Game- RACE For Your Life – cross platform, multiplayer up to 4 players!

The idea

Lately I’ve been working with a lot of games ideas at the same time. I keep some in the box and others I give start.

I think it was one of the fastest ideas that I had. A long time I wanted to do something with multiplayer, and this game was the strongest candidate I had. It reminds me of a game from my childhood the Spin-Out to Odyssey 2, this is the proof that I am an old guy. 😉

Amora’s filosofy

I wanted this game to be easy to learn, but incredibly challenging and addictive. No complicated power ups, no complicated controls. Sit back and play! That’s it!
It was a difficult task to make this game be cross platform and multiplayer. I can say it took about 2 months to get to something that would work satisfactorily on all devices.

Test Proof!

We took the game to a local game show here in Brazil and was a big hit among children and several times they told us, it was the best game they had played at the game show. It was very rewarding for us and this response gave us the confidence that we were on the right track! The track of fun!

The sound
I usually make simple songs for my games, but in this case I wanted something in the same graphic style of the game. Something retro but with a footprint of current technology, something addictive and at the same time simple. The artist behind the music of this game is Rocco from Netherlands. It is a super musician! We are very glad to have his songs in our game.

We won the featured page in OUYA!

Here the description of the game:

Conclusion

Developing a game is a true challenge, but creating a multiplayer game is even more complex. However, we have overcome all the difficulties and embraced the challenge of being at the forefront of technology with the implementation of cross-platform play. With great dedication and teamwork, my partner and I have achieved this remarkable feat, leaving our mark in the history of video games.

Our vision was to enable players from Android, iOS, Windows, MAC, and OUYA systems to play together. It seemed like an ambitious goal, but we spared no effort to make it a reality. After all, we dream big and believe that working hard is essential to turn our dreams into reality.

Thank you all for being part of this exciting journey!
