Total Arcade Racing

Total Arcade Racing is a fun 2D top-down arcade racing game where you zip around closed circuits. Play solo or with up to 8 friends on the same screen in various game modes.​ This game is a tribute to old school arcade racing games like Super Sprint, Slicks 'n' Slide and Super Cars.

[h1]Hi [b]arcade racers[/b]! [/h1] Sorry... its been slightly over 1 month since our last news update and that's a bit too long in our opinion. However, we've been super busy with the game and have added a lot of content (new course, new game mode and a long list of improvements). But first of all, we've changed studio name, say hello to... [h2]Pretty Fly Games[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37273838/ceecb249cdd74faabd0156aa1017b0e6dfdf8eca.jpg[/img] Long story short, our old studio name CasualGames.nu, was rather limiting and well plain old. So we wanted something that represents the games we work now, which are pretty fly :) [h2]Latest updates[/h2] Since the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/1264730/view/2932367519386256531]last news post [/url] we've released 8 updates. Here are some of the highlights in the updates. [b]New Course - Concrete Island[/b] To continue the Harbor course we've added a similar course but with a twist. There are fire posts and if you hit them, they'll start spraying water which might push you into the water.

The logo for Total Arcade Racing also received a face lift.

Don't be last.

We're now at version 0.6.0 and we've added a bunch of stuff since the last price increase in v0.4.6. Therefor the price will be increased to 6.99$ on Friday the 11th of December. If you haven't already grabbed a copy at 5.99$ then make sure that you do it now.
