Coming next year. Tubular!
Revealed at the Future Games Show tonight,Tray Racersis a game clearly derived from a dev accidentally doing a spoonerism in a meeting one time. This SEO nightmare is being developed by BitLoom, the team behind colourful yet somehow unsettling puzzle game Phogs, and it’s about racing down sand dunes on trays. As the trailer says, “the world ended… But the fun didn’t!”, and I guess winning a dune race would take your mind off the unending horror for a bit.
Tray Racers does actually look pretty cute, though, and though I’m always a bit wary of randomly generated racetracks it sounds like there could be some cool things in the mix. The Steam store page is selling “weird and wonderful vistas, hazards, creatures, and surprises from a mix of bizarre & beautiful post-apocalyptic biomes,” so while this is admittedly mostly sand-based there are also “bouncy cactus forests”, critters, buried cities, and “sustainable solarpunk settlements”. This is, in fairness, a lot more active than I would be after the end of the world.
