Description
Help KarBOOM get on Steam! Find out more through the "About" links.
Competitive, skill-based local multiplayer against your friends/family/enemies and/or bots. Be the last kar standing in the sandstorm showdown, or battle under a time limit, score limit, or life limit in klassic!
Mix things up with mutators - weak spot, slow motion, battle ball and hold the flag!
How to Play
Drive forward and back with UP and DOWN, steer with LEFT and RIGHT, handbrake with SPACE or UP+DOWN, and charge your BOOST with SHIFT. Careful, though - charge your boost for too long and you'll explode!
Use one or more gamepads if you can - just wiggle your stick at any point in any menu and you'll see an on-screen cursor for that gamepad. If not, reconnect your gamepad - you might need to refresh the page with the gamepad already connected.

Updated to KarBOOM Demo 7:
=Demo 7=
Features:
- Trainer mutator added, and is on by default until players switch it off. This should make things easier for new players.
- Tie-breakers โ in every mode except Showdown, a tie no longer results in a complete rematch:
+ Time limit: Overtime means the game continues until someoneโs winning.
+ Score limit: The score target is incremented and the first to reach that new score wins.
+ Life limit: The kars that somehow managed to lose their last life simultaneously at the end are given another life.
- New option to quickly toggle between bots and humans in the player screen. Use your gamepad to switch to a gamepad player, or the mouse to switch to a keyboard player. Either one will switch a human to a bot.
Tweaks:
- When playing with the Flag in Life Limit, kars no longer lose lives every time the flag changes hands โ the flag sticks with its regular cycle of deducting lives (still adjusted according to the size of the kar carrying it).
- Kar tumbling physics tweaked to improve kar recovery.
- The boost meter now follows the kar itself rather than sitting on the ground below the kar โ this is important for kars over empty space to be able to see how much boost they have.
- Balls now have just a little bit more bounce when hitting the ground.
- Bots have been significantly improved.
- New shadow system handles uneven ground better.
- Adding gamepad players with an already-assigned gamepad now adds bots instead of keyboard players.
- Final scores are now shown on the victory screen.
- New title cards celebrating the winner, notifying of the game mode or tie breakers, and so on.

Great game! 5/5 and favorited
Much appreciated :) I've updated it so the AI is smarter and you can play multiple rounds before the winner is decided.

Oh, and don't forget the Stamina mutator. Once activated, you can set how much HP each car has
