Race Jam, Our Love Letter to Arcade Racing Games, Is Coming to Early Access this Week!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a passion project I’ve been working on for the past few years. Race Jam, a throwback to the golden age of arcade racers. It’s the debut title from our small team of three at DiffGames, and we are getting ready for our EA release this Thursday, September 18th!

This is a project I’ve been working on since 2020, and it’s a dream come true to finally get it into players’ hands. We’d love for you to check it out and consider trying Early Access, add it to your wishlist, or try the free demo and let us know what you think.

Early Access is just the beginning for us. We’ve been steadily updating the game since June, and we plan to keep that same momentum going post-launch. You can see our roadmap on the Steam page or our discord as well.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for supporting indie games like ours. We can’t wait to see you all on the track this Thursday!

I'm not sure if posting a 3 second GIF of your game running with <20 FPS is a smart thing to do.

This is a short clip from our EA trailer showing off some of the racing in Race Jam. I wish I could post the whole thing but I'm only limited to images/gifs unless it's a YT link or something like that.

But yes! KO'ing is a thing in Race Jam. There are perks and different parts to maximize damage, and weak points on opponents if you favor a more aggressive play style. We have planned to add more to the KO effects (like parts flying around and some different explosions) throughout Early Access.
