We can't promise anything at the moment, but we would love to add multiplayer and co-op if there will be enough interest from the community.

Physical boardgame will support multiple players at least :P

Came to suggest adding a slot for a second player car on the road to coop with.

OMG, not ANOTHER game released without MP. This is getting ridiculous. I and 2 friends had this wish-listed and were all set to buy it. It never occurred to us it would not have MP.

UN- WISHLISTED.

I'm sure everyone who plays this would agree multiplayer and coop would be cool.

Definitely not everyone. I exclusively like physical games for multiplayer and digital games for single player. This game's dual development of physical multiplayer and digital singleplayer is perfect.

I hope they make the multiplayer option.. Me and some of my friends were really looking forward to that.. I will buy the single player version.. but not sure many of my friends will without the multiplayer.

i would LOVE multiplayer. Having a tournament mode where its you versus people instead of bosses would be cool, and a co-op mode would also be amazing! I could def see it becoming a popular competitive game

We can't promise anything right now, but... we will see.

I know you can't promise it, and no one should expect such a thing from you this early into development of the game but...

If you are to add multiplayer, I'd like it to be board-game style, where the players are automatically assigned to one of the starting routes instead of being allowed to select it, but you do get to select the sponsor for your route.
If you've finished your current tile, it should wait for everyone else to finish theirs, and the inverse if you're taking longer than everyone else.
Turns in Road Battles and shopping would be timed, so that you don't waste everyone else's time. If you run out of time in a turn during a road battle, it ends the turn and moves on to the opponent's turn. If you run out of time in a shop, it closes forcibly and moves you to the next tile.
Running into another player on the same tile doesn't automatically start combat, instead it asks the prompt: "Do you wish to challenge this racer?" and if at least one player says "Yes", then combat begins, otherwise the battle is skipped and the racers go on their own separate ways.
If it is the last tile on the map, you will be forced into a battle with all remaining players to conclude the race in a grand finale.
As soon as all other players are defeated, it skips to the ending where you claim victory and enter the city.

In addition, I think if you were to add multiplayer like this, it should be competitive with a ranking system, granting points based on success in matches.
Multiplayer would have to be locked behind first unlocking at least two extra cars and two extra racers, so that you aren't too limited in your options if you wish to go head to head right away after buying the game, and so that players aren't so inexperienced that going straight into multiplayer detracts from their enjoyment with the game. It also would discourage making alts to smurf.

Why do I see "multee playuh plz" on every steam thread? Would it even make sense for this type of game? I think not. Please, developer, do not waste your time on this when you could be improving the balance, adding new enemies, adding new weapons, adding new road tiles, etc.
