SRC now supports Offline play!
Elimination races are here and they’re fast and brutal. Eliminator races are all about racing until your reflexes give out, each track is a full circuit with very few checkpoints. Although this time checkpoints aren’t going to help you when you fly off the track, one hard crash and it’s all over. Harder still, a ‘slow and steady’ approach won’t help as your robot is rigged to explode after a short time, only reaching checkpoints can increase your timer and keep you in the race. This is about as ‘SRC’ as it gets, Infinite momentum meets infinite laps in 4 new high velocity tracks.
The easier introduction to Eliminator races.
Avalanche features wide slow sweeping bends and plenty of potential shortcuts. Careful where you tread, the new pitfall obstacle will slowly erode any safety nets you thought you had.
A brutal narrow track weaving between the mountains.
Sidewinder features one of our favourite sections we like to call the ‘Roulette wheel’, built up of obstacles you may already be familiar with, but certainly not easy when used like this.
An evolution of the double back design, now with massive shortcuts.
Breakneck features our largest shortcut to date, but it’s not always a good idea to take the bait unless you can handle it.
A new gravity defying challenge.
Scorpion has quickly become a new favourite for our team, blending light puzzle elements with a deceptively simple design.
SRC now supports Offline play! We’ve noticed many people having issues connecting or getting stuck loading, so we’ve pushed this up as soon as we could. For the time being offline will allow you to play Trails Mode by yourself, we’re working on converting as much of SRC as we can over to the offline system. So hold tight, offline players will see a steady stream of additions with every update.
As this is a new mode we’ve decided not to include any new Championships just yet, let us know how you’re finding the new Eliminator races. With that said let us know what you think about this update so far, or if you find bugs be sure to let us know over on discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/d6MaRCb
