About

Go Kart Island is an open world kart racer set on the fictional (if you can believe that) island called... Go Kart Island.
A full story mode with 34 different events and 150 collectables to find in the open world.
Giraffes? Turtles? SHEEP? We’ve got ‘em all. 32 different animals to chat with, race against, and unlock!
Aim for the gold trophy in 84 challenges, adding a new twist and replayability to events completed in story mode.
A variety of items to use on opponents and obstacles to avoid, including the homing pizza (delivered in 3 seconds or less), the splatula (get it? Splatula! Cause it splats…) and the aptly named Squish-E-Boi Cube.
Fully honkable kart horn. HONK!
Compatible with the demo which features the first 5 events of the story mode, so you can try before you buy. Or just buy, I have a mortgage to pay.

The island caught up in BIG RACE fever, where the participants compete to become GO KART CHAMPION.
Lachlan the highland cow arrives on the island full of hope to win the BIG RACE, but the weasel Mayor has an election campaign to fund and demands you raise 1,000 coins for an "entry fee". Talk about a corrupt official. But just HOW can you raise such a ludicrous amount of coins?
Well, you're in luck! The inhabitants of Go Kart Island have no shortage of activities they would like you to partake in and they offer cold, hard cash as a reward. And all of them just happen to be mega fun, guaranteed!*

What good is a karting game without races? Classic karting rules apply, use items to take out your opponents and reach the finish in 1st place. But watch out, some races require you to perform side objectives so not everything is a straight dash to the finish!
Circuit Race: A classic race around multiple laps of a circuit with little other shenanigans in sight. Except from the obstacles and items you can use to overtake and fend off your rivals, of course.
Checkpoint Race: Beat your rivals to first place is not enough, you also have to beat the concept of TIME ITESELF. Reach checkpoints before the timer runs out!
Collect Race: Coins are littered around the circuit and you have to get them all and win the race. Why? I dunno.
Elimination Race: If you’re in last place at the end of the lap you’re eliminated. Nobody knows what happens to people that are eliminated, but it definitely means you’re out of the race.
Death Race: Avoid being hit by items and obstacles - if you run out of health you’re dead! Well not really dead, but your hopes of winning the race certainly are.
Street Race: An unsanctioned and possibly illegal (whatever that means) event where you race from one point on the island to another. Look out for traffic as you let your rivals eat your dust.

Test your speedy driving skills in time trials. The islanders are an impatient bunch and need your help to get to their destination as fast as possible but INEXPLICABLE obstacles tend to appear out of nowhere. It’d be a bit boring otherwise wouldn’t it?
Things are lost, and you have to track them down and run them over with your kart as fast as possible. Well, how else are you supposed to collect things? Slowly and with care? That would be stupid.
How about a classic high speed chase? Perhaps you have to pursue a mouse whose wife suspects him of having an affair (a.k.a. mouse-dultery) or even escape yourself from the local karting gang of ducks. Yeah, ducks. Quack!
There's even a CRAZY event where you have to TAXI people around the island to deliver them to their destinations and rush to get the next fare.

Every moment on Go Kart Island isn't taken up by taking part in some kind of wild event. There's a whole island to explore! From the mountain top, to the airport, to the lagoon there is much to see and do. Find coins, gems and smash the mayor's advertising boards as you take in a seemingly impossible amount of diverse scenery and climates for a single island.

learned about the game from a bluesky post, and got excited to play as a cow. game made my evening, lots of fun
--Simpático pero soso-- El juego está simpático, la música ska y funk acompaña muy bien y te tiene entretenido 2/3 horas... Pero hay poco más que hacer. Me entretuve bastante cogiendo los coleccionables y descubriendo zonas de la isla, pero una vez hecho eso solo queda correr las pruebas y... Bueno, he de reconocer que hay variedad de pruebas (escapar, perseguir, seguir, coleccionar, eliminación, tiempo, checkpoints...) pero se ha vuelto algo monótono. El control de los karts es bueno pero soso, sin nada de chicha en forma de técnicas de derrape, turbos etc... El concepto de isla es lo que más me ha gustado, pero una vez cogidos los coleccionables se vuelve aburrido. De igual manera si te gustan este tipo de juegos y lo ves barato es una opción, no es un desastre de juego, solo insuficiente
cozy fun challenging
This game is goofy as hell and I love it. I think the drift/slide could be improved, it just feels more like a sharp turn than any sort of actual sliding. Overall a funny little casual racer, with some clever missions and race modes. Good value.
Simpatico.
Top quality chatter from the characters in this game! The racing is decent enough, there is exploring, collecting, challenges (some easy, some not so easy) but it really shines from thé start with the ridiiculous, silly conversations. What a tonic. It's fun! Maybe it's got something to say to you! Maybe not - doesn't matter, just skid around on Go Kart Island and see if you enjoy it. Definitely looking forward to the next one from this developer. Buy this!
Quite the cute and charming kart racer! The world and characters and humor really add a lot to the experience, and there's a great variety of race types and items that keep things fresh. The driving and drifting is simple, but effective for keeping things more laid back and relaxing. Ironically, one thing this game does best is what I wish Mario Kart World had more of -- actual "missions" that involve real characters and real things. This game does exactly that, and keeps you guessing what kind of mission will happen next. Aesthetically, it's also got a nice feel to it. The world itself is dense and charming, though I do find myself wishing for more variety in terms of level geometry, camera angles, etc. Overall, a great little kart racer for those who just want to have a relaxing time.
5/10 A simple top down racing game that is a little too simple for my liking. It's cheap, but unless you want a cozy kart game, look elsewhere. Between races, you drive around in the open world, which is quite empty apart from some basic collectibles that are mostly easy to find and marked on the map. And you have to play through this in the 3 hour "Story" mode to unlock races and drivers for the challenge mode. Which is just replaying the story races. As from what I can tell, there is no multiplayer. Something I rarely care about, but for a racing game, it's kinda essential. After playing through this, I do not see much reason to come back to it. It doesn't help that the "story" is just cringe dialogue. The visuals don't help much. It's not a pretty game. And now, its not because that like the game play, its simplistic. the style is not good. The music is very repetitive and generic. The character designs are dull. As for the mechanics, it doesn't do anything that hasn't been done far better. Most of which just feel like following Mario kart's lead. Which is fine if its done well or exciting, but it just isn't. Speed is so slow that half the time drifting isn't essential. Items are present, but most of which are boosters, shoot forward or drop and forget. The cookie is the green shell, pizza the red, arrows are the mushroom, oil and eggs are the bananas, the cross is the the star. Some of the alternative modes can be a little fun. I like the street race, which is just one long course instead of a lapping race. Another is litterally crazy taxy. The game isn't bad per se, but nothing about it is good or entertaining. Hard to recommend even for the price.
fun, open world racing game. basic but fun
Short but sweet racing game with a nice little open world to explore.
