About the Game

Experience the thrill of driving a soapbox car down a mountain in this chaotic cult classic kart racer, accidentally knocking your competitors into the sea or getting lost in green fields without as much as a road sign to help you find your way.

Actual features

  • Physics-based multiplayer kart racing!
  • Up to 12 players over the Internet or local network
  • 1-4 local players split screen (online or offline)
  • Share-a-gamepad option for up to 4 players using 2 game pads

Questionable features

  • 3 large seaside maps (no more, no less)
  • Randomly generated avatars (you can switch but not choose)
  • Possible to get lost (the game doesn't even know where to go)
  • Unpredictable respawn logic (that makes it possible to reach tricky places)
  • No placement indicator

Cult classic

This is a remastered version of the original Seaside Racing that was released on Xbox Live Indie Games in 2010.

The original game has a cult following among at least one group of friends in Indiana, USA, since its original release on Xbox Live Indie Games in 2010. Since publishing this, I’ve also been notified that there is a cult following in High Wycombe, England, UK in addition to the aforementioned cult following in the USA.
