New Game Update and More Winners

Top Down Racer · published 31 Aug 2018, 10:25 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everybody,

Two things to talk about: More winners and a new update.

We will have more winners!


Our total number of winners increased to 17 because more than 200 people played the game long enough to win 3 or more medals. Thank you all! :)
For more details about how the contest works and why we have that number of winners, please read these two older News:

  • News about the contest
  • News about more winners


And as you know, we may have more winners at the end of the contest. It depends on how many people play the game and will have 3 or more medals total. If you want to help spread the word, here are some links to share:

  • Steam Shop Page
  • Facebook
  • Twitter.


Thank you. :)

Remember: If we reach 300 players with 3 or more medals total then all winners of the full version of the game will get an additional surprise.

Todays Game Update

A bunch of changes were made to the game and released today. All changes are tested but nevertheless bugs and mistakes happen. So please let me know if you have any strange behaviour or an error in the game.

List of all changes:

  • Changed description in the Racing Mode (it led to confusion that you first win a bronze medal when you win a race against opponents. That is because you won against some not so fast opponents. If you race again the opponents will be faster and you win silver if you finish as the first. After silver your opponents will be really fast and you will get gold if you win a third time).
  • Russian language added – Many thanks to the translator: Nickolay Orekhov!
  • The game now should identify the language you set in the game settings/Steam and change automatically to your setting. Nevertheless there are still buttons in the main menu to change the language.
  • Screenshot function added – You may use the F12 key or whatever you defined in the Steam settings to make a screenshot.
  • Some small adjustments to text sizes.
  • Start button adjustments (it did not appear on some display resolutions).
  • Added shadows to the cars.
  • In Racing Mode and while racing the texts „Two Laps To Go“ and „One Lap To Go“ did not fade away correctly. That should be solved.
  • New Music added. There are different songs playing randomly.
  • Sounds and Music are seperated. You may turn on and off both independent of each other in the main menu.
  • Volume buttons added. You may change the volume of sounds and music as you wish. For both, sounds and music a volume bar was added to have the current volume setting visible.
  • Your sound and music settings will be saved and should be the same when you leave the game and enter it again the next time.
  • Short jingle added to the start screen.
  • Small adjustments to the graphics of the scroll buttons in the High Score menu.

Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend. :)
