Nightmare Kart

Will there be a version for 32-bit systems?

This game is fantastic!

Fun races, rewarding battles, great music, good feel, good weapons, cool characters, nice references, full cutscenes, multiple match types, fast saves, new game + achievements and more!

Play this game, it's so much fun whether you love Souls or Kart games, but even if you just love one of those, it's a blast!

I absolutely LOVE this game. I grew up with the original Playstation and the Twisted Metal Series and have loved car combat games ever since. This game has a beautiful aesthetic and was so worth waiting for. Thank you LWMedia! Everything is very well done and I've been really enjoying it. So far I have 96 minutes on it and I played it for the first time on my Twitch stream yesterday.  The only issue I had was my brain for some reason fell into ps1 mode and I didn't comprehend that I shoot behind and beside me like that of ps2 games. (That's how convincing this is) Even down to the UI is just beautiful. Below is the timestamped vod of me playing it. You can jump forward to when I finally figured out what I was doing for the Gregory fight at 2:58:36 if you want to skip me getting used to the game. I'd also like to note that the variation in game modes reminds me of WWE Crush Hour on PS2 (I mean this is the best way possible to represent variety and fun since most people didn't like that game but I did)

Game was short but an absolute BOMB! Especially the vast amount of graphics options too. This game was super fun to play especially since you get more and more new game+ modes.

will yall have a discord for bloodborne PSX update?

Masterpiece

bloodborn but its fun 

Incredibly funny, I love it. This is what gaming should be. 

Dark souls kart when?

What a great game. Bloodborne plus Mario Kart, what a combo. I have a short write-up here talking about my love for this game!

Love this game! Reminds me of playing Nightmare Creatures on PS1 mixed with Mario Kart...so you're scratching my nostalgic itch (what what?) so good!!

I haven't had this much fun with a kart racer since mario kart! You literally made my day with this. I hope you enjoy the video.

Very good game

Great job

honestly i have been playing alot of indie games here on itch.io  and so i wan not expecting a full  blown gaming experience, what i assumed was going to be a 30 minute concept or school project became a game i have sunk hours into now and i look forward to its development, honestly my current favorite game i have found here on itch.io and wish you all the best in your endeavors! to anyone reading , i beg you to check it out and throw a few USD towards it to help fund!

amazing game, looks beautiful. very happy to see a ps1 style game actually supporting low resolutions for once! lol

Game was short but an absolute BOMB! Especially the vast amount of graphics options too. This game was super fun to play especially since you get more and more new game+ modes. Spoilers alert!








Refuse at the end.

Scary Mario kart 

u did a awsome job such a blast to play love how creative u got with the boss battles

Hi, will it be available for Ouya in the future?

Hi,will it be available for Phone in the future?

Hi this amazing

can you ask a few questions ?

What engine did you use

how did the idea come to mind 

Wow only…

a month late, whoopsies?

Here come little-fish-chewing me trying to tackle this multi-year wait of a legally-distinct full karting product of a game, cheers.

(Note: Most of this is based on the campaign, version 1.09, with some extra bugs noticed through Free Play.
The latter part of this review might seem a bit downer-y or nitpicky, I just wanted to balance off the endless praise with something useful.)

First of all, victory lap for everybody involved, the bloody amount of effort this took – from getting the graphics so right and maintaining accessibility, to the actual programming aspect of it, and the logistics of ‘getting everything to work™’, and finally the game design: the always-fresh level design, the excellent sound design emphasizing each action to a T, and tuning the controls to be understandable and flexible – must have been excruciating, and getting it out at all requires extreme talent and experience.

Second, blood champagne for the VAs, great characterizing and emphatic work all around and everybody sounds appropriately diseased for the environment.

Third is a dozen good gold medals for the audio department (again), not only are the SFXs punctuated, but the music is surprisingly energetic and full of life, incredibly bloodpumping OST overall.

There’s only so many times I can sing praises, so let me hum something a bit more practical.

The AI of the first couple races (and battles but to a lesser extent) are quite weak, and don’t actively compete with you, once you’ve gotten past them, the only thing that can even slightly mess you up is the Galaxy powerup (with enough distance, this isn’t a problem).

Some of the karts as well as melee weapons feel somewhat redundant, I get the purpose of some are heavy tradeoffs but you can mostly do pretty well with your kart and possibly Nicholas’ birdcage.

Of the birdcage, the Mansion is truly my least favorite, not necessarily because it’s different, Nick just felt annoying, “like c’mon man let me kill you real fast please™”, it was easily the hardest to ace (with the exception of the final FFA, which (seems to have) counted the outro and credit scroll as playtime).

There are also a few design hiccups: it’s tricky to aim backwards on keyboard, there’s no kill feedback (who knows, that killfeed might’ve been coincidental), some UI is hard to see on dark BGs and skyboxes, the tutorial missed (I say this because the tutorial explains a lot) some concepts, mostly nitpicks.

Bug/Issues Report:
-Sometimes when the Insight is knocked out of your hands, you will still ‘have’ it, and can throw it, despite it being out and about, other people can pick up the insight. -Miralodian courtyard is cheesy, just run around in an infinity pattern, taking the ramps, then taking the boost ramps, the AI will never catch you. -Initial weapons do not get restored if you lose the insight, more of a ‘nice option’ thing. -Voice gets set to 1 on NG+, don’t know if it happens the other way around, also may switch around? -Respawned once with the insight in the forest, weird. -Sometimes, possibly if you receive powerup reloads too quickly, you’ll be unable to use the powerup and the reload symbol and highlight will remain. -Finally, that credits screen is very nice but if I’m not acquainted with everybody’s work, I don’t know who did what.


Sorry again that the review seems so negative at the end.
I wanna make this absolutely clear, YOU HUNTED.
