Tray Racers! is coming in 2023 and you will be able to play for free with an optional supporter’s pack that unlocks bonus style options. You might be wondering why we are making it free? Does free really mean free? Don’t worry we haven’t signed a deal with the business devil! 👿💼
Tray Racers! is free because we want it to be easy for groups of friends to pick up the game and have a fun time. We started development during the first lockdown while playing a lot of other online games together. We always found it easier to get a group together if a game was free and quick to jump into.
So what is the supporter’s pack? We don’t want lots of microtransactions and ads, it will be a single purchase that helps support the game and unlocks some extra customisation options for your character in Tray Racers! There will be lots of style options available for free and we want to help players find a style that represents them without paying. ✨
There are a bunch of other things we picked up on while playing online games with our friends that we have tried to incorporate into Tray Racers! There is a quick How to Play screen as well as a more in depth tutorial so that you can get up to speed easily before your first race. Joining races is easy with a short room code you can share.
Also we noticed in online multiplayer games we spent a lot of time not actually ‘playing’ the main game, just hanging out in the lobby or waiting for someone to join. So we poured a lot of love into the camp that you hang out in between tray races. You can jump around, change your style and jam on your instrument. If you wanted you could ignore the races and just party in the camp! 🎶
In summary, we want it to be easy for you to play with friends! So when it comes out in 2023, Tray Racers! will be free alongside a paid supporter’s pack that unlocks bonus style options. No microtransactions or ads either. For more updates you can wishlist the game and follow us on Twitter and TikTok! 👇
