Independent developers NimbleBit have announced the opening of beta signups for their PC kart game Zero Gear. Billed as "physically-fueled, online multiplayer PC kart combat madness" they have also released a trailer showcasing gameplay, weapons and tracks.
About the developers:
Zero Gear is a labor of love by the 3 person team NimbleBit, and has been under development for over 2 years. NimbleBit is composed of Brian Cronin,
David Marsh and Ian Marsh, whom are 100% self-funded and and striving to
live the Indie dream. Currently they are working at fever-pace to release
Zero Gear so that they can prove to friends and family that they haven't
just been idly unemployed for the past few years.
Nimblebit has released a new update for its kart combat and racing game Zero Gear, adding the new Sumo game mode.
Multiplayer.it: The genre of arcade driving games was very fashionable a few years ago, just think of legendary games like ATR - All Terrain Racing or the newer Re-Volt, still a myth in many actually still played by a handful of loyalists .
Gamer Limit writes: "When you think of competitive kart racing games, Mario Kart is the main franchise that comes to mind, with several iterations on all number of Nintendo systems. However, developer Nimblebit is hoping to shake up the kart racing genre with their first offering for the PC, Zero Gear.
It's hard not to draw parallels to Mario Kart when speaking of a kart racing game, and Zero Gear stays true to the style, offering numerous weapons to use against your opponents in an effort to score an underhanded win."
