Little Racers demo has been reviewed on IGN Communal Shower.
So IGN has “reviewed” Little Racers demo, and their conclusions are that the game is a Rip Off from Ironman Stewarts’ Off Road… well, I don’t really know where to start.
I could understand if they said it was a clone of Super Sprint, it’s obviously based on the game perspective and track layouts, but Off road? Come on, for god’s sake…
Apart from that, they scold the game for not having power-ups. I’ve told it many times, the game doesn’t have power-ups because it’s a RACING game. I do not recall Need for speed, Colin Mc rae, GRID, etc. having any kind of power-ups during race. This is no Mario Kart. Why should LR have them?
They obviously started the game hoping it was Super Sprint, and were disappointed when they found it wasn’t, but anyway they attacked us for being based on its layout.
If you think the game is similar, I encourage you to play Super Sprint again, you’ll probably change your opinion.
Recently, Little Racers’ demo download numbers have reached the astonishing number of 25,000! Since it has been available for about 15 days, that makes an average of almost 2,000 downloads per day!
Also, on another topic, we’ve decided to delay a bit the online multiplayer mode to ensure it works flawlessly, and we’ve focused on finishing the first update, which addresses the freezing bugs some people were experiencing.
This update should be available soon. The full changelist will be posted soon, but the major changes, apart from this fix, are the 3 new maps available, all of them wider and simpler, as almost all of the users asked for them.
That’s right. Little Racers ‘ sales numbers are enough to place it on the Top 7 this week . Also it’s the 2nd most-selling 400 MP game on Community Games right now.
Thanks again for your support. We’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas to improve the game even further.
Little Racers demo has been reviewed on XNPlay. Read it on the original article.
The XBLA and XNA review site XBLARatings has interviewed WaaghMan as the main developer of Little Racers. The article is available on their website.
Despite being released on Thursday, Little Racers has sold enough copies to reach the Top 10 of Community Games sales last week(9th position).
As an additional note, it’s the only one in the Top10 that’s being sold at 400 MP , so that’s a double success. We’re grateful to everyone that tried and bought the game. And for those who bought it but experienced some problems, don’t worry, we’re working on it right now to deliver the first patch, with Online mode being the main improvement.
After some days available, we’ve received some feedback from users regarding what can be improved to make Little Racers a better game.
The main suggestion we’ve got is an online mode. During the development of the product, we decided to focus on the local multiplayer mode to ensure a good final product quality, since networking is a difficult and lengthy task.
Now that the game is out, we’ve decided to focus on the development of the online mode. Our estimations are that this online mode will be available around May.
The update will include other improvements suggested by users:
Remember that when the update is available, the game will NOT update automatically, you’ll have to redownload it (if you purchased the game, you won’t have to pay for it again, don’t worry).
Little Racers review process has finished succesfully and it now it’s available for download at the Marketplace . Feel free to download it to your Xbox and send us your suggestions. We’d love to get feedback from you for future updates and games!.
