Speed around loops, dart through train crossings, drift around helter skelters, and unleash wacky weaponry in this modern take on classic top-down multiplayer racing games. The twist? You build the track.
The game puts a unique spin on classic top-down multiplayer racing by allowing players to build the racing track themselves using a variety of modular pieces. These include loops, seesaws, corkscrews, and even train crossings, enabling near-endless configuration possibilities. Racers can strategically place these track elements to both assist themselves and hinder their opponents, setting up traps and obstacles to gain the upper hand.
While track building is a core pillar of the experience, the racing gameplay is equally engaging. Up to four players compete to reach checkpoints and cross the finish line first, with the ability to utilize a range of wacky weapons and power-ups to sabotage their rivals. These include goo cannons, Tesla coils, and giant mallets, creating a delightfully chaotic combat racing experience.
One aspect that players particularly appreciate is the checkpoint system and respawning mechanics. When a racer falls off the track, they respawn at the nearest checkpoint, quickly rejoining the race and maintaining the frenetic pace of the gameplay. This prevents players from being completely eliminated, ensuring everyone can continue competing.
As players progress, they unlock new track pieces, hazards, and vehicles to expand the possibilities for their custom circuits. This sense of progression and the ability to experiment with different components keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging over extended play sessions.
Perhaps the biggest draw of the game is the sheer chaos and hilarity that ensues when playing with friends, either locally or online. The combination of dynamic track building, combat racing, and unpredictable outcomes leads to endless laughs and memorable moments, as players sabotage each other and witness absurd sequences of events unfold.
