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

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?
