Star Racer is a new retro-inspired futuristic racing title from developer Whatnot Games. The F-Zero homage is out now on Steam, priced at $9.99, although early birds can enjoy a special 20% discount right now. In Star Racer, players will dash through the cosmos past their rivals, turn them to stardust to overtake their spot on the podium.
In a press statement, Whatnot Games said. “Throughout Early Access, players got a taste of high-speed mayhem with an intergalactic selection of vehicles and racers, racetracks, game modes, a killer live soundtrack, and the powerful course editor. But with the launch of Star Racer 1.0, the galactic race goes full-throttle.”
Key Features:
- Heart-Pounding Races: Engage in intense, high-speed battles across intergalactic racetracks. Drift, boost, fire, and soar your way to the front of the pack with cunning strategy and split-second reflexes! But beware the cosmic dangers that lie ahead. Only the most skilled racers will survive the chaos and claim victory.
- Concrete & Clouds: Leave the competition in the dust—both on the ground and in the skies! Experience high-octane action with gravity-defying glides and aerial combat. Blaze across pavement, soar through the stars, and make your rivals eat stardust.
- Track Editor: Unleash your creativity with a powerful, dynamic track editor. Build challenging circuits, share them with friends, and master the most daring designs. The race is yours to shape!
- Event Races: Think fast, adapt faster. Event Races turn traditional racing upside down with wild, unpredictable challenges. Dash across tracks consumed by lava, take a break with a game of intergalactic golf, or master precision-based “break the targets” trials. With fresh scenarios rotating in, no two races are ever the same—only the bold will survive the madness.
- Local Multiplayer: Grab up to three friends and dive into split-screen madness! With support for up to 4 players in local multiplayer, Star Racer turns every couch into a launchpad for wild, competitive fun.
- Featured Tracks by Grant Kirkhope: In addition to music from Mason Lieberman and Jules Conroy, legendary composer Grant Kirkhope brings his signature flair to the cosmos. Known for classics like Banjo-Kazooie, GoldenEye 007, and Mario + Rabbids, his signature sound fuels select tracks with epic energy.
