D'oh! We fixed the bug that failed to award achievements. IMPORTANT: The game should grant you any achievements that were unlocked previously. However, you might have to play and finish a race first -- once you do that, you should be granted any backlogged achievements.

We are excited to announce a first for Beach Buggy Racing: A brand new, limited edition Rez plush toy! We are crowdfunding this toy on Makeship now through April 5. Order your Rez plush today! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36823338/f44da4004d772d4ccbb81d495c7e7368dd28e2f9.png Several months ago we asked Beach Buggy Racing fans on our Discord Server to find out which character they most wanted to see as a plush toy. Rez won the vote, and we went straight to work with our friends at Makeship to design a toy that perfectly captures Rez's smirky attitude. Here's how the crowdfunding works: We need to sell at

You may have recently read our surprise announcement that the super-fun and ultra-wacky Oddball Car Pack is shipping out in a couple of weeks. Maybe you were excited! Maybe you thought, "Man, I cannot wait to get my hands on that massive Commander tank car and smash me some rocks and yeti." Perhaps you said to yourself, "Jehoshaphat! The only thing that could make my custom Cars that Go Boom race events any better would be if those cars were all toilets!" Mayhap you entertained a notion such as, "Tarnation!

Now building against SDL 2.0.16, in order to fix a new crash introduced with the previous version. The previous version was upgraded from SDL 2.0.12 to 2.0.15 in order to support PS5 DualSense Controllers. This seems to have caused a new crash on start-up for some specific device configurations. But that's all fixed now. OH, and super awesome bonus surprise -- we also introduced a new car paint family, the Chrome Paints! Shiny, metallic, reflective, and oh-so-did-I-already-say-shiny, these new paints will blind your opponents with the awesome power of shine. Enjoy.

Hi all! Hope you're having a great summer. This update primarily updates our controller libraries to add support for the PlayStation 5 "DualSense" controllers. Fixed a couple odds & ends here & there too. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! This update fixes a few bugs, like that crazy Haze of Confusion one where if you pass through TWO confusion clouds and then crash and respawn your controls are permanently reversed. We thought about calling that a "feature".... but then we came to our senses and fixed it. More importantly, this update paves the way for the Hot Wheels Booster Pack DLC which is going live on May 12. You need this update if you want to get a taste of that sweet sweet Hot Wheels action. You also need this update if you want to see actual Hot Wheels cars on your leaderboard instead of words like "HWRip
