The checkered flag is in sight: the OctaRace Kickstarter campaign is entering its final lap, and there are only a few days left to join the race. Developed by Pixel Almost Perfect and published by PixelHeart, this retro-style arcade racing game has already caught the attention of many fans with its fast-paced pixel art, wild drivers, and ruthless gameplay.
But to cross the finish line, every backer counts. Each contribution is a turbo boost that brings the project closer to success. This is the moment that makes all the difference.
OctaRace: A Turbocharged Tribute to 90s Arcade Racers
OctaRace is a 2D pixel-art racing game inspired by the raw energy of 90s arcade racers. Everything moves fast. You choose one of eight colorful characters, each with their own vehicle, stats, and unique personality. Then you launch into circuits filled with hazards, ramps, traps, and speed boosts. The goal? Win at any cost.
The game blends retro inspiration with modern design: polished visuals, smooth animations, an energizing electro soundtrack, and a fast but accessible gameplay. You can race solo or with friends, both locally and online, each match is a chaotic, high-speed brawl.
Planned for release on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox, OctaRace brings the spirit of arcade racing back to life, appealing to nostalgic players and newcomers alike.
