Spell Karts News

Welcome potential Spell Karters!

The demo we're launching for the autumn festival is a cut-down version of the full game, with fewer maps and no progression items. Additionally there are no save games, so progress is not saved.
Steam achievements and stats are also unavailable in the demo.

The game is still pre-early access so this is a very early build.
We believe in this game and what we have now showcases the core concept we have in mind.

We have a long way to go but we are dedicated and excited for the future we have planned.

We hope you enjoy playing!

Hello Spell Karters!

Patch 20100700 is now live, bringing many general improvements as well as a balance pass to most of the speed affecting spells/objects. The goal is to make the game feel faster overall whilst not allowing one or two lucky spell pickups to dictate the entire race.

Spell balance changes:

• Heal & Shield now additionally give a minor speed boost
  
• Rush spell speed boost reduced from 25 -> 15
  
• Reduced effect duration of both Nature AOE spells 2s -> 1s
  
• Reduced effect duration of Nature Ball 3s -> 1.5s
  
• Changed application mechanics of AOE spells to reduce their impact overall
  

Other balance changes:

• Reduced “Vine Grab” trap effect from 2s -> 1s
  

Improvements:

• Added death effects for disconnected players
  
• Added “No race found” notification when searching without success
  
• Improved loading screen design
  
• Improved smoothing of objects during high latency spikes
  
• Improvements to “Vicious Vikings”
  
• Reduced delay between wall trap movements in “Dungeon Dash”
  
• Reduced light emitted from healing spell
  
• Multiple minor UI improvements
  

Fixes:

• Disconnected players are now properly removed from the scoreboard
  
• Fixed blur on post game stats
