http://myzerogear.com/Alright, so it's half geniune interest and love for this little game (i'm a beta tester) and half "well we wrote all the music in the game". But both are valid standpoints for plugging this piece here!
It's an Indie game, so only three guys working on this. And it's become extremely polished and near ready for release, it'll be released on Steam as well, and as soon as it is I will announce it here so I can play it with some EU players! Since the USA servers are painful to play on, sometimes.
Theres lots of game modes like tag, which you hold onto a tag arrow and it gives you points the longer you have it, but then itll randomly flip reverse and the person holding the arrow will want to get rid of it since it deducts points at quite a rate!
Racing, which is filled with lots of weaps and long tracks, this is a serious amount of fun since there is a weapon that can be used in all game modes called luvbot and another which is like a push away forcefield, so when you activate it it shoves people away from you. The luvbot is programmed to love and will chase you at high frightening speeds to catch you and love you. It's brilliant, and horrifying.
Hockey/Football: massive ball/puck in the middle, you gotta kart that bad boy into the other teams net, and throughout all this weapons are involved as well, it's brilliant.
Final game mode: Chute shoot: it's like pinball for karts, you all get full boost and a big run up into this pinball esque thing with holes, each hole is randomly set with points and you gotta get your kart into one to get the max amount of points, but the holes will keep changing everytime. (in fact it's more like that basketball game where you gotta get it into the furthest hole, it's awesome anyway)
There is also bots which know how to race, use weapons, and do all these game modes as well.
I don't have the best export of the menu theme on the
http://www.hyperduck.co.uk website atm but it's a decent quality export to give you an idea of the music. Any kart game that is gonna be made with a quirky style will be related to mario kart in some way, but this game is gonna be freemium, and has miles more potential than mario kart, with proper servers coming so you are not waiting, and graphics that are just great to look at.
The tune on the hyperduck webby is missing the high bass guitar mix which is kinda my favourite part of the tune, but i'll get it updated today, later on.
Anyway, check out the website and the links to their website and eagerly await it's release! I'll let you know when you can get your mits on it.
