STORY

Amusement Land is a rundown, abandoned theme park taken over by sentient animatronic creatures. In order to save Amusement Land, you (a mascot of the park) have to beat them all in a race to induce ego death in their core processing units. Along the way, you'll race with other mascots to train for dueling those mechanical baddies as well as explore the theme park itself.

The game is designed for controller input, but it is playable with a keyboard!

  • Arrow Keys - Drive

  • Space - Use Item / Boost

  • Enter - Pause

  • Z - Hop / Drift

  • X - Accelerate

  • C - Brake

OTHER INFO

This game was made entirely using free and open source software: Godot, Krita, Blender, and Aesprite! It's also heavily inspired by retro kart racers from the 90's and 2000's, if that's not already obvious enough.
