HardDriverz is an arcade racing game where players can customize their karts to compete through fun, twisty, futuristic tracks that defy gravity. Pick different cool, unique power-ups that will help you get ahead of other racers as you compete to be the fastest racer. Race through six tracks that showcase three terrain themes as you compete against AI racers! Each track is set in one of three different terrains digitally recreated within a packed stadium, filled with eager spectators ready to see who will win the race. Start your race through the iridescent roads of “Disc Drive” as you boost through to victory. Twist and turn through the hilly dunes of a sandy “Android Arena” wasteland. Fly through the neon-lit cyberscape of “Circuit City” as you see a vibrant city inside of a computer. Customize your kart to look and play the way you want to! Choose how you want to play by customizing how your kart looks. Change your kart’s wheels, spoiler, and engine to adjust your acceleration, handling, and weight abilities. You can even choose what colors to make your kart and driver. There are over a hundred possible kart combinations, so discover your unique race champion. Powerful pickup items will give you the edge over your competitors! Utilize six different pickup items that can give a variety of fun abilities that can help you further your advantage or catch up to the competition. From shields to speed boosts and a tractor beam that’ll drag you to an opponent up ahead, these powerful pickups will be key to your victory.
