Addressing some email questions:
Cosmic Cart Racing has 3 gameplay options:
1) Standalone play - Up to 4 players can join a single game on one machine. Each player races a heat. Win the race to move on; otherwise your game is over. Circuit races alternate with time trials. Fastest times are tracked in high score tables for time trials.
2) LAN play - Up to 4 machines can connect to each other over Wi-Fi locally, allowing 4-way head-to-head racing. Just like most race-based arcade games, LAN play is a single-race.
3) WAN play (coming soon) - Same as LAN play but over the internet. You can either register a new race with a server or join somebody else's race.
Gameplay is what you would expect a cart-style racing game to be... high pressure shot making, smooth flowing shots, and strategy with use of powerups. This is NOT a traditional 3-ball game. It's a racing game... hit your shots and go faster. Miss your shots and slow down. Drain the ball and spin out. Race until you complete the track or you run out of fuel.
We'll get some video of 4-player racing at TPF.
