Latest Steam announcements

  • New Game Release: Rebound Express - 21 May 2025

    Hey everyone, I'm excited to share something new I’ve been working on — a small side project that came out of a one-week game jam: Rebound Express — a fast-paced 2D physics puzzle game about delivering bouncing boxes with speed and style. It plays like building your own Rube Goldberg machine: you set up platforms, ramps, and rebound pads to guide parcels to their destination as efficiently as possible. Each level is short, snappy, and designed for quick retries and high-score chases. It also features online leaderboards if you're into optimizing runs and flexing your engineering precision. It’s light, casual, and fun, and if you enjoyed AV-Racer, I’d really appreciate the support if you grabbed a copy when it drops. Launching next month! wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3729350/Rebound_Express/ Thanks and all the love, – Wassim

  • 1.3.61 Increased furthest camera distance - 13 August 2022

    Some players find the camera way too close at its farthest. I increased the range of the zoom to go farther back. You could, however, see blackness beyond the edges of maps with this, but everything else should work fine. - Wassim

  • 1.3.6 Steam Achievements! - 28 July 2022

    As per request, we finally have Steam Achievements! There should be 23 of them, covering the basic trophies, plus a little extra. You can also get achievements for how many points you make in Career. This is a first step in Steam API integration, I am planning to implement more things related to Steam in the future. The game should detect your current progress and give you overdue trophies, so your progress isn't lost. Hope you like this one! -Wassim

  • 1.3.52 Added MPH units support - 20 July 2022

    You only speak FREEDOM? As per request you can now change the units between KMH and MPH in the "Game" settings menu.

  • Official Speedrun and Lap times leaderboard - 15 July 2022

    Thanks to Sneb1, we have an official Speedrun.com page where you can submit your best lap times and see how fast other people are doing. While a Steam leadboard integration is something I plan to add at some point, this is definitly a great way to show your driving skills in the game in an organized way. That platform would also be a good place for future contests, with enough participants we can organize official time trial championships and feature winner names inside the game. So head over to your favorite track, hit record, and try to set the fastest time you can, I will too, see you out there! Link: https://www.speedrun.com/avr

  • 1.3.51: Added WASD support - 4 July 2022

    While custom key configurations are preferrable, I only have limited time currently so I decided to push a small update to at least support the option to use WASD instead of arrows. When the keyboard is the selected controller, you should be able to control the cars with either key sets interchangeably. -Wassim

  • Update 1.3.50: New best lap records board - 14 June 2022

    As requested by players, the game now has a records board with the best lap times in every track and in each car class, acessible from the main menu. The records are universal across all saves and outside of career, except for split screen mode. Anytime you run a faster lap on a track the board gets updated. Thank you very much for playing AV-Racer, if there is any issues, please report them. Now show us what is your best time! -Wassim

  • 1.3.45 Minor fix: handbrake mechanics - 11 June 2022

    Fixed an issue where the handbrake doesn't work on controllers, and improved the responsiveness of the car to intentional sliding with the handbrake. Now you can use the handbrake to your advantage by sliding the car around tight corners. -Wassim

  • 1.3.44 Small career and difficulty patch - 29 May 2022

    Shortened number of laps in career championships a bit. Most tracks in career are one lap shorter. In the World Championship they're 10 laps a race instead of 12. Some users also find the game too difficult so I reduced the "Very Easy" difficulty further. This should not affect the rest of the difficulties. -Wassim

  • 1.3.43: Fixed an issue that causes blank screens on computers with AMD GPUs - 26 May 2022

    Some players with machines using a dedicated AMD GPU cards reported experienceing blank TV-Screens when starting the game. This was due to a malfunctioning shader on these machines. The problem was hard to pin down because some AMD GPUs had no issues with it. The fix was defining floating number bounds when used within a modulo function in the shader code. If you face any other issues, don't hesitate to report it. Thank you for supporting this little project! -Wassim

  • Fixed post processing bugs on AMD integrated graphics - 21 May 2022

    Driver optimization someitmes causes handling of OpenGL uniform locations to get invalid values if the driver misoptimizes the shader. Fixed the issue by explicitly defining Uniform locations on the shaders and in the game code. This shouldn't affect anyone who hasn't faced an issue with post processing effects.

  • Av-Racer is released! - 20 May 2022

    At last! it is out. Hope you like it, it was a fun journey to make this little game since the start of the year. The game has 24 tracks but only 2 are unlocked at the start. There is also 5 car classes with only the first unlocked. So make sure you progress through career to unlock more tracks and cars. If you are interested, you can read about how the game was made in this devlog: https://wassimulator.com/blog/programming/av-racer-overview.html Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you face any problems. Or post on the Steam community. Thank you for playing the game, I hope you enjoy it. - Wassim

  • Releasing this Friday! - 18 May 2022

    All things are set, game tested, assets packed, and we're locked and loaded. Prepare your proverbial helmets, the game is coming out on Friday! Can't wait. :) -Wassim

Short description

A 2D top down retro style arcade racing game, with career and two player split screen modes.

About this game

Remember those old console racing games we grew up playing on the small CRT boxes? AV-Racer is a 2D top down retro style arcade racing game inspired in style by that nostalgia and in gameplay by the spirit of retro arcaders. Features CRT style graphics: Convex screen, curved edges, scan-lines, RGB shift, static, and on/off TV effects are emulated to chase that feeling of childhood nostalgia in games. NOTE: These effects are toggleable and can be turned off in the game settings. Fast paced and challenging racing: Push will come to shove in this one. Paint the roads with tire tracks and cover your opponents with smoke as you battle for first in a fast paced circuit racing format. Learn the track and memorize the corners to nail your approach. Utilize going offtrack and cutting corners to your advantage and slide ahead the competition. Race up to 10 drivers, against a challenging AI system. No rubber banding, no handicaps, no artificial boosts, learn the track, take corners right and you will get ahead. 14 different race locations: Race at 14 different locations with 24 different track setups. Hand crafted tracks with corners inspired by famous tracks around the world. Look out for Easter Eggs! 5 different car classes and championships: Climb your way from the Junior league to the World Series in 5 car classes. Collect trophies in 5 different championships; Junior, Senior, Professional, Endurance, and World Championship. Progress in the career to unlock car classes and tracks to play in single player and split screen Split-Screen local Multiplayer mode: Share the crazy action with a friend and compete locally in a Two-Player mode against each other or with AI, using the tracks an cars unlocked in Career.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

AV-Racer's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

AV-Racer's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records AV-Racer at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
