Description
Slingshot Racing is set in a beautiful steampunk environment with ice tracks, grappling hooks, snowmen and more!

Play the demo http://www.snowbolt.com/index.php/games/slingshotracing/demo

Use your grappling hook to slingshot around corners in this fast paced arcade style racer. Hone your skills by learning on the tutorial tracks, then blast out of the snow onto more complex tracks against other racers. Race around a selection of tracks in stunning day and night settings.

Career mode features 80 races with different objectives and settings. Take part in a simple straight race to the top spot on the podium. The pickups race pits you against the clock to collect all the cogs on the track as quickly as possible. The time trials offer you the chance to shave all important seconds and compare your times with others on the leaderboards. Alternatively prove your mettle by taking on the fearsome chomper as it hunts you around the track.

With 4 way multiplayer you can race family or friends on a single PC or Mac. With just a few clicks you can create mini tournaments the way you like or just mix it up with a quick random selection.

Snowbolt Interactive are formed from a group of developers who met while working at Frontier Developments on various Console and PC games such as Kinectimals, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and LostWinds. We've had fun developing Slingshot Racing on mobile platforms but now we want to get back to doing what we do best. The game is currently available on the App Store but we want to bring the Slingshot Racing mayhem to Steam, suitably cranked up of course!

The game was well received by the press; a selection of reviews and comments can be seen below.

The concept of using a grapplinghook in a racing game is actually not new at all. It is as old as 1996 where it appeared in the game "Rocket Jockey".
Still, it's nice to see something like that again. It was good fun back then.

This game reminds me to a racer from Biker Mice From Mars for SNES, who has the same ability to turn around.
