Special SRC Championship
It’s Championship week!

You can compete by finding the championship in the Championship gamemode:
Of course this is a skill based event, so the more challenges you complete and faster times you set will reward higher points per-track. Higher difficulty tracks will net more points towards your total, remember to keep an eye on the leaderboards to track how everyone is doing!
Experimentation and track knowledge are key! There are no ghosts in championship mode so your secrets are safe, no one can steal your favourite shortcuts / strategy.
SRC has Officially Released!
SRC has Officially Released!
We’ve added partial controller support! Most of the game is now functional on a standard gamepad, you can now play through SRC’s core content from start to finish entirely with a controller. Character customisation is currently not supported by the gamepad and we are expecting a few minor bugs to be ironed out over the next few days.
“The Sprint Robot Championship” will be active for one week, after which special ingame rewards will be given to those on the podium. We’ll be releasing more details about this championship tomorrow, but the clock starts now for those who want a headstart. We’ve also wiped all leaderboards and settings for a clean start in 1.0
The bulk of this updates content comes in the form of 4 new Sprint mode tracks. After the conversion of circuit and eliminator mode last update, the sprint selection was looking a tad empty by comparison. Now there is a fairly even spread of content across all modes.
An easy introduction to sprint mode. Flicker weaves through an asteroid field connected by a series of portals, shortcuts are fairly obvious to help you get used to cutting the track.
A smooth winding descent through the caverns. Obsidian lines the track with danger at every turn, where safety rails are absent you'll only find molten lava and jagged cavern rock, careful where you step.
An unusual challenge centered around a single point with four axes. Gyroscope features a new take on the flexibility of SRC and must be completed in a specific order, keen eyed racers will find there are two layers to this challenge.
A hard new puzzle for the dexterous. Deceptively simple yet extremely punishing, Debris is a true challenge designed to test your knowledge and dexterity.

Update 0.9 - Anniversary
We're Celebrating One Year of SRC on Steam!
We're bringing alot of changes in this update to address some of the long running issues and bugs in SRC, while also introducing a slick new Championship UI and alternate modes for Circuit and Eliminator tracks! Alongside some quality of life additions and network lobby changes.
First of all the Championship UI, this is the first stage of improving the confusing interface that was Championship selection. We've streamlined everything into a single row of tiered progression, and introduced all the new tracks into Championship mode. The final stage will see improvements to Championship UI during and after races in the next Update.
We've taken every Circuit and Eliminator track, made a few balance tweaks and made them playable in either mode. Essentially doubling the amount of tracks in SRC. Some tracks have even seen whole new sections added or tweaked for compatibility with the new modes.
Lastly network functionality has been changed, in the past it was hard to lobby up with players and stay together between races. Not only can you now select the next track from the end game screen, you can also invite any visible online players to a game through the social tab. Don't worry, those who want to play alone can set network privacy to prevent any unwanted invites.
For those who do want to make the most of the new network changes, head over to our discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/d6MaRCb
