Indie developer NimbleBit has announced its "dyn-o-mite!!!" PC kart racer Zero Gear will arrive on January 12, with pre-orders granting a 25% discount and instant beta access.

Zero Gear can pre-ordered for $14.99 through Steam or direct from NimbleBit--who give a key to activate on Steam--or in a $30 four-pack available only from NimbleBit.

Zero Gear packs racing, tag and sports modes among others with up to eight players and kooky customisation--not forgetting an excellent "indie-ness" slider to add pixelation.

  • all of the weapons seem to fling you into the air. This would be super annoying, but most of the time they throw you forward, so you are at least progressing D:

    netcode killed me though. At first, a little lag meant you dropped through the game world into the nethervoid, before teleporting back onto the track somewhere. They fixed that I think, but last time I tried, lag meant that my control was screwed. That is to say, if I was turning and lag hit, my character would continue turning (even after I released the turn button) and I'd slam into a wall somewhere.

    I'm not sure what a game should do when communications are interrupted for a second or two. Maybe that just shouldn't happen (it's an easy fix right?)

    I did enjoy the game when ping was fine. Just wish the weapons were more.. something
