Hello all Polycar enthusiasts! Start your engines!

Introduction
Solo indie dev/publisher for Yooper Game Studios here, and I am excited to give you all the details for the Super Battle Polycars Steam Early Access Release!

The last couple months have been quite the world wind, many late nights spent gathering feedback from the community and implementing features and bug-fixes to give players itching for some vehicular destruction a place to scratch. Below lists the newest features, maps, and QOL improvements alongside existing gameplay elements to catch anyone up looking to drive onto the polygon road solo or with their friends!

A big thank you to all the support from players, streamers, influencers, content creators, and lovers of vehicular combat that has pushed the game across the Early Access finish line. Be sure to hop into our Discord channel to find other players, report bugs, leave feedback, talk about the game, or just to say hi!

Keep a look out for the Early Access Development Roadmap to be released shortly. A full PC and PS5 cross-play release is revving up for Q1 2025, stay tuned!

You can find additional details in our official game manual.

Polycars
Individual Polycars vary in total HP, top speed, acceleration, handling, and is equipped with 3 unique abilities and 1 ultimate ability to use in combat. There are 3 Polycars available upon Early Access release with more to come!

Roadster:

• The fastest Polycar with the highest acceleration. Abilities are meant to be used as escape tools or to out-range your opponents.
• Max Health: 75hp
• Agent Rifle: Fire out a lightning-fast light bullet that does low damage. It is good at range and can hit across large maps. Upgrades for this ability changes this weapon into a burst-fire.
• Purple Waste: Lobs blinding purple radioactive waste canisters onto the field. Enemies who run into them take a high amount of damage. Upgrading this ability fires out multiple canisters with each attack. Good for losing people who might want to chase you.
• Plasma: A slower moving bullet projectile that does radial damage. Upgrading this ability increases its effectiveness.
• Nightlight: (Ultimate) Triggers a large orbital flash bang, blinding all you happen to be looking in that direction. Does moderate radial damage to those trapped inside.

Muscle:

• A chunky alternative that has a slower top-speed and is harder to use. Abilities are slow but do heavy damage.
• Max Health: 100hp
• Rockets: Fire a slow-moving rocket that does high impact radial damage. Good for slowing down opponents that happen to get in the way. Upgrading this ability does more damage on impact.
• Cluster: Sends a cluster of 3 fireballs out the front of the vehicle for good close-range damage.
• Bomber: Lob out a heavy low-arching bomb that does good radial damage.
• Kinetic Strike: (Ultimate) Call down missiles from the sky onto the green marker placed on the ground in front of you. A high damage, but high cooldown intensive attack for clearing out a group.

Truck:

• The slowest Polycar with good acceleration. Works best when it can get close and personal to the action.
• Max Health: 120hp
• Slash: Unleash a close-range sweep attack that bounces your enemies up into the air. Upgrading this ability allows for longer sweep distance and damage.
• Grenade: Chuck high-arching grenades to take enemies by surprise. Upgrading this ability awards shorter cooldowns and greater number of grenades fired.
• Poison: Throw out a poison bomb that does tick damage to those caught inside driving through. Upgrading this ability awards longer poison cloud duration and tick damage.
• Barrier: (Ultimate) Used to block incoming attacks and push other Polycars around by spawning the barrier in front of your Truck grill.

• Smoke: Obscure your enemy's vision by throwing down a cloud of smoke, temporarily makes you go invisible.
