Hi everyone!
Thank you all so much for your kind words and well wishes. My Dad is home and recovering well :) It’s taken a couple of days, but I’m back into the swing of things, and have some pretty cool news:

MULTI-F**KING-PLAYER

That’s right. Everyone’s favourite player just got multi.

The new update to the game includes a VERY EARLY PROTOTYPE for a 2 Player mode. It’s so early. You have no idea. It’s basically in utero.

There’s lots of bugs and obviously needs some super balancing, but it gives a general idea of what it could look like….

…IF the Kickstarter is a success.

Just getting that working was a week of work, and I estimate it’ll be another month of exclusive development to have it across the whole final game.

So it’s works similarly to Sonic 2, where the Second Player is kinda overpowered, but the First Player is the focus of the camera, so hopefully that balances it a bit.

Player 2’s Hunger and Bike Damage are just equal to Player 1’s, so you can argue about what to spend money on in-between races.

I’d recommend playing with two controllers (or two keyboards?) since there’s no button remapping yet (I told you, it’s early). But if you really want to put yourself through it, the controls for Player 2 are:

UP and DOWN ARROWS - duh
CTRL - Boost
SHIFT - Shoot

Maybe not the best control layout, but It’ll have remapping eventually…

…IF the Kickstarter is a success.
