Dear Gobbo Games Community, We regret to announce that Gobbo Games is shutting down, and as part of this process, all our games will be permanently removed and retired from Steam. This was not an easy decision, but after much consideration, we have decided to close this chapter. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has supported and enjoyed our games over the years. Thank you for being part of the Gobbo Games journey. We appreciate you all. Sincerely, The Gobbo Games Team

We have released a small hotfix for the game. We discovered that there were some physics issues in the latest version of the game and have applied a quick hotfix to sort the issue out. Basically you bike would react a bit oddly on some of the maps when traversing over the terrain, this has now been resolved. Should you encounter issues with the game, please contact us here through the Discussions page or via our support email at support@gobbogames.co.za. Please also feel free to provide us with any feedback as we want to make the game the best game we possibly can.
