The road is a dangerous place, especially when overrun with wild animals in go-karts! This is the official reboot of Apogee's classic racing game Wacky Wheels. It features the ferocious critters, cramped tracks, and wicked powerups that fans of the original love!

For me, the game always starts with a black screen, even running it under compatibility modes (Win 8) didn't work. This makes the game practically unplayable and it looks like the developer didn't bother to update or patch the game to run for modern systems at all. Don't waste your money on this like I did and just play the original DOS game.
So completely disappointed with this remake... looks like it was meant to be the pitch demo for a kickstarter that never got funding to be completed... theme music instantly made me excited, but with the lack of that classy intro and menu I didn't have high hopes. Upon getting ingame and noticing the lack of interaction between drivers, whisper-quiet music and just godawful default controls I felt burnt... Is it a functional kart racer? technically yes, just remap controls and it can be tolerable, but alot of the personality and fun from the original is gone, just missing and it kills the game. I'd say put your money on the original, save yourself half the money and spend it on any different newer cart game... Would recommend almost any cart game over this one for sure.

This looked like a great game, but I was never able to play it. At first it would install and it would launch, but the screen was extended half off the monitor so I couldn't see the entire menu. It was like it was running in the wrong resolution but it wasn't. But now, it wont' launch at all without "compatibility mode" enabled and even then it only loads to a blank screen. If you press ESC the menu screen flashes on for a split second as the game exits. These bugs have persisted since last year and the developer hasn't made any attempt that I can see to fix them. It's a shame really as it looked like a really fun game. That's why I bought it in the first place.
Mais pourquoi !!! l'original est mille fois mieux que se soi-disant remake HD. quelque chose me gène dans se jeu j'ai l'impression de jouer a un jeu en flash, et le contrôle du kart est bizarre. Bref si vous avez aimez Wacky Wheels premier du nom ne prenez pas se jeu, ou en super promo à la rigueur si vous voulez vraiment faire votre propre avis. mais le fun n'y est pas.
game doesnt even load up, very broken
Can`t get this game working. No matter what you do. Money stealing operation approved by steam and valve!!!!!!
Typically, I don't like to say this, but do not buy this game. Seriously, it is impossible to get running properly on a Windows 10 or Windows 8 PC. Out of the hundred times that I tried to get the game working, it only worked twice and the graphics looked awful, looking like something you would submit as your first ever game design class project, like I've seen Flash games that look better. It's a shame because I was interested in it since Wacky Wheels was my first ever kart racer, but it is not worth the headache to try to get it running. If I hadn't bought the game from a third-party website, I would be refunding this. Please don't waste your money on this.
I'll he honest, I got this in a gacha steam key pack from a third party reseller. The twist is I played the original in the Before Times, installed from floppy discs my adult nephew pirated from a mysterious place called "Internet Forums". The original sucked too.
this game is a TOTAL MESS only plays in window and wont run on 4k screen without issues sound is basic graphics are basic but thats the point so fine but compatibility is not great at all controller support is NOT FULL so expect too use a keyboard or mouse shame this game was interesting and reminds me of mario cart was hoping it was better than it was buy on DEEP sale ONLY if your interested in making this work better and dont mind fiddling about with applications and compatibilitys i rate this 2/10 needs enormous work to get to a usable state that everyone can enjoy tested with xbox one controller - was better than the other but this is cos its customisable in windows xbox 360 controller - didnt work correctly ps3 controller - didnt work correctly ps2 controller - only a few buttons work corsair gaming keyboard n95 + g502 hero mouse 2070 8gb +i7 6800k 32gb ram on 256 nvme
claims to support xbox controller yet i still have to use the keyboard to play it , what a waste of 10 dollars, i did research to try to see if there was a patch or update , publisher claims theres an update , yet the verify integrity of game cache is not available for me to update the game . The game is broken , This is the first game out of 240 plus games in my steam library i have no option to verify the games cache
