Note: Steam Achievements are not available in the Demo version of the game.

New Mutator: Retro Mode

Racing like its 1994! With the Retro Mode mutator you can play Super Gosu Cars like your grandparents would've done had the game been around when they were young; with pixels large enough to fill a very tiny thimble and none of them fancy schmancy doohickeys like dynamic camera tracking or such like. As if the game wasn't lo-fi enough already!?

On the horizon

Look forward to even more item(s), achievements and mutators being added in future updates!

Mutators

To unlock it either beat Crankshaft Cup in 2 Star Mirror Mode or higher, or accumulate 224 human racer finishes* or more. *1 human racer finish equals 1 human player finishing a race regardless of game mode and settings, so completing a local multiplayer race with e.g. 5 human players counts as 5 finishes which greatly reduces the number of played races needed to unlock stuff this way.

General gameplay

Items

  • Spiky Spinny: No longer clips through the vehicle of the player launching it as it launches.

  • Spiky Spinny: Travels slightly faster for a very brief time as it is launched.

Tracks

  • Petrol PlainsRemoved an eyesore-inducing road surface marking.
  • Petal PondsAdded bells (no whistles) outside some of the temples. Try hitting them for an achievement why don't ya!
  • Petal PondsAdded additional fencing to mitigate a bit of ye olde invisible barrier syndrome in some sections of the track.
  • SuburbiaFixed floating chimneys (if there'd been any!) and also covered their innards with proper soot instead of roof tiles.
  • The ManufacturyAdded one additional flywheel piston hazard!
  • Various TracksAdded some doodads. Moved some doodads around. Removed some doodads. Adjusted AI-pathfinding. Adjusted barriers and out of bounds areas.

Technical tidbits

  • Improved loading times between tracks.

  • Save files are now compressed to save space, time and bandwidth.

  • Slightly improved performance for some post-processing rendering effects.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where mutators would sometimes not load/unload correctly between races.

Keep in mind that the game is still in development meaning bugs and other oddities may be present and everything about the game is subject to change. If you encounter anything you don't like (or do like!) please let me know.
