The first update for Space Racer has hit the marketplace. The next time you play the game the patch will automatically install. Lot's of new features this time around including:
-3 new bonus tracks unlocked when all 12 main tracks are beaten.
-Switch between normal and hard difficulties in single player mode at the track select screen.
-When playing 2-player, the loser won't get bumped out after the first race when "Play All" is selected for the circuit.
-You can now pick the same ship to race with in 2-player mode.
-New trial version is a better representation of how the game plays.
-You'll see a congratulations screen after beating all twelve tracks.
Thanks to all who played the game and I hope these changes make the experience more enjoyable. I'll be working at break-neck speed on Old School Hero for the next few weeks and hope to get some new video up soon. I also have some blog ideas to write up on the technical side, including how I did the faux 3-D effect of two sprite circling each other on the congrats screen in Space Racer and the as promised Tile Ripper for tile based games. I'd also like to share some press the new game's received, including being picked by IndieGames.com as one of the best of January's Xbox Indies! Till then...
