Retro Kart Rush

If you loved Mario Kart 64, there's a very good chance you'll enjoy this. It's clear that this game was made with a lot of love by a solo dev who cares deeply about their work. I really enjoy playing this game.

This is the cutest little pixel-like 3d Kart Racer. Make no mistake - this game is old-school difficult on the higher options requiring a good sense of when and how to build bigger Drift-Turbos to win (plus dodging mid-road obstacles) - something I enjoyed much in hard-mode Mario Kart 64. If you found Super Indie Karts too easy - give this game a try and consider the other games from this developer. Extra bonus points for the great soundtrack. Not too bit-crunchy yet smooth on the instruments.

At $3 or less, this game is priced perfectly. It doesn't do anything super innovative, it just provides the smooth kart gameplay that basically any PC can run and at a low price pretty much anyone can pay. I do feel like the visuals are a little too flat and (so far at least) the hazards are a little too repetitive and same-y for my taste, but at the same time it feels like it's just trying to be something anyone can pick up and play regardless of specs and budget. And the gameplay is smooth and basically bug-free as far as I've played, so can I really complain fairly?
