by

As an enthusiastic gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the nostalgia-infused racing game, Star Racer, is set to break free from Early Access and roar onto PCs via Steam on July 28, according to the developers at Whatnot Games!

Star Racer first launched in Early Access on March 8.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Strap yourself in for an exhilarating ride! The game Star Racer offers you the adrenaline rush of retro-style combat racing. Hurtle through cityscapes and dodge gravity with nail-biting aerial maneuvers to be the one who conquers—or outlasts—all other racers at the finish line.

Experience pulse-pounding contests on the cosmic racetrack, where every bend offers an opportunity to outwit your opponents! Reaching the end requires strategy, finesse, and plenty of courage. Manage your energy between acceleration and wellbeing, and find advantageous openings amidst the rivals. Merely driving well won’t secure the win. Knock out your adversaries with ground-looping attacks or annihilate them in space using full-scale aerial assaults!

On the track, it’s not just your competitors you’ll have to watch out for; hazards lurk around every corner that can catch you off guard in an instant. You’ll encounter slippery ice patches, scorching lava pits, and unpredictable roads that could easily unsettle even the most experienced racer. Danger also comes in the form of weapons – dodge enemy turrets tracking your every action, and be careful not to trigger explosive mines lying in wait for a touch. Make one mistake and you’ll disappear in a cloud of stardust.

In “Star Racer”, you can design and customize your own racing tracks using an extensive editor. You have full control over every detail to create challenging tracks for yourself or friends. Adjust the track’s road height, width, and turn angles for a thrilling experience. Add hazards from the library to increase the difficulty and make the concrete paths dangerous. The only boundary is your creativity!
