"TIME TRIAL" - the second playtest is here.
Hi Champions, A month has passed since our first playtest of Ultimate Godspeed. Thank you so much for your feedback. Some of you've really gone into detail.
We love it!
This month it's all about placing items and modifying the track. The latest playtest is already available for you to play on Steam. Read on to find out how you can take part and get a chance to win one of two Steam Keys.
[h2]We need your help with placement![/h2]
During tests at fairs and with our friends, we noticed that many players find it difficult to place the items precisely in the level. Since the placement is a main component of the final gameplay loop, we want to improve it.
When you start the playtest you can choose three items from a predefined set of shortcut items like ramps, platforms or rails. Then you can place them freely in the level. Then it's off to the races and you can try to beat the time record of 20 seconds.
Of course, thanks to your feedback on the driving experience, we have made some changes to the player controller itself. This includes: turning when standing still, a snappier (and higher) jump, stronger burst-like boosts and small transition times when entering and exiting a drift. This is by no means final, and we're still tweaking some numbers. It's all about the game feel baby!
One of these changes - the higher jump - also have some deeper impacts on our level design and level modification mechanic!
[h2]How to join?[/h2]
It's simple, join our Discord by clicking on the image above or here: https://discord.gg/BrvnXvcHp6
Apply for the role of Champion of Qa in the Chanel “get-your-role-here”. After a few minutes you will receive a playtest key by mail.
[h2]Give feedback and win a Steam key? How?[/h2]
In fact, it's quite simple. After you're done with the playtest, go back to our Ultimate Godspeed Discord. There you've received the role of 🦸Champion of Qa automatically. You now have access to our QA channels.
The playtest and the chance to win a Steam Key ends in a two weeks time on Saturday, 13 August.
First chance to win a Steam key:
In the channel 💬︱champions-feedback you can tell us what you noticed while playing. The more detailed the better!
How did it feel to place the items? Did you figure out the controls quickly? Were you able to place the items as you wanted? Did you understand what the individual items are good for? Were you able to use the items you placed in the race?
All champions who leave feedback will be entered into a draw to win a Steam key for the release of Ultimate Godspeed.
Second chance to win a Steam key:
Another opportunity to win a Steam key is to complete our monthly challenge. This month's challenge is: Can you beat 20 seconds?
No problem? Good! Once you have managed to beat the time record of 20 seconds, take a screenshot of your winning screen. Then post it in the channel 🥇︱champions-challenge. We will then raffle off a key among all the screenshots.
Extra honorary points for the fastest champion!😉
If you win a key, you will receive it at the release of Ultimate Godspeed to the email address you entered.
Which champions won the last playtest?
In the feedback category, nicole 🐇🍵 won the draw.
In the Monthly Champions Challenge, it was Alpha2749 who won the draw.
Congratulations! 🎉
You will receive a key for the full game in your email when Ultimate Godspeed is released.
Once again, a big thank you to all the champions who help us playtest Ultimate Godspeed. Your feedback is crucial for us in the further development of the game.
We are curious what you think about the playtest TIME TRIAL and how low you can push the time record display.
Godspeed!

Champions! Help us with our monthly playtesting for a chance to win a steam key.
Hey folks, the time has come and we are ready to introduce you to our monthly playtestings! Your feedback from the demo and at fairs has shown that you would like to see an improved driving experience. Testing will start on Saturday and will be available for two weeks. Read on for more details and find out how you can win a steam key while helping us out.
[h2]Why do we need you as a playtester?[/h2]
Which jump feels better? Is this fast enough? Do we need this item? Again and again during the development of Ultimate Godspeed we are confronted with questions that you as a community can actually answer better.
This is also the case for the playtest we are launching on Saturday, June 25 at 9am EST. In the open playtest «Driving Experience» we provide you with two versions of drifting the following boost, two jump styles and the ability to quickly turn, when you stay absolutely still. We want to know, which version you find better and why!
[h2]How can I participate?[/h2]
It's simple, join our Discord by clicking on the image above or here: https://discord.gg/BrvnXvcHp6
There you will find a link in the Chanel "get-your-role-here" to get the role of Champios of Qa. The link leads to a form where you can enter your email address.
After a few minutes you will receive a playtest key by mail. You can activate this key on Steam and then download the Ultimate Godspeed playtest and start driving.
[h2]What is there to test?[/h2]
After you have started the playtest, an overview will appear. Please read it carefully so that you know what the test is about.
After that you will be spawned directly into the level and you can start immediately. You can drive around on the map and test the driving experience to the fullest. As mentioned, there are two versions of driving. You can switch between them at any time. Also, local multiplayer is enabled in the playtest and a friend can always join and try the driving styles themselves.
Please note, that the usual gameplay loop is disabled and that you are able to reach parts of the level, which normally are not accessible. So don't be surprised if you can glitch through some level geometry! 😉

Another opportunity to win a Steam key is to complete our monthly challenge. This month's challenge is: Get the coin at the Top!
No problem? Good! Once you've reached the top platform at the coin, take a screenshot for us still on the top! Then post it in the channel 🥇︱champions-challenge. We will then raffle off a key among all the screenshots.
If you win a key, you will receive it at the release of Ultimate Godspeed to the email address you entered.
We are so looking forward to your feedback and your opinion on the different driving experiences and their nuances! It's also wonderful that you, the community, have the opportunity to take part in shaping the game through the playtests. Thanks to your help, we can deliver a more polished gaming experience in Ultimate Godspeed. Without you, the Champions of Qa, this would not be possible.
Thank you all and let the games begin!
