One of the very first things you’ll notice about Platform Racing 2 is that it is almost purely user created. That’s right. Instead of tucking away the design tools in a secret vault in Nevada, the game creator placed them right inside the game. Do you want a level that is super easy to help you hone your skills? Make it. Do you want a level that is so excruciatingly hard that it will make even hardcore gamers scream and toss their computers out the window? Go ahead, make it.
Races sometimes offer extra body parts so you can customize your character.
Most platformers have payers run, jump, and dodge their ways through a series of levels, trying only to get from start to finish. Platform Racing 2 doesn’t follow this formula. Instead, it pits you against up to 3 other people in a race to the finish. Along the way, you’ll find powerups to help you gain an edge over your competitors à la MarioKart. Grab a speed boost, a jetpack, or even a bolt of lightning that stops opponents dead in their tracks.
As a reward, players receive XP based on how many opponents they beat through the level. There’s a bit of consolation XP too, even if you come in last place. The more XP you gain, the higher you level. The higher you level, the more races will be available to you and the higher you can crank your stats.
On top of XP, sometimes races offer body parts for the player who comes in first place. These go into your inventory, and you can use them to customize the look of your character. And for further customization, you can sometimes earn hats that give you permanent bonuses. Players often have these hats knocked off by obstacles on the course, so watch out for those explosive blocks! If you beat your opponents to the fallen item, you can wear it on top of yours. So while you can’t go into a race wearing more than one hat, it is quite possible to finish wearing four. And yes, you would receive the bonuses from all four hats combined. (Hint: if you play Platform Racing 2 on Kongregate, you’ll be given an exclusive K hat that gives you 1.25x the XP gain.)
Platform Racing 2 has sort of a homemade look to it, but don’t let that distract you from the addictive gameplay. Build your own custom levels and add some friends for a truly wonderful gaming experience.
The level editor allows you to create your own levels from scratch.
