The "Thunderbolt" update is live!

Hello everybody! It's a good time for an update, just in synchrony with the Black Friday sale. A new track, a new character, and lots of tiny fixes!


Thunder Heights is a fast, adrenaline-pumping track! Suspended in the air, in the middle of an electric storm... oh, and there's a huge tornado up there, too.
It is temporarily using the battle mode music theme, but a dedicated one is in the works. Sorry for this small delay!


Mao the chef is a mixed bag! He gets two ways of placing obstacles behind, in the form of landmines and his signature Fire Trail, which doubles as a speed boost!

Without ado, here's the full patch notes:

  • Added a new circuit: Thunder Heights
  • Added a new character: Mao
  • Added shockwave effect when using boost pads
  • Changed boost sound effect
  • Changed Moona's fireballs sound effect
  • Improved music in Pawn's Road and The Bowl tracks
  • Tweaked acceleration to be easier accelerate from lower speeds
  • Roam mode now has music
  • Added a check to prevent "Double boost" from ramps with several booster pads besides each other
  • Fixed bug that prevented from changing music, sound volume and brightness as a result of the new options menu layout
  • Fixed bug that prevented Moona to emit step sounds
  • Fixed bug that made jumping off ramps have inconsistent results


I'm planning on adding another character, plus a few new interesting features, in the next update. As always, thank you and have lots of fun!

Meet Mao!



Here's another bit of an advance for the next update: the new character Mao, world famous chef! He's a bit uppity and overly proud, approach with caution.

I'm making a bunch of small tweaks and fixes too, so it's going to be a much bigger update than it may look. As always, if you have any idea you want to share, feel free to do so, as any input is welcome!

Thanks and have fun!

Next update preview: Thunder Heights!



Hello everybody! How are you? Over here I'm working hard on the next game update, featuring a new circuit: Thunder Heights! I'm working in adding two new characters too, and there will be, as always, tons of small fixes and reworkings.

For now, remember to give me your opinions and ideas, so we can make this game better together.

Thank you!
