This is actually not a bad game. For a kart racer. I’m not a fan of those TV shows but the racing is pretty fun and solid. Worth a try at least. Baron Cappuccino Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Aug 1, 2011 265 14 18 Member-Owner Steampunk Cafe, LLC Plainfield, CT #5 Baron Cappuccino, May 20, 2022 It is unashamedly Mario Kart, down to the added hang glider mechanics from later entries. Plays well though. After two races being forced to use Peter, a solo and traditional tutorial race, I picked Hank for race three and it was more of a weapon pickup arena free for all not too different than the old balloon popping arena mode from the SNES original, albeit without balloons- just a hit tally. Looks to have a whole lot of unlocking. We’ll see how it goes. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,239 881 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #6 squarezero, May 20, 2022 Mario Kart is a huge “inspiration,” but I’m really impressed by the level of polish and the quality of the gameplay. The animations are really great, with a lot subtle nods for fans of the show, and the VOs are done by the original actors. The main control scheme is virtual joystick based (with buttons for drifting and attacks) and it works surprisingly well. The tracks are not as wild as what you find on Mario Kart or Sonic Racing, but they are well designed and fun to drive. And the AI makes even the rookie cups challenging. Oh, and it seems to run around a steady 60 fps. Of all these properties, I’m only a fan of King of the Hill. But this has quickly become one of my favorite kart racers on iOS. macplash Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2014 2,604 1,053 113 Male 3D artist Munich, Germany #7 macplash, May 20, 2022 I wish I knew at least one of these TV shows so I could enjoy the game more. But as a racing game it’s really a lot of fun. Very polished. Controls are responsive and feels very natural. Looks like there’s a lot of content too. I love the amount of achievements (Gear Club should be ashamed with its lousy one). I’m definitely spending some time with this game. Worthy addition to Apple Arcade. Skall and squarezero like this. abcdaniel New Member Aug 23, 2022 3 1 3 #8 abcdaniel, Aug 23, 2022 I'm a long time lurker here. Thanks for all the posts and discussions that have helped me choose games on AA to play! I've been playing Warped Kart Racer with my kid, and it has been great fun, but a bit of a hassle to get into the same multiplayer session. "3-2-1 press!" and hoping to end up in the same race. Anyway, we noticed one of the cars having a Z mark, and both me and my kid made the connection to the Russian military vehicles in Ukraine. Have anyone else noticed this and made the connection? Since it is unlocked from Solar Opposites, which we haven't seen, is Z in any was connected to that series? We were really surprised to see the Z in the game. I've written about how we reacted here, if anyone would like to read, with screenshots: https://danper.medium.com/the-z-car-russian-war-propaganda-in-apple-arcade-and-warped-kart-racer-review-f59049b3a81b?source=friends_link&sk=5f22afe16fb359658d15c523ce593e19 Some of that text is political, mods feel free to remove the link if it violates any guidelines. I don't want to stir up anything. But I am genuinely puzzled by the Z, and I know people here at least are playing the game. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,239 881 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #9 squarezero, Aug 23, 2022 Last edited: Aug 23, 2022 I have yet to unlock that kart, but I’m pretty baffled by this. A quick Google search didn’t yield any obvious connection between Solar Opposites and a “Z” symbol — maybe a fan of the show can confirm? The developer Electric Square is British. Perhaps they’re working with a Russian subcontractor on the art and they missed this during QA? I would complain directly to Apple, including screenshots. abcdaniel New Member Aug 23, 2022 3 1 3 #10 abcdaniel, Aug 23, 2022 Thanks for looking into it! I'm asking around on some other forums too, if anyone knows the connection between Z and Solar Opposites, if any. I'm more interested in getting an answer than complaining and getting the Z removed. But it is super weird this being Apple and family friendly and safe and all that. I have played much worse games when it comes to all kinds of gore and provocative symbols, but being Apple Arcade, hmm? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,239 881 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #11 squarezero, Aug 23, 2022 Apple is not currently selling iPhones in Russia, so I don’t think this is intentional at all. Frankly, unless there’s a legitimate reason for the Z to be there, I think it would be appropriate to have to the cart removed from the game. Unfortunately, that’s the kind of political environment we’re in at the moment. abcdaniel New Member Aug 23, 2022 3 1 3 #12 abcdaniel, Aug 23, 2022 I wouldn't say it is intentional on the developer's part, but maybe a designer has snuck it in. Def not on Apple's part. Still looking into and asking about any connection between Z and Solar Opposites on reddit. I'm not sure I want the symbol removed from the game though. It has become the villain when we play and actually reminds us that there is a war in Ukraine. Like your reaction, I was completely baffled at first, still is, but not sure about removal. squarezero likes this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
