Hello everyone, Here is a MASSIVE update of Slide, Animal Race! I tried to listen to all the feedback you gave me. I hope you'll like it! Main improvements:

• 4 new tracks (Ocre Canyon, The Wave, Boreal Whales, Smooth Dunes) (10 tracks total)
• 2 new characters (Raccoon & Eagle) (8 animals total)
• 12 concurrents on each track
• Relooking of minimaps icons
• New & more understandable victory screen with race timings
• AI reworking for a better difficulty balance
• A new track for the demo (Diplodocus Desert instead of Dragons of Aurora)

Other improvements:

• Nice smoke FX in desert races
• Sound & music rebalancing
• Larger tracks for the difficult levels Pirate Cove & Dragons of Aurora
• Fix lots of bad respawn bugs
• Breakable lanterns in Lantern Festival
• Readability improvements: black outline on animals, remove useless random FX, rework assets positioning on some tracks
• Better gravity and orientation management during jumps
• Nicer animal selection screen
• Improvement of some animal models
• Thin black line to separate each player subscreen
• Slight gameplay adjustment on slowing grass, bombs & lightning
• Polish on some feedback (slowing grass, lightning & speeder)
• Many fixes & optimisations

Of course, it's not finished, I plan to add more content in the future (tracks, animals, maybe game modes...). But for now, the price stays the same! If you like all this, don't hesitate to leave a review on the store, it helps a lot! Peace! A few pictures of the new tracks/characters/screens:

Play quick & fun races with your friends. Ride cute animals through dreamy tracks and use bonuses to outrun the horde! Master the dive to avoid obstacles and gain boosts, and explore environments to find hidden shortcuts.

Or just take a tour and enjoy the view, while listening to the sympho-ethnic soundtrack. That's up to you.

Multiplayer

Play up to 8 players in local splitscreen! Steam "Remote Play Together" is supported. The game is family friendly and offers some assistance for younger players or beginners. However, to fully master the game, you'll have to take advantage of all the controls the game offers. Easy to get, hard to master!

Dive to Boost

At any time you can choose to dive under the track; this makes you drift but you gain boosts afterwards. The trick is, diving can also be done in a straight line. Use it wisely to outrun your opponents! But will you be able to handle this super speed? Diving is also useful to avoid bad stuff on the track.

Ride Animals

Who has never dreamt of riding wildlife animals ? Now you can choose among 6 cute animals. All animals have the same stats, so it's only a matter of personal taste.

Bonus

Find bonuses along the way to boost, protect yourself, or clutter the way of other players... But be careful, every trap will stay there until the end of the race. So try not to punish yourself! It can quickly become a mess and the last lap is often full of surprises.

Dreamy Tracks

Tracks take place in oneiric worlds where nature is all around: clouds amongst auroras, snowy moutains, tropical islands or celtic lands... Some tracks are totally upside down, others are more peaceful and contemplative. All levels offer hidden shortcuts that you'll have to discover to gain precious seconds.
