Gameplay Video

How to play

The game is very simple. Most corners can be manuvered at full speed. All you have to do is avoid crashing into the walls and other cars. There is a health bar at the bottom of the screen indicatng your energy. If your energy reaches 0 you crash out of the race. You can retry 2 times before you get a game over.

Controller

All controls work for first player only. Wiimote, Gamecube controller, Classic, and Nunchuck can be used. When motion controls is enabled the wiimote held sideways with face buttons up is used to steer the ship. Other controllers use the dpad and/or the left analog stick.

Modding

Due to how the game stores assets and files, it is very easy to mod. Music is stored as MP3 files (64kbps), located in assets/bgm. Sound effects can also be changed by replacing them with properly encoded .snd files. Image files are stored under images/, which can be changed with properly sized 32bit PNG files. OBj Models are stored in the model/ folder.
