In March, Int13, a French mobile game developer, posted a preview video of their upcoming Crazy Kart 2 racing game for the iPhone. The Youtube video shows off their early efforts in porting to the iPhone with the official SDK. The final version of the game is due for a July release with the following features:
– 320 * 320 pixels playing area
– Touch controls with a virtual steering wheel
– 3 vehicle classes (karts, motorbikes, hovercrafts)
– 6 characters with different vehicles
– Downloadable content (new vehicles, new tracks)
– Wifi online multiplayer with match making and up to four simultaneous players
The developer states that the game runs at 60 frames per second and that they have plans for a full 3D accelerated sequel to the game in the future.
Sounds a lot like supaplex, I miss that game.
Thanks for your review! its nice to get feedback. In regards to the controls, you dont need to go back on youself then change direction. Simply moving MORE in the new direction than you moved first time is enough.
IE, if you start at the center of the screen and swipe down 1cm, to move right instead of down you just swipe right 2cm.
Its kinda hard to explain though, try it.
Sound has now been added, along with bug fixes and new levels. The Graphics are being improved and it will all be updated as soon as Apple push the updates through the store.
@Pyrofer thanks for the clarification. that does seem a bit easier, though still prone to error. the documentation should be clarified as both blake and I read it to mean what I wrote. I look forward to the next version.
I have updated recently and would appreciate your views on the newer version.
