My game Go Kart Island launches on Nintendo Switch today! I’ve loved Mario Kart since I was a kid in the early 90s so seeing my own kart racer launch on a Nintendo console is a bit surreal.
I started developing this game as a hobby in 2019, back when the thought of an open-world kart racer with a playable cow was a much more unique idea. Some big inspirations included Diddy Kong Racing and A Short Hike for the story mode, and the Forza Horizon series for the open-world nature.
The game features races, both classic and some with extra twists like having to collect items along the way, and time trials but also a variety of other event types. Chasing, escaping and a Crazy Taxi type event all await! Between the events there’s a whole island to explore.
Find coins, gems and smash the mayor's advertising boards as you take in the scenery from the mountain top, to the desert, to the jungle and everything else in between.
There’s a launch discount with 20% off so you can pick it up for $7.99 / €7.19 / £6.39 for the next couple of weeks!
Thanks!
