The game has been updated with a new content and gameplay update! A new item! A new mutator! Improved doodad collisions! And more! Patch notes can be found at the end of this post.

New Item: Blast Shocker

The Professor is back from his vacation and has completed his latest invention: the Blast Shocker!

Using a finely tuned mix of scrapped reality-bending inventions, a very powerful car horn and a shock-ton of overloaded capacitors (bristling with magic smoke!) the Blast Shocker is capable of delivering a devastating electric blast wave on which rides an army of short-lived nanobots designed to attack the drivetrain of vehicles to temporarily reduce their acceleration and speed! Nasty!

New Mutator: Big Items

To celebrate the big reval of his latest invention the Professor has also come up with a new mutator: Big Items! As the name suggests it makes all items in the game big! Like, really big!

On the horizon

- Look forward to even more item(s) and mutators being added in future updates!
- Work has finally begun for real on achievements, stats and leaderboards! Stay tuned for more info!

Patch notes 2023-04-21

New Item: Blast Shocker
The Blast Shocker explodes into an electrical nanobot infused shockwave that causes all vehicles caught in the blast to spin out and have their speed temporarily reduced.

• Effect: Vehicle max speed and acceleration reduced by 65%.
  
• Duration: 10 seconds +/- up to 1 seconds based on player's race rank when struck. Meaning the leader of the race is affected for 11 seconds and the player in last place is affected for 9 seconds and the all other racers are affected for between 11 to 9 seconds based on their race rank.
  

Mutators

• NEW! Big Items: Increases the size and effect of all items in the game. To unlock it either beat Crankshaft Cup in 1 Star Mirror Mode or accumulate 176 human racer finishes* or more.
  *1 human racer finish equals 1 human player finishing a race regardless of game mode and settings, so completing a local multiplayer race with e.g. 5 human players counts as 5 finishes which greatly reduces the number of played races needed to unlock stuff this way.
  
• Low Gravity: Reduces gravity a tiny bit more than before.
  

General gameplay

• Improved collisions for loose track-doodads such as tires, haybales, oil barrels and sign posts.
  
• Many track doodads (most notably sign posts) which were previously static are now dynamic and can be collided with.
  

Tracks

• Twin Oasis: Improved race position tracking.
  
• Petal Ponds: Added actual petals to the ponds.
  
• Suburbia: Fixed an issue where the wooden automatic boost ramp would sometimes propell you in undesired ways.
  
• Seagull Tropics: Fixed an issue where vehicles would sometimes get stuck in the barrel cannon.
  
• Boost City: Fixed an issue with the peace-keeping helicopter where it sometimes wouldn't lift off as intended.
  
• The Manufactury: Re-instated flywheel and piston hazards which were erroneously disabled a few patches ago.
  
• Various Tracks: Added more doodads. Moved doodads around. Adjusted AI-pathing. Adjusted barriers and out of bounds areas.
  

Keep in mind that the game is still in development and bugs and other oddities may be present.
