Gear Shift Delirium

Set in a crumbling world where sci-fi, fantasy, and steampunk factions collide, Gear Shift Delirium is a splitscreen kart racer for 1-4 players. Take to the streets and race for glory against friends and foes alike! Use powerups to get an advantage, or sabotage your opponents. Take shortcuts and alternate routes, and adapt to your current position - but be warned, the other competitors will use the same tools against you.

Supports keyboard and Xbox/PlayStation controllers for local splitscreen play.

Version Notes:

• Unfortunately, the volume controls don't currently do anything. This is something we plan to revisit once our game submission has been marked.
• In splitscreen mode, only the last player to join will hear audio. This will also be revisited and hopefully fixed!
• There's currently no way to quit the race without finishing it. We apologise for trapping you in an 8-lap marathon but you kind of brought this upon yourself.
• The giant gear shortcut has a 90% chance of ending your chances of finishing the race >:)
• For the best experience, stick to the Default vehicle handling for now. The alternatives will be reworked, in time.
