Staying relevant to the youth of today...
Warped Kart Racers, a kart racing game that supports up to eight players at a time, is now available on Apple Arcade. The game features popular characters from 20th Television animated shows, including Peter Griffin from "Family Guy," Hank Hill from "King of the Hill," Stan Smith from "American Dad" and Terry from "Solar Opposites."
There are 20 TV characters to play in total in solo battles or races with friends. Races take place in iconic locations from the television shows, with 16 maps drawn from fan-favorite episodes.
In addition to playing multiplayer with friends, Apple Arcade users can also go through the extensive single player campaign to unlock new characters and levels.
Warped Kart Racers is the only new game on Apple Arcade this week, but there are new updates for existing games that include Disney Melee Mania, Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure, Simon's Cat, Zen Pinball Party, and more.
Apple Arcade is priced at $4.99 per month, and it includes more than 200 new and original gaming titles. All of the games are free to play with no additional in-app purchases or payments required. Up to six family members can share a single Apple Arcade subscription through Apple's Family Sharing features.

Played it this morning before I got out of bed. It's seemed like a reskin of Mariokart. There's even a purple turtle thing you throw instead of a green one. It's great that it plays decently on an iPhone 8 though, but I doubt that I'll play any more than I currently have. idk. Iif I ever get bored enough, maybe.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on Switch/Playstation/Xbox/PC. Many other games have made that jump. The exclusivity is just for mobile phones which basically means they’re not releasing it for Android.
It might do, but as yet Electrit Square’s previous game, Detonation Racing, remains exclusive to Apple Arcade.
So you haven’t tried. I did. Actually very well made and comes close to Mario Kart.
They published their first one. This one, 20th Century Games is the publisher. And, I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple Arcade is a proving ground for the concept and, if they think micro transactions will pay off, I can imagine them pushing other developers to bring the game to other platforms.
I know with Grindstone, the developer wasn’t sure the idea was worth pursuing as a full game, so they released to Apple Arcade, saw a lot of engagement, tweaked the options based on customer feedback then rolled it out to the Switch.
Then it’s good that this amount also gets you games in other genres other than kart racers.
I love kart racing games, that's so stupid funny. A very good way to spend 30 unserious minutes with my grand-kids when the weather is bad.
Dismissing the opinions of people who haven't already paid money for it introduces bias ?♂️ If the game really was well made the characters faces would be animated, the voices wouldn't be extracontextual audio snippets from the tv-series, the game design would show some originality and the trailer would show fun gameplay instead of just relying on recognizable characters.
Yup, then just remove the MacFarlane stuff and you’ve got a winner.
Sonic piece of ****, the most terrible game in this genre (mariokart style)
The same reaction, mariokart reskin, the dynamics feel the same, even the acceleration timing is the same 1 in 1
Wake me when they make Simpsons kart racing game. Or even Futurama now that their cast and crew is all back together.
I remember playing this back in 1992, how odd they changed the name. Was called Mario Kart back in the day. ?♂️
Played it
It’s far too simplistic and devoid of content for me to enjoy but it did introduce me to Solar Opposites, which I did enjoy

"An F in English? Bobby, you speak English!"
But why the auto accelerate? Full speed ahead only.
And weird controller scheme – can't control the turning with the D-pad and R2 and L2 are used to ”throw” and drift. Non of the other buttons seems to be usable in the game.
I think it could be better with some tweaks.
And no local co-op? Need more local co-op games.
