Karma Riot is a multiplayer Kart Racing game heavily inspired by Super Mario Kart for the SNES. I spent the last quarter of 2009 working on a prototype for the game, which can be found here: Karma Riot phase 1.

The phase 1 page has a description of the game’s design intentions so I’ll just briefly summarize here. Karma Riot is like Mario Kart in that every player has a chance to catch up, but instead of doing so via random gifts, they do so using simple skill-based maneuvers. There are no random items in Karma Riot.

The game requires a 360 controller for each player. There is a capable AI driver as well. The controls are:

• Right Trigger: Gas
• Left Trigger: Brake
• Left Thumbstick: Steer
• A: Shield
• X: Bump Left
• B: Bump Right
• Y: Fireball

Requirements:

• One or more Wired Xbox 360 controllers
• Shader Model 2.0+ capable graphics hardware
• Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1
• .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
• DirectX 9.0c Redistributable
