When you *LOVE* SEGA RALLY too much... ... and you change your whole endless arcade game # **RALLY EVENT** EASY LEFT! Clear 400 stages with the RALLY GT & DELTA before October 12th! Drive between cones - or lose time - clear stages for Time Bonus... select GT for track-scoring, or DELTA for Checkpoint Bonuses! ARCADE SEASON continues Oct. 12
This was a really fun update. Reminded me of the jumps in F-Zero, where a well aimed jump could avoid a difficult part of the track. Nice job on continuing to add variety!
Thanks! It's funny you should mention F-Zero - we *LOVE* that series - we're going to be doing something with 'Future Racers' for sure. First up tho, Mario Kart # -travis
Arcade Season Week #6 Car! LET'SA GO! This weeks Dashy Crashy update should be live today: unlock the SUPER KART. We're often asked to add 'ITEMS' to Dashy Crashy, so it was fun to play around with an item system and also find a solution for 'drivers' - you may have noticed there are no drivers in Dashy Crashy! - emoji's seem to fit the bill and we even added a bunch of selectable 'drivers' in the garage too (tap to change/driver) ##
I have to say this is the first update that I dont like. A minor issue: the shadow for the cart is too thin, which gives the impression that the kart is floating above the track. For me, this is distracting. A major issue: Each lane change causes a speed up and perspective change. I understand that youre going for the feel of drifting turns in Mario Kart here, but its way too constant - to the point of making me dizzy. Im a completionist with this game, so Im sorry to say Im going to have to skip this one.
Thx! To select drivers, keep an eye out for Update 2.9.2 at some point this weekend (which *should* re-enable them) #
Heya! Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look at the shadow, we've made some tweaks to Update 2.9.2 which should drop over the weekend. Haven't changed the camera, it's using the same camera we used for Outrunner, Driiift Racer etc (to give a bit more weight to drifting). I wonder if the 'start hop' is adding 'noise' for you ##
Update 2.9 **KARTING EVENT** LETSA GO! Grab 777 items in the SUPER KART before October 26th to keep it! Drift between traffic and smash ITEM BOXES... TAP to use items: Boost, Rocket, Shield or Invincibility! Travis: Karting games are close to our hearts - I designed Wacky Races (Dreamcast) and SONIC & SEGA All-Stars Racing - and we're often asked to add 'ITEMS' to Dashy Crashy, so this update has been on our 'to do' list a while. The item system was simple enough, we selected emoji that best represents the core karting items: # Shoot (x3) ⚡️Super Boost (x3) #Shield (1 hit) #Invincibility (10s) Drivers on the other hand were more of a challenge! The SUPER KART needed an open cockpit, but as you may have noticed there are no drivers in Dashy Crashy. We tried a bunch of solutions such as 'bobble heads' and 'super deformed' racing helmets, before eventually striking on emoji's - which seems obvious for Dashy Crashy, right? We even added a bunch of selectable drivers in the garage too (tap the kart to change colour/driver) ## ARCADE SEASON continues Nov. 2 ##Halloween Update Oct. 26##
Hmmm. I just checked and youre right about the camera. It does react the same as outrunner. Maybe its just everything together. The animation on the lane change, the camera drop, the acceleration, watching for traffic while waiting for the item cycle to finish. Its a lot to deal with at once. Ive decided to keep at it (damn gotta catch em all obsession) and Im making a dent, and I LOVE the idea behind the items. PS, I see no way of adding a driver to the kart. I can change the color but thats it. Just an empty seat. Im on an iPhone se if it helps.
Kept at this, and once I got used to the car animation (I think it was the jump plus the perspective shift at the same time that got to me) it was a blast. I have to say, overall, this is easily my game of the year. When I'm not doing challenges, I'm trying to get gold with the other cars - all of which change up the game in some way. This is the perfect time suck for either a 30 second play, or a 30 minute play
Ha! Thanks for sticking with it, we've made a bunch of tweaks to the SUPER KART in Update 2.10 - hopefully out Friday - including popping the driver back in; in the end we had to remove the emoji drivers due to legal pressures, so it's now a happy Dumpling driving. Halloween this week too (if I can stop twiddling with this level...) ##
Taking a break from Arcade Season this week Heya, we're taking a break from ARCADE SEASON this week to run a **HALLOWEEN EVENT** - should begin shortly (tonight/tomorrow) #### Arcade Season continues Nov. 2 travis

**HALLOWE'EN EVENT** extended to Nov. 9 ## HAPPY HALLOWE'EN ## Hey folks, just to let you know we've extended Update 2.10's event until Nov. 9 - as we were a little late releasing the iOS ver. - go grab those candies! ## Catch that ghost! ## Arcade Season will resume on Nov. 9 with 'F(uture)-Racers'
Next Update, update Hey folks, we're hoping the next Dashy Crashy update will be Nov. 16, with 4 new vehicles to unlock. The delay is a combination of gameplay not coming together in time, the team fixing issues with indieSKY and Amazon versions, AND making SMASH TANKS!
