Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom News

Hey taxi lovers,

You know, there's many types of cheese in the world, and a lot of them are good, a lot of them belong on our pizza, which we love and belongs in our bellies. All the time. Almost to the point where someone might say it's unhealthy.

Anyway, where are we going with this? Today there's two important news bits to share with everyone!

[h2]The Rat Update[/h2]

We're launching a FREE update for everyone, aptly called The Rat Update, where we're introducing you to Michele, a rat denizen of the Pizza Time level, naturally. Once you pick up Michele, you'll notice that their cheese senses will take over and you'll start seeing cheese all around every Gear-based level. Let Michele snatch them up and he'll reward you with some coins!



[h2]WE'RE DAILY DEALING, BABY![/h2]

Byeeeeeeeeee!

Hello creatures. We have lots of exciting news!

First off - thank you so much for your continued support of our game. We have 600+ Overwhelmingly Positive reviews 🤯. We continue to be blown away by this incredible vrooming community, so thank you times a million kajillion!!!

Anddd as a thank you and because we’ve had entirely too much pizza at this point - neither of which have anything to do with each other - we’ve decided to make a brand new “Crazy Taxi” inspired level!

In this level it’s all about time survival and bringing clients from one place to the other. Clear all clients’ requests to win! Crank up the volume and rock out to a few new tracks by various artists including Game & Sound, CRGuitar and Mega Ran!



To access the new content, head over to the Arcade Panik level and locate the Cartridge collectible! Once you have the collectible you’ll want to vroom over to the Psycho Taxi cabinet and BOOM you’ll be able to enjoy the new level!



If you already own the game the update will automatically be available to you. And if you don’t already own Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom…WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! We’re 20% off from now until July 11th!

In other news, on Friday July 5th Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom will be vrooming at the Summer Games Done Quick event! For more information or to register for the event check out their website.



And if you’re hungry for more deets we have a few more patch notes to tantalize your taste buds. We don’t know why you’re licking the game but whatever floats your boat. Just wipe the monitor off when you’re done.

[h2]Version 1.1.0 Patch Notes[/h2]

[h3]Game Content[/h3]

• Added a new unlockable level: Psycho Taxi. This level has no gears to collect and it’s all about picking up clients and keeping the timer up!
  
• Added a collectible in Arcade Panik to unlock the Psycho Taxi level.
  

[h3]Speedrun features[/h3]

• With the Speedrun Timer enabled from the Cool Stuff settings, you can now hold the Action button in-game during a Gear pick up in order to have all subsequent Gear pick-up animations sped up.
  

[h3]Gameplay improvements[/h3]

• Unsupported controllers, like a fancy shmancy N64 controller, now display an undefined prompt glyph instead of crashing the game. Yay!
  
• We’ve added one extra pepperoni to the Pizza Time level. But after some internal testing we decided it was overkill and got rid of it.
