An old school Kart racing game with a few twists, phase 2

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
