- The end of Smash Pixel Racing, and the start of something new. - 19 April 2019
Hello! Around three years ago (oh how time flies!), I released Smash Pixel Racing into Early Access and it was a very rewarding and exciting experience. I had a great time playing with my friends and seeing/hearing from the few but very meaningful players that left feedback and made videos playing with their friends! Unfortunately around 6-12 months into EA, I become increasingly busy at my job and I had less and less time available to spend working on the game, and eventually development stopped entirely. Now, a few years later, I have more stability and more free time, and I want to get back to doing what I love: developing games. However, I must apologize to everyone who purchased the game, and especially those that hoped it would grow into something more. Development will not restart on Smash Pixel Racing, and I will soon be removing the game from sale on the Steam Store. Whilst the…
- Update 0.15 - New Sounds, Minor Changes & Launch Error FIX - 11 January 2017
*CHECK BELOW IF YOU ARE HAVING LAUNCH ISSUES* It's has been a long time since the last update and I apologize to anyone who was following along but I could not avoid taking the time away from development. The game is available in an IndieGala bundle right now so I'm hoping for some more feedback & opportunity for testing and ironing out some bugs with a larger player base. I have updated the game with new cleaner sound effects and tried to balance all of the volumes better (it was a mess before). There are also bunch of small fixes and changes that I neglected to properly log down for this patch. Thanks for playing! ːsteamhappyː -JollyfishGames ** If you are unable to launch the game, please try launching the SmashPixelRacing executable directly from the game files with Administrator permissions if needed, also try deleting SmashPixelRacing processes from the task manager if they are pr…

- Update 0.14 - Co-op Survival Mode, Energy Shields, Murderbots, Ship Rebalance! - 23 July 2016
Hi everyone! The summer heat has slowed development a little, but 0.14 is finally ready! Here are the most significant updates: - Survival/Co-op Mode: Play alone or with friends and survive against the clock with ever increasing difficulty. Highscore is tracked, try to beat your best time alone or as a group! Versus modes are accessible through Party on the main menu. - Turrets: Security turrets/murderbots now spawn in all modes, they will repeatedly fire at the nearest player. Take them out before they take you out! - Energy Shield: Energy bar now protects the player in the form of a visible energy shield. It will deflect lasers and shield players from damage but use up some energy on contact. - Ship Stats: The energy capacity stat was giving an unfair advantage to Heavy class ships. Energy capacity/usage is now balanced for all ships and has been replaced by Hull Regeneration stat. He…

- Update 0.13 - Space Mines, Combat, New Ships! - 3 July 2016
What's up everyone! Thanks for playing! 0.13 is ready and it's action packed! 0.13 Patch Notes! - Four new ships added! - Lasers are much cheaper to fire and deal as much base damage as they cost in energy. - Space Mines/Bombs now spawn, they will explode on contact with racers or weapons fire - very dangerous! They spawn less than anything else but still regularly for now. - Players take less damage from obstacles. - Some new asteroid and debris pieces. - Less Energy Packs spawning for 4 players. - Slightly less debris spawning. - Moving left is far less punishing and much more useful as an escape. I hope everyone enjoys the update! Head over to the forums if you want to discuss! Stay tuned because there are some really cool things coming up! The next major patch is going to take a little longer and will likely see work done on the single-player and/or co-op modes.

- Update 0.12 - Ship Stats - 25 June 2016
Smash Pixel Racing - Early Access 0.12 Patch Notes Ship Stats & Handling: -Ships are now split into three classes: Light, Medium and Heavy -Each class has different handling, armor and energy capacity stats! Mac OS and Linux/Steam OS are now officially supported, but consider Windows as the most reliable build for now though as it is more difficult for me to test these other platforms. Improvements to Ship Select to reflect the new Ship Stats system. Added and changed some sounds, mostly menu stuff. Fixed a bug where a player could gain impossible momentum. Minor tweaks and fixes.
