About This Game

OVERVIEW

A retro kart-racing adventure with an ensemble of cute, colorful animal characters! Set in a theme park, compete to win tickets, unlock courses and new worlds to explore. Drive with precise, arcade-style movement (complete with drift and boost mechanics), as well as items to use strategically against your opponents!

FEATURES

16 courses to race on!

  • Standard Races - Race against your opponents and strive for 1st place

  • Token Races - Collect all the tokens...AND also win the race

  • Boss Races - Compete against several unique mechanical bosses in a 1v1 race

Drifting / Boosting - Build up charge by drifting and release to boost

Building up even more charge lets you use a super-boost!

Items - Collect these to boost, attack, and lay hazards for your opponents

Hub World - Between races, you will explore a literal hub world -- Amusement Land itself! There are four unique areas, each with their own track entrances, as well as some secrets to uncover...

STORY

Amusement Land is a rundown, abandoned theme park taken over by sentient animatronic creatures. In order to save Amusement Land, you (a mascot of the park) have to beat them all in a race to induce ego death in their core processing units. Along the way, you'll race with other mascots to train for dueling those mechanical baddies as well as explore the theme park itself.

CONTROLS

The game is designed for controller input, but it is playable with a keyboard!

  • Arrow Keys - Drive

  • Space - Use Item / Boost

  • Enter - Pause

  • Z - Hop / Drift

  • X - Accelerate

  • C - Brake

OTHER INFO

This game was made entirely using free and open source software: Godot, Krita, Blender, and Aesprite! It's also heavily inspired by retro kart racers from the 90's and 2000's, if that's not already obvious enough.
