Inspired by Super Offroad and Mario Kart this top down battle racer has unique power ups, multiple play modes and up to 8 player multiplayer. You can desert race in Rusty Springs, play a futuristic soccer game in Soccer City, or battle it out at the Crude Ranch. Each one of these levels have their own trucks to unlock as well, the Romper for the Desert, the Slipstream for soccer and Mud Flap for farm battles. Choose your style and then customize!
After every game, the winner receives coins which they can spend to try and win new truck mods, including a pirate ship, a pig and more!
Use the mobile app to customize your trucks and as an additional controller over Wi-Fi, just type in the game code and go! You will never be without your custom truck, or a controller!
There are eight separate power-ups, the Electro Ball which is an electric ball and chain attached to the back of your truck, the Barrel Bomb which is exactly what it sounds like, Fire Balls that fly across the level and explode on impact, Mega Truck which supersizes your truck and allows you to run people over, the Dozer which will let you scoop an opponent up and flip them over, and the Oil Slick which will make you lose control and spin out.
We previously opened up the PC demo to all of the IndieDB community, and now we have opened it up and have both the PC game demo updated with feedback as well as the Android app available in the Google Play store. This means that you can control your truck with your phone, and you can have up to 7 of your friends (8 total) join you and play!
Check out the demo, try it out with your friends, and let us know what you think!
PC Demo: In8b.it
Android: Play.google.com
So we posted on our main site blog the reason for the lack of updates, but we went quiet on our IndieDB front. SORRY!
An update on our Greenlight and the lukewarm reception to date for an atypical PC game.
Tried the demo. :o)
Controls:
In the current Control scheme I miss a brake/reverse button(s).
I still think an optional control scheme with directional steering would be good. Hope it's still planned. (see Steam discussion)
I know it's already planned for the future: More game modes like "hold the flag", knockdown (from a roof or something). For inspiration regarding game modes check out "Mad Tracks" and KarBoom.
Keep up the good work! :o)
Thanks for the feedback and reference back to the Steam discussion. We are just about done with our Android Super Truckin' Garage app that will let you control the game with your Android phone. We will keep everyone update on that. After that release we will be working on alternative control schemes.
