WIMO Games sets the checkered flag for an early 2024 finish line

AUSTIN – December 6, 2023 – Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem, the toy car racing and track creation game from WIMO Games in collaboration with global branded entertainment leader Hasbro, roars to life on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2023 on Meta Quest 2 & 3, and SteamVR, as announced at the December 2023 UploadVR Showcase.

Create the fantastical tracks of nostalgic childhood dreams with Micro Machine toys and plastic tracks. The VR tools with Mini Challenge Mayhem supplies aspiring engineers with everything they need to create incredible tracks that defy physics. Then race cars through them, using the throttle to push the pedal to the tiny metal and using speed intelligently around corners.

Make tracks in a virtual world, or use Mixed Reality to meld them withbring them as close as possible into the real world. Send cars through floating raceways in the kitchen and do loop-de-loops around family pets. Drive through a portal in the bedroom out to the living room, all with a simple-to-use interface utilizing VR controllers.

Creation and racing combine in the Campaign mode, where objectives include racing for the fastest time, or scoring points by performing stunts. Proving worthy of those feats means unlocking new track and car parts to help perfect everything from drag-racing times to amplifying the total and wanton destruction only a (miniature) monster truck can levy.

“Hasbro’s Micro Machines fuel the imagination, and virtual reality platforms provide a perfect sandbox to take creativity to the next level,” said Dave Rosen, CEO of WIMO Games. “Whether Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem inspires gamers to create unique VR tracks or embrace mixed-reality with racing in their own homes, we want everyone to embrace the passion of childhood and unleash their imagination.”

Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem releases on Thursday, January 4 for Meta Quest 2 & 3,  PSVR2, and Steam VR. Preorder the game on the Meta Store for an exclusive car.

Play the Free Demo on Steam Now!

(Villeurbanne, France) – December 6th, 2023 – Old Skull Games revealed, during the PC Gaming Show, its thrilling rogue-lite dungeon crawler, Cryptical Path. Available now to demo on Steam, Cryptical Path sees players controlling the Architect, building their own path and navigating an ever-changing labyrinth within which they’ve been trapped. The game pushes the boundaries of the rogue-lite genre as it is the very first action rogue-builder allowing players to add a new creative angle to their style of play.

Watch the Announcement Trailer below

In Cryptical Path, players will try to escape the ominous depths of the Hexium, a prison forged by their own hands and designed to confine malevolent souls. During their runs, players unravel the mysteries of their creation, navigating treacherous landscapes where every shadow conceals a potential threat, and where every step forward brings them closer to the wrath of those they have condemned to an eternity of darkness.

The game is primarily focused on action but opens a new field of possibilities with its building aspect through the Hexium map, a quick and easy-to-use feature that can be accessed at any time. Players can indeed shape the dungeon to their playstyle or current predicament by adjusting upcoming rooms and their content at key stages of a run.

Cryptical Path’s key features:

• Unique Mix of Rogue-lite and Building Mechanics: Players can carve the dungeon to their liking and needs.
• Ambitious Art Style: Players will explore a 2D side-scroller with a strong creative choice of 3D graphics.
• Fast-paced Action: Embody the Architect, a dynamic character that can dodge, dash and slash in the blink of an eye!

“For the first time in a rogue-lite game, players can have an impact, to an extent, on the actual procedural generation of the game itself. Our goal is to provide players with tools to mess with established rules of the genre,” said Jérémy Boisson, game director at Old Skull Games. “In Cryptical Path, players can modify the dungeon by building rooms in real-time and be really creative with it, reducing randomness while adding a strategic layer.”
