About
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.
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.
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.
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.
HardDriverz was made by the students of Cohort 34 at SMU Guildhall as part of their Team Game Project II course over the course of a 12-week development cycle.

非常好的游戏 非常好的赛道和独特机制！
很高兴作为程序producer和大家一起创作了这款优秀的游戏！希望大家玩得开心~~~~~~~~~~~
Congrats to the students that worked on this game! The premise is pretty cool but I think the highlight is the racing feel itself more than anything. It's fast, extremely smooth, and the handling feels super nice while drifting. That being said, some sections of each track are a bit finicky and can disrupt that flow. You may go from 1st to 8th from falling out of a half-pipe or getting stuck on a corner. Drive hard and you're no longer a Harddriver...zzz
미완성 조이스틱 안됨. 설정 때 이상현상 생김. 조이스틱 전용이라 키보드로 무엇을 해야 할 지 안나옴. 콘솔전용으로 출시하려다가 완성되기 전에 엎어져서 그냥 스팀 무료로 던진 게 보임. 아무리 봐도 개선을 할 거 같진 않음. 애초에 의지가 있었다면 미완성 게임을 스팀으로 던지진 않겠지. 피해 본 건 나 하나면 충분하니까 그냥 설치도 하지 마시길.

HardDriverz ist ein kostenloses Racing-Spiel im Stil von Mario Kart & Co. In einer abgedrehten Robowelt fährt man als bunter Roboter mit seinem Rennwagen um die Wette. Natürlich gibt es verrückte Strecken mit allerlei Hindernissen und PowerUps zum Gegner malträtieren oder sich selbst boosten. Es wäre also alles da für ein bisschen simple Racing-Action. Und ja, im ersten Moment ist es das. Ich war zunächst positiv überrascht, wie gefällig das Ganze wirkt. Gerade die Grafik und Präsentation sind echt gelungen, und ich freute mich auf ein paar lockere Runden unkomplizierter Action. Leider verflog die Freude schneller als erhofft. Das kleinere Problem: Es wird schlicht nichts erklärt. Insbesondere die PowerUps muss man sich irgendwie selbst erschliessen, denn nirgendwo im Spiel gibt’s auch nur den Hauch einer Erklärung, was was macht. Das wäre verschmerzbar, wenn das Gameplay stimmen würde. Aber genau da hapert’s gewaltig. Die Steuerung ist derart schwammig, dass präzises Fahren zur Glückssache wird. Kombiniert mit ziemlich zackigen Gegnern und viel zu vielen mühsamen Hindernisse in den Strecken, an denen man garantiert hängen bleibt, ergibt das eine Frustmischung erster Güte. Dazu kommt eine absurde Gummibandmechanik: In einem Rennen war ich die meiste Zeit Letzter, hatte dann etwas Glück und wurde kurz vor Schluss noch Dritter. In einem anderen fuhr ich ganz okay, konnte aber nie echten Vorsprung herausfahren, machte einen kleinen Fehler und war sofort hoffnungslos abgeschlagen. Wozu fahre ich da die ersten zwei Runden, wenn's sowieso nur drauf ankommt, was ich am Ende mache? Fazit: Die tolle Präsentation wird leider durch das frustrierend unsaubere Gameplay komplett entwertet. Für absolute Rennspielfans und -experten vielleicht mal einen Blick wert, allein schon weil’s kostenlos ist. Für alle anderen aber ganz klar: keine Empfehlung.
Bu rekabetçi arcade yarış oyununda, özelleştirilebilir kartlarla kıvrımlı, yerçekimine meydan okuyan pistlerde fütüristik şehir manzaralarında lastikleri yakın! Çok iyi bee yaaa.
On the bright side, the game delivers fantastic handling and driving feel—it’s smooth and responsive. The art style and soundtrack are also pleasant surprises, really elevating the overall atmosphere. However, the map design feels a bit messy and confusing, especially for new players. The onboarding tutorial isn’t clear enough, which made it hard to get oriented. To make things worse, during my very first race, I got stuck on the track due to a awkward control hiccup—not a great first impression. And seriously… why is there no keyboard and mouse support?? It feels like a major oversight and really limits the accessibility.
