*Update v0.55* - Oct 28th 2016 - Single Race While the fourth Indie Cup is being finished up I figured I'd throw out an update for you with all of the other improvements that have been added since the last update. There's a heap that has changed, but here's the highlights:

New Game Mode! Added "Single Race" mode so you can play your favourite track (or track you need practice on) against the CPU whenever you like
added steering wheel resistance to give the kart more weight, this gives a huge improvement to the feel of the game making the kart feel a lot less slippy
increased tyre friction from 0.45 to 1.0, less slippy more grippy!
polished up the title screen and menu a bit
the characters now spin into their winning animation when selected on the menu
cleaned up some more character avatars and spritesheets
added a (disabled) SplitscreenGP mode selector button (as it's definitely coming at some point!)
fixed character sprite being jittery with reverse cam
fixed the kart sprite looking like the kart is drifting when turning at fullest without drifting
lots of little bits of polish here there and everywhere!

It's great getting another game mode onto the menu, but the best addition in my eyes is the work done towards making the karts feel less slippy. There had been a few attempts at reducing the oft reported feeling of karting on ice, often in vain, but the most recent efforts from the last month have had such a strong impact that I don't think I'll ever hear of anyone having those icy feels again. Huzzah! Until next time!

Super Indie Karts is a classic retro '90s style karting game with a collection of Indiegame themed race tracks in both the 16-bit Super style and the 64-bit low poly Ultra style. With Time Trials, Grand Prix, Splitscreen GP, Quick Race, and Battle Modes there's plenty of ways to tackle the tracks!

The game was KickStarted late in 2014 and is aimed for completion in 2018/19. You don't have to wait until completion though as you can join in now with Early Access and the Super Indie Karts BETA builds! The BETA currently boasts over 30 characters, with 32 Super tracks, and the 4 recently added Ultra tracks, to play Single Player or 2/3/4 Player Splitscreen in Grand Prix mode (and in Mirror Mode) and in Time Trials. Battle Mode is currently locked out of the game as it's undergoing a serious overhaul. More play modes, characters, and features will be added as the Early Access weeks drift on by.

With one foot firmly in the past, witness authentic '90s hardware limitations such as:

Super Style

shockingly bad draw distance!
fast, incredibly small, almost claustrophobic, tracks!
trees and obstacles that pop up 5 yards in front of you!

Ultra Update

increased draw distance and track area size!
large open antigrav racetracks that corkscrew and loop-de-loop into the skies!
more cranked up than a joypad with a double wedgie!

Retro Sensibilities

World leading watermelon physics engine! (featuring Blast Processing!)
1992 style screen curvature and motion blur! (optional)
Indie Game crossovers you know and love, and some you don't yet know you love!

More info on the final game:
Play as some super Indie Game characters, coming to battle it out in some super Indie Game themed tracks! It might get a little bumpy out there as there are plenty of weapons on the track to spin you out: Melon Cannons, Exploding Pangapples, Melted Gelatos, Heat Seeking Loconuts, Giant Halloween Pumpkings, and 3 different strength Chilli Boosts!

Indie Crossovers so far include: - Runbow - Freedom Planet - Teslagrad - Whispering Willows - Fist Of Awesome - Read Only Memories - Lobodestroyo - Canabalt - Duck Game - So Many Me - Toto Temple Deluxe - Aegis Defenders - Adventures Of Pip - Shutshimi - Gentlemen Ricochet - A.R.E.S. - Holobunnies - Clive'N'Wrench - Cross Code - PowerDrive2000 - Guacamelee! - and many more to come! With over 40 tracks to race on, in 3 speed classes, plus mirror mode, there'll also be plenty of achievements and unlocks to keep you drifting and burning pixel rubber 'till the pixelated billboard sun goes down!
