What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Super Indie Karts has been in Early Access development for several years after it was fully funded on Kickstarter. Early Access provides an opportunity to hear honest feedback about the game as it is refined, and give a chance to improve the game before the full release in 2025.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With 4 major tracks planned to be released in 2024, and the remaining 16 in 2025, Super Indie Karts will be ready to leave Early Access in 2025!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final game will have more Indie Game crossovers, more karts, more tracks, more play modes, more weapons, and more refinement.

There'll be 64 tracks, over 30 karts, SplitscreenGP, Battle Mania, Time Trials, Mirror Mode, and Mission Mania, in both flat SNES and 3D N64/Wii styles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The currently uploaded build already has the Grand Prix, SplitscreenGP, Battle Mania, Time Trials, Mirror Mode, and Mission Mania modes activated with 44 tracks to race in 4 speed classes, with over 30 karts, and a sackful of fruity weapons.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will have its price increased gradually as more sweet content is added and after leaving early access the game will be priced at 33% more than its current Early Access price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback can be left in the game's Discussions area, or sent via email to [email protected]”

About This Game

Super Indie Karts is a classic retro '90s style karting game featuring a large curation of Indiegame karts and Indiegame themed race tracks, in both the 16-bit flat Super style and the 64-bit low poly Ultra style. With Time Trials, Grand Prix, Splitscreen GP, Quick Race, and a few Battle Modes.. there's plenty of ways to tackle the tracks!



Indie Crossovers so far include: - Mission In Snowdriftland - Clive'N'Wrench - ToeJam & Earl: Back In The Groove - Burrito Bison - Mutant Mudds - Runbow - Freedom Planet - Teslagrad - Fist Of Awesome - Read Only Memories 2064 - Canabalt - Duck Game - Toto Temple Deluxe - Knightmare Tower - Aegis Defenders - Shutshimi - Cross Code - Guacamelee! - and many more to come! With over 44 tracks currently ready to race on, in 4 speed classes, plus mirror mode, there'll also be plenty of achievements and unlocks to keep you drifting and burning pixel rubber 'till the pixelated billboard sun goes down!

With one foot firmly in the past, witness authentic '90s hardware limitations such as:

Super Style
  • shockingly bad draw distance!
  • fast, incredibly small, almost claustrophobic, tracks!
  • trees and obstacles that pop up 5 yards in front of you!
Ultra Update
  • increased draw distance and track area size!
  • large open antigrav racetracks that corkscrew and loop-de-loop into the skies!
  • more cranked up than a joypad with a double wedgie!
Retro Sensibilities
  • World leading watermelon physics engine! (featuring Blast Processing!)
  • 1992 style screen curvature and motion blur! (optional)
  • Indie Game crossovers you know and love, and some you don't yet know you love!

More info on the final game:
Play as some super Indie Game characters, coming to battle it out in some super Indie Game themed tracks! It might get a little bumpy out there as there are plenty of weapons on the track to spin you out: Meloons, Exploding Pangapples, Slippy Gelatos, Heat Seeking Loconuts, Giant Halloween Pumpkings, Mutant Tomms, and 3 different strength Chilli Boosts!

The game was KickStarted late in 2014 and is aimed for completion in 202x. You don't have to wait until completion though as you can join in now with Early Access! The EA game currently boasts over 30 characters, with 32 Super tracks, 8 Ultra (64) tracks, and 4 recently added Advanced tracks, with 20 more tracks to come, to play Single Player or 2/3/4 Player Splitscreen in Grand Prix mode (and in Mirror Mode), in Time Trials, and 9 arenas in Battle Mania which recently went through a serious overhaul. More play modes, characters, and features will be added each month as the Early Access weeks drift on by.
