Downhill Karts

A little physics game about downhill karting. Keep the kart steady by tilting the phone and try to keep ragdoll driver inside the kart for as long as possible. Sounds simple, eh?

Whole game idea was (once again) born accidentally. One morning I decided to code just something interesting while waiting for coffee maker to do it's job. My coffee maker is'n that fast, so I had enough time to write 2D terrain generator. First thoughts I had about my new level generator were actually something like little wings - monster truck hybrid..:)

A few days later i came up with an idea: Add some slope and randomness to level generator algorithm, add downhill kart and a ragdoll: omg, this must be done asap!:O

First preview build was done in about a week. It only had very basic gameplay implementation with crappyish placeholder graphics, but it worked quite seamlessly and everyone who tested it like it and wanted to play more.

In the end, the development time was not too long, but as I made everything all by myself, along with my schoolworks and stuff, it took almost 6 months to get it published. By the time I'm writing this, Downhill Karts has been in WP7 marketplace for a little less than a week, and it seems to be getting pretty nice reviews :)
