What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“It's important to us that we get it out there as soon as we can to gather vital feedback throughout the development process. We have a lot of crazy ideas for this game and would like to go through them with a wide audience so we can filter and refine and produce something that everyone will love.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on sticking with early access until we're happy this game is polished enough to call a 1.0 although we don't intend on stopping there and do plan to keep the game updated with new content post-release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We intend for the game to feel more polished and release worthy.
We do also intend to add more game modes before launch as well as new features such as quests and talent trees.
User feedback during early access will strongly direct our plans going forward.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Spell Karts has many of its intended launch features, with the majority of work left being polishing, bug fixing and responding to user feedback. We believe it to be fun to play in its current state and worth a try!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not plan on changing the pricing post-release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are currently relying on online forms to collate feedback and bug reports (links available in-game).
All feedback is welcome, especially suggestions around balance and gameplay improvements.
In the future we plan on switching to Discord.”

The spells


The spell system consists of 4 schools of magic:

The 3 primary schools of Arcane, Fire and Nature come with 3 spells:
  • Arcane/Fire/Nature Ball - sends a ball of energy forward dealing maximum effect to a target (or targets) on hit
  • Arcane/Fire/Nature Blast - an area of effect wave centred on your kart, dealing effects to those near you
