Super Indie Karts

This is the kind of game that has a lot going for it on paper, but falls short for awkward reasons. The gameplay is fast and the art design and music is nice to look at. The variety of roster, being their main appeal offers a good selection and I respect them for that. The single player mission mode is also a nice bonus as its rare for a kart game to have something like that. Even though it presents itself as colorful and vibrant, the gameplay is also a large mess in a lot of areas. For starters, its been in early access for more than 10 years and its STILL barely complete. The cups seem to be grouped up based on style rather than difficulty (There are four cups with all their tracks having the same art style, as if those cups were meant to be placeholders). Sure there are twice as many cups than your average Mario Kart, but these tracks feel less... grounded for lack of a better term and in more ways than one. Gameplay wise, the karts feels floaty and when combined with how fast you're going and the drifting being more wider than you think, most of the time you end crashing into the wall. Speed boosts stack and crashing into hazards makes you lose all of it, which makes the over…

Mario Kart on the SNES if it was made by a bunch of incompetents who disliked good maps, loved terrible items, and hated being able to control your cart, who then spent proudly ten years (10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years!) procrastinating in early access only adding "indie-characters" instead of making a good game. Like, how can a game that has been in early access for ten years have such a infuriating bug (and general ass design decisions) like putting you (first place) in third when you get passed by second place; it didn't put me in fourth place when I was overtaken by another racer after that, so it clearly thinks someone who is far behind you is in front of you when it does this. And this happens on the first cup, the vanilla tutorial easy babymode beginner cup if you will. If it is a map issue, what have they been doing that decade? Or how about how adding an item that can not only lock off the whole lane for a long time (and doesn't go away when ran into either), but also lasts so long that you can literally lap the map and hit it before it goes away! The Teslagrad map (The second map of the first cup) is also the most unfun racing map I have ever experienced, the runbow one is also unbe…

I'm not mad, I[m just very disappointed. I think this may be one of the best examples of "feature creep" I have ever seen in a smaller indie game project. People have talked about wanting improvements to track design, controller support, and driving physics, but it seems like that's just never gonna happen. Instead the dev has added some new tracks and characters, some other stuff too? That's... cool... but those aren't fixes for the game's core. I really liked this game back in like 2017 when I first got really really into indie games, it was cool! Not perfect, but of course It was still being worked on I was gonna be fair. I forgot about it around maybe 2022 and recently revisited it and... nothing's really been improved. There's new stuff, for sure, but the visual clutter, hard to grab items, attacks that don't quite work well, awkward slippery physics, messy controller setups are exactly how they were all those years ago, when I first got the game. Like, dude, it's been 10 years. I think it's time to really focus on the core issues people are complaining about and fix this game up. Even if you're very busy irl, which I completely understand, it's time to really tighten up th…

Really fun and nostalgic i hope soon they add achivments!

[h1]My Early Access Review of S.I.K.[/h1] [h2]Note to dev[/h2] Hi, dev if your reading this I really hope you add A Hat in Time characters to the game that would be sick please and thank you! [h3]Early Access Critiques[/h3] As of right now I know the dev has already been brought to concern of most issues I have noticed personally already in the discussions, but I do still have just a few concerns of my own I was hoping to bring up here that hopefully will help with making this game even better. [h3]Drifting[/h3] First off, I feel like the hop to drift mechanic kinda feels a bit off to me mainly in the sense that you do a full jump everytime you want to drift in any direction. What can help make this feel less awkward could be to make it that tapping the drift button makes you do a full height jump, and holding only does half the height, doing this means it should take less time to enter a drift giving players more agency over their drifts. This has been my biggest issue with this game so far, I just find that drifitng feels way too delayed it makes it hard to calculate the direction I want to go without easily over shooting or under shooting which happens really often in high…

Really charming, fun, and ambitious kart racer. Tracks meant to emulate the SNES, N64, and GBA Mario Kart games are present, but all three selections of tracks do things differently than those games that really help this game to stand on its own. I'm really glad I supported this game, and hope the developers are able to see it through to the end. Fantastic job. :) CHARACTERS WISHLIST Red- Everhood Guy Spelunky- Spelunky Any rep- Castle Crashers Any rep- Enter the Gungeon Orcane- Rivals of Aether Yooka-Laylee - Yooka-Laylee
