Howdy arcade racers!

First of all, a big thanks to all of you who are playing Total Arcade Racing. An even bigger thanks goes out to the folks who have provided feedback, it's super important for us and the development of the game.

Price increase

When we launched the Early Access version, we said that the price would periodically increase with new releases. We're not at version 0.4.6 and we've added a bunch of stuff since the initial launch. Therefor the price will be increased to 5.99$ on Monday the 19th of October. If you haven't already grabbed a copy at 4.99$ then make sure that you do it now.

Latest updates

Since the last news post we've released 4 updates. Here are some of the highlights in the updates.

Mooaaare music tracks Although the original single music track for Total Arcade Racing was very catchy, it got pretty annoying after you've heard it 20 times in a row. So, we've added a bunch of new tracks making it a total of 6 tracks!

Train crossing in Endless mode Endless mode is a mode which needs a lot more work to become truly fun and challenging. A big step in this direction is the addition of a train crossing.

Time required for 3 stars Several people have asked us what times is required to get 3 stars on various courses. We don't mind you asking but to be fair to everyone else we've added it to the UI.

Improved graphics and variation We've added more details to each course to make it more interesting. This was also implemented in Endless mode.

Keep the feedback coming either through the Steam forums or drop by our Discord Server to have a chat with us and the community.
