Slip & Skid

Slip & Skid is a multiplayer racing game for up to four players, online or in local split screen. You race around tracks, then alter them between rounds by choosing and placing obstacles, traps, surface changes or game modifiers. Races award points according to finishing position. Players repeat this cycle until someone reaches the required score; to win, that player must finish first in the next round, while the others try to finish ahead of them or team up to stop them.

Shape the track

Between races, you choose from obstacles ranging from simple objects to complex animated weapons, then place them wherever you want. Precise three-dimensional placement tools let you turn objects into traps or narrow shortcuts. Some obstacles change the surface of the track and its objects to asphalt, ice, dirt, mud, concrete, magma or sand. The track's surfaces can also affect the environment, scenery and music during the game.

Race and disrupt

Cars handle differently on different surfaces. You can use aerial control to flip, roll and drive on walls, or push other players off the track and into traps with physics-based arcade driving that includes drifts, acceleration, jumps and flips. Obstacles can create shortcuts, while modifiers can alter driving or the track. Driving modifiers include increased reverse speed and bonuses for performing flips; track modifiers can swap the start and finish lines or transform all surfaces.

Modes and multiplayer

Time trial mode gives you a ghost to beat on each track, with an accessory to unlock. Multiplayer supports up to four players online and/or locally in split screen, and its rules are editable. There is no matchmaking system; multiplayer is limited to friend lobbies.
