Its finally here! Critter Kart is now available for purchase on Steam. Ive been working on this game for many years as a hobby and am extremely excited to finally release it to the world. I sincerely hope that you enjoy playing it and maybe invite your friends to play some splitscreen in it too. While today is quite a big day for me and I am proud of the game I am releasing, I also love to tinker with it as a hobby and have more improvements planned for it. While Im not going to commit to additional content at this time, I wont rule it out either. In the coming weeks/months ahead there are a few Quality of Life improvements that Id like to bring to the game, but simply werent quite ready for release.
Planned Quality of Life updates:
[olist]
Updates to the in-game graphics settings menu (exciting, I know)
Separate custom settings profiles for VR & desktop modes
Removal of graphics settings with little impact on actual in-game graphics
Addition of settings for shadow type & resolution (these settings can have a significant impact on performance)
Enable/Disable post-processing options
Enable/Disable planar water reflections
Custom input configuration for unknown controller devices
Allow players to configure any controller they want and save a configuration file for that controller which can be shared with other players.
Updates to the tutorial course & bringing the tutorial to non-VR players as well
[/olist]
Of course, Ill also be watching community feedback closely, so be sure to let me know what features youd like or bugs I need to fix. Thanks for all your support!

Critter Kart is an action-filled racing game featuring a variety of fluffy critters. Players can earn pointstreak rewards as they race to gain access to more powerful abilities. Players may race alone, or with up to three other friends in splitscreen matches.
Critter Kart currently features 5 unique locations, 11 playable characters, and 8 pointstreak rewards to add gameplay variety. Races can be customized to suit any session length or playstyle by giving players the freedom to choose the number of karts, laps, and the difficulty of their opponents.
While Critter Kart's explosive physics-driven gameplay allows players to blast opponents off the track and make them spiral through the air, options exist for players to ease motion sickness including: permanent kart armor which prevents enemies from sending the player flying, comfort blinders that ease in with movement, and a fully-static arcade mode that allows players to grab the virtual steering wheel without motion sickness.
