About this game
Cube Racer is a round based multiplayer racing game with cubes. Every round, all players race against each other to the finish line. Before every round, the players get to build one or more obstacles on the map. In the next round, all players have to pass all the obstacles, which have been built yet.
So basically, the game is designed to be a fun multiplayer game. You race against your friends or other players, to finish as fast as possible and score as much points as possible. But instead of giving the winning player an advantage for the following rounds, like it is done in many other games, all players have the same conditions every round, as all players are racing on the same map, with the same obstacles.
Besides of the racing, all players extend the map continuously, as every player can build obstacles, boosters or potential deadly objects on the end of each round. This way, the map gets more difficult or easier, but surely more interesting. It's totally up to you!
To win in the end, you must collect the most points by scoring as good as possible in every round, outsmarting your opponents with your obstacles and your racing skill.
Also, the game comes with a dedicated server, which allows you to set up your own local or online Cube Racer Server. It's a perfect opportunity to play some rounds with your friends, or to have some fun time on a hypothetically LAN-party ;)
In Singleplayer, you can challenge yourself to race on different maps with various predefined obstacles to slam the fastest times you are capable of.
By playing games either in singleplayer or multiplayer mode, you earn credits for your performance. With these credits, you can unlock new types of obstacles time by time. You can also then use the credits to upgrade the obstacles you own, to make them maybe bigger, maybe stronger and develop your personal cube-racing strategy.
At the beginning of a game, every player decides, which obstacles to take along into the game, which makes every online-game individual and exciting.
The game also includes a map editor where you can live your creativity and make your own maps for Cube Racer. You then have the possibility, to either just play your custom maps on your own server, or to upload them to the Steam-Workshop and share your creations with the whole community.
Accordingly, you can also browse through other players map creations to download and play your favorite ones.

Cube Racer 2 - New, Better, More, Less bugs
Cube Racer 2 is comming early 2021 We recently started the development of the greatest successor to the greates game ever: Cube Racer 2 Cube Racer 2 is the one and only logical result of everything that Cube Racer has been. Due to it's amazingly fun and potentially furious experience, we aim to replicate this unique to Cube Racer 2, to still make players work hard for their wins, but also to make some cry. Including evolvable obstacles from popular categories like Deadly, Moving and Boosting, Cube Racer 2 will offer more maps and content than Cube Racer 1. The completely new points distribution system sets new goals for the players to reach the top. Being the fastest cube isn't the only important thing anymore. Use your building credits wisely to mess with your opponents and give yourself an advantage. All this we are doing to make Cube Racer 2 the ultimate cube controlling experience. Expect amazing cube-graphics, incredible gameplay and less than half the bugs Cube Racer 1 had to offer. Are you ready to become a cube (again)? Join our discord if you want to alpha test the game, and want to get involved in the development of the game https://discord.gg/gVFQeUcNwT See you soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30835025/e3761f84354308812dd6ec82c68a04b2a5e9b140.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30835025/dd01845aaa2525dea64c494abd7c0475382f2724.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30835025/ddfc36fd90b0800d8eccad42f1e5be21b9d21571.pngRead full article on Community Announcements (SapphireHD6970)Patch NotesOfficial

Cube Racer going Free to Play
Hi everybody, Exciting news comming right here: Cube Racer is about to become free to play! Why you ask? Good question. Well the answer is even simpler. We are developing Cube Racer completely in our free time. And although we have no problem benefitting a little from working on this game what so ever, we still came to the conclusion, that this game is meant to be played and we want you all to have fun playing it. More than we want to make a big profit out of it. Cube Racer is designed to be played with friends, or at least in multiplayer. And to enable the most fun in the game, you need other people to play with. So to reach out to as many players as possible, we want you all to be able to just play the game for the fun of it. To all the people who already bought the game and thus supported us in being able to futher develop the game, we firstly want to thank you so so much. We really appreciate that you deemed Cube Racer to be a game worth playing. To give you something back for your support, we have prepared some exclusive Cube-Skins and trails, which you will receive some time soon after the switch to free to play. So don't hesitate to get hyped, it's time to prepare for a lot of action :)Read full article on Community Announcements (SapphireHD6970)Patch NotesOfficial
Cube Racer Pre-Spring Update
http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30835025/eae82879475aa0d098800f347804e78b9243b2dd.png Allright you race drivers, prepare for much more Cube Racer action. Now with this new update, we present you with what you all waited for: Skins and lootboxes! Nah I'm just kidding, you didn't wait for that, but well, there it is. But no for real, there are skins and lootboxes, but you get them just by playing. No paying, no micro-transaction, no ingame-purchases. We think it's just a whole bunch of fun to open lootboxes and get something out of it. So there you go. That being said, let's come to the less important changes: Gameplay: - Small improvements in map editor - Cubes now have trails that show the way your opponents are taking - Obstacle "Slime Block" added. A slimy block that slows you down when touching it. Also it's sound is horrendous - Obstacle "Hammer" added. I suppose that speaks for itself, as it's a hammer that smashes you - Refactoring of the main menu to make it a little more intuitive - Added a bunch of new horns Let's race!Read full article on Community Announcements (SapphireHD6970)
