co-op speedrunning, put one person on callout duty. That player runs slightly ahead and shouts upcoming hazards — “left path is gone next cycle, go right.” It sounds chaotic, and it is, but when you nail a clean run together it feels like a dance routine performed inside an earthquake. Some players download Haste for Mac specifically for this shared rush, and the cross-platform support means your Windows friends are already waiting when you launch.

Bottom line: the game rewards repetition without making it feel like a grind. Each attempt teaches you something small, and those small lessons stack into runs that feel slick and personal.

Version 1.11.c arrived April 1, 2025. The press kit confirms the date, so no fooling around.
