Freeverse’s SlotZ Racer, one of the titles announced during the Macworld 2009 expo has just been released to the iTunes Store a moment ago. The game lets you experience those childhood memories of building tracks, burning rubber, draining batteries and racing with friends and family. It is based on the slot car racers of the 70s and 80s. The game is currently on sale for 72 hours and is going at only $0.99 each. It is compatible with both the iPhone and iPod touch.
Race against computer controlled opponents, or with up to 4 friends on a single iPhone/iPod touch, thanks to a unique control system. Building tracks, you say? Yes, Freeverse really meant it when they mentioned building tracks. The game includes an intuitive track editor that provides players with the ultimate freedom in designing their very own race course. And, you’ll never get bored with the same red colored car that you used to play with during your childhood. The game offers a wide selection of cars for you to choose and race in.
Game modes galore; compete for laps, race against the clock in Time Trials mode, drive an endurance race and see how far you could go or simply go for a Quick Race and jump straight into the action. All this plus simulated days and nights mode. Best of all, the game also includes unlockable new circuits, cars, tracks and championship challenges to keep you hooked to the action. Last but not least, hard core racers get to opt between having lane changing turned on, or race in fixed lanes only.
Initial reactions for this game seems good, I grabbed a copy as soon as I could and will be posting a review of it soon. Anyways, as mentioned earlier, Freeverse is basically throwing the game at your way by pricing it at $0.99 and that’s going to last for the first 72 hours only! Later on, the game shall be going at the usual price of $2.99 each. Hit the iTunes Store now to grab it.
