Failpoint

This game is a submission to HEJ 2026 February.

This is a 2-4 player shared screen game.

Failpoint is a local multiplayer cart game, where players need to trigger the next checkpoint and fall from the map to spawn back at the next checkpoint.

This is a small POC for the mechanic implemented as a cart game. Some UI elements are broken, and restart / replay is only possible through the START button. If the players start racing before the game is ready, it's recommended to do a restart.

Developer: Norbert Kis-Szabo

Controls:

Controller:

- Left stick to steer
- Left trigger to break
- Right trigger to accelerate 

- Left stick press to ready

The game can be fully reset with the long press of the START button, or they can quit if they hold the START button for a longer period.
