A kart race for tiny round critters. Six tracks, split routes, ramps, item boxes and no guard rails. Every bump, fall and win shows on their faces.
←→ switch lane · ↑ jump, or trick in the air · Space use item · on a phone: swipe, double-tap for item
One cup runs through all six: two laps each, then a trapdoor opens on the final lap and the whole field drops onto the next track. Tracks have three, four or five lanes, one is a figure eight with a bridge, and each look has its own theme tune.
Six round little racers, each with their own silhouette and a badge on their back, since that's the side you see most. Their faces react to everything that happens on the track, and that's what makes the clips funny.
Kart racing with balls instead of karts. Ignite is gone: items cover that job now, and coins give a little extra top speed, like in Mario Kart.
Where things stand after this round.
DecidedCritters. Next step is proper character design: final shapes, names and a few signature animations each.
DecidedEmber Arcade, Neon Night, Candy Rush, one per map. More maps can come later as new cups.
Your callThe tunes here are written in code, so they play in any browser. For produced tracks, ElevenLabs needs a paid plan (the music tool isn't on the free plan), or we brief a composer.
RecommendedGodot. Free, light, good on phones, and quick to prototype in. This browser version is for testing ideas, not for shipping.
RecommendedGhost races and bots first, real-time races once people keep coming back.
Put this in front of 10–20 people in the target group and watch where they laugh. Then a Godot prototype of one map with real steering and drifting.
