[Soapboxed] Tighten your seatbelts (as if these things even had seatbelts 😂), because the Soapboxed demo is available now!

Yesterday I shared a video about the soapbox racing game I've been working on, some you loved it, some you hated it, but it seems like most found it funny enough so today I'm sharing the news with the community.

The demo is out on Steam so you can play it on Windows and Mac, including split-screen multiplayer.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you have ideas for new cars, tracks, or features, come join the Discord and let's build this game together.

Thank you all for helping make this game a reality. 🙌🏼🙏🏽

Tighten your seatbelts (as if these things even had seatbelts 😂), because the Soapboxed demo is available now!

Yesterday I shared a gif that was like 15FPS and people didn't that, but still found the game funny, so today I'm sharing something more fluid 😂

Also the demo is out on Steam so you can play it on Windows and Mac, including split-screen multiplayer.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you have ideas for new cars, tracks, or features, come join the Discord and let's build this game together.

Thank you all for helping make this game a reality. 🙌🏼🙏🏽 10 :)

Would You Play a Crazy Game Inspired By Red Bull Soapbox Races?

I've been working on this game inspired by Red Bull Soapbox Races, but with fewer rules.

Would you play this game? You can already wishlist on Steam since I'll be launching Early Access soon.

I appreciate your feedback and sorry if this is not the right place to post about it, I just thought some of you might find it interesting.

Thank you all in advance. 🙌🏼 10 :)

CAT-astrophic Escape

Imagine for a second that this is a cat freeing a bunch of other cats.

That would be CAT-astrophic 😂

Any Soapbox Racing Lovers around here?

I've been working on this game, inspired by Red Bull Soapbox Races, and this is one of my favorite combos.

Game inspired by Red Bull Soapbox Races

Is it time for a video game inspired by Red Bull Soapbox races? I'm a fan of these kind of races and have been working on this game for a while. How can I get Red Bull to see this and maybe sponsor? or am I too crazy :(? My apologies if this is not the right place to post about this. 🙏🏽

Soapbox Races in First Person View

I've been working on this first-person view for Soapboxed and I predict this will be one of the funniest additions to the game 😂

The sense of speed feels completely different when you're sitting inside the soapbox. Every bump, jump, near miss and crash suddenly feels way more intense.

Experiencing it from the driver's seat is on another level.

I'm still polishing it, but I wanted to share a little preview because it's already creating some hilarious moments during testing.

If you haven't seen Soapboxed before, it's a chaotic multiplayer soapbox racing game where the goal isn't necessarily to win... It's to make your opponent lose

If that sounds like your kind of chaos, I'd love it if you checked out the Steam page and added it to your wishlist 🙌🏼

Every wishlist helps more than you can imagine and gets us one step closer to launching this crazy thing.

Soapbox races in first-person view... what could possibly go wrong? 😂 (Watch until the end)

Soapbox races in first-person view... what could possibly go wrong? 😂 (Watch until the end)

I was watching Cool Runnings and saw a scene where they crash at top speed from a first-person perspective.

That got me thinking: this could make my soapbox racing game absolutely hilarious.

What do you think?

New Screenshots from My Soapbox Game, Thanks for your help!

After getting really useful feedback from you all, I started gathering a new set of screenshots for Soapboxed.

You told me that:
- The previous screenshots didn’t give players enough context.
- The game itself wasn’t very clear from the images.
- Some screenshots were good, but could be much stronger.
- The previous set lacked composition.

So I went back and tried to improve all of that.

What do you think about this new set? Does it give you that fun, chaotic, comic-style feeling the game is aiming for?

Btw, thank you so much, this community is awesome 🙌🏼🙏🏽.

just submitted my game to Steam

I just submitted my game to Steam so people can wishlist it and learn more about it.

This clip is 100% making it into the trailer 😂

Huge thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey. This is my first game, and honestly… I just hope I don’t crash like these two dudes 😂💀

Just some screenshots from my soapbox racing game

Been taking screenshots for the Steam page. Which of these feel the strongest to you?. Should I just start all over again 😂?

Would You Wishlist When I Launch on Steam? 🙏🏽

I’m preparing the game for its Steam launch, adding more visual variety and making it even more fun with new cars, characters, and tracks.

I honestly think online multiplayer is the feature that could make this game 10x better, so that’s what I’ll be tackling after launch.

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far. If you’d wishlist the game when it goes live on Steam, a like or comment would mean a lot 🙏🏽

Just Thank You! 🙌🏼

I wanted to sell my game but didn’t have a Steam page yet (which costs $100). So I started thinking about this: Can the game itself make those $100?

Then something magical happened.

I started offering early copies of the game to friends and people on the internet who had been engaging with my posts and following the development journey.

And little by little, they started supporting the project.

Some bought the game early. Some donated a few dollars. Some simply shared the posts and helped more people discover it.

And somehow… together we actually funded the Steam page 😭

Soapbox cars, bad driving physics, and internet strangers really made this happen.

The Steam page will be launching soon, and every single person who helped support the game this early will have their name in the credits because this genuinely would not have happened without them.

Sometimes when you’re building something, it feels like nobody cares. But there are people out there who really do want to see you win.

Thank you for believing in this weird little game ❤️

Salento de noche - Nuevo nivel

Hace unos días les compartí un nivel que hice para mi juego de carreras de soapboxes (carros hechos en casa o de balineras, lol) al que nombré Salento, basado en los pueblos cafeteros de Colombia. Ahora cree una version más colorida y en la noche. Que opinan? Ya estoy cerca de lanzarlo en steam 💚🥹

“The goal isn’t to win. It’s to make your opponent lose.” - Soap Tzu 😂

I'm polishing my game for Steam and getting it ready for Early Access

It’s a chaotic multiplayer racing game where you speed downhill in ridiculous homemade soapbox cars

What would you love to see in a game like this?

  • Crazy tracks?
  • Customizable carts?
  • Destruction?
  • Online tournaments?

Would love to hear your ideas

Race as a retired grandpa in his wheelchair 😂

I made a game where you race as a retired grandpa in his wheelchair, or boat, or... Shopping cart? 😂

Estoy haciendo un videojuego desde Colombia y decidí nombrar este nivel “Salento” 🇨🇴

Quería que tuviera un poco de esa energía de los pueblos cafeteros, las casas coloridas y el caos de los animales en la carretera 😅 Que opinan? (solo cosas positivas jajaja, mentiras en serio que piensan, palo también, les gustaría ver más?)

My son beat me at my own game 😂 Literally

This is a short race we had testing split-screen. What other features would make this game even funnier?
