Oh, this is a fantastic achievement. I've enjoyed seeing the GIFs of it on Twitter but missed that it actually released!

This is one of those Pico-8 games where the devs really went the extra mile when it came to polish and presentation. Even just the title screen is lovely. The split-screen multiplayer is quite impressive, even aesthetically.

Well, this is going right to my favorites, where I keep all the Pico-8 games that meet such a high standard of quality. I imagine the Christmas release date has everyone busy, so this hasn't yet gotten as much attention as it deserves, but hopefully that'll change!

I love Rodyle! He's pretty fun to play as, and I love the weapons he has.

I'm not very good but I'm getting Kirby Airride vibes from this which is awesome!

Impressive! Your pretty good. Do you have any cool events while playing this game to share? I like to hold accelerate to after passing the finish line so I can get a good rocket shot.

P#88565 2021-03-05 05:02

all gold on g. sigan and 5/8 characters! unfortunately the ones left are caramelo, lemo-8, and dolphish and they're all really really hard to get all gold on

P#88599 2021-03-05 22:22

its the oppiste for me, I am pretty good withh dolphish. I am only good with her as a racer.

P#88610 2021-03-06 08:44

How does Caramelo place so high in every friggin' race!? He's got bad stats, and bad weapons!

I just noticed how shield is more offensive than defensive. I've killed tons with it.

Got the other half done!

You know what that means! I beat the game! Wlep, second to do that. My life is now without a purpose. :I TB-System was easily the hardest to win all gold with. He sucked away all the sanity I had left.

I found a bug! the character designs are bugged.
The bug introduced in the new version of pico-8.

I don't understand this game. Really want to love it, the concept and mechanics are top notch, but I never score higher than 6th place after hours of trying. Changing characters doesn't help, AI seems to not suffer from the same problems I do - they never get stuck, or thrown far off track, and have perfect control over their ships at all times, recovering from hits faster than I can. Am I doing something wrong?

P#133607 2023-08-27 08:03

This is a really fun game!
