Kart racing for Windows

Race for love.

Romeo wants to win Aurora's heart – and the Coppa del Cuore. Twenty tracks through an Italy in love, seven rivals who are anything but gentlemen, a storm witch, and a hedgehog king who defends his fortress.

A little love story

Five cups. One heart.

After every cup, Aurora waits on her palace loggia. Win, and the story moves on – with waving, roses, fireworks and a rival who just won't give up. He even sends the forest witch Strega Ortica after you, from the beaches of Sicily into a thunderstorm in the Enchanted Forest.

Win the last cup and Aurora wants to drive herself: in her white-and-gold carriage drawn by two rainbow unicorns – the fastest vehicle in the game.

Twenty tracks

From the vineyards to the stars

Every track has its own theme, music and surprises: rolling lemons, lava fountains, carnival floats, windmills, ice and conveyor belts, beach chicanes and a thunderstorm – and shortcuts for the brave.

… plus the Alpine Pass, the Gelato Factory, Mill Country, Carnival Town, the Rock of San Marino, the Lago Maggiore Beach Rally, Re Riccio's Fortress and Aurora's Palace Garden.

Drivers and vehicles

Pick your rider

Romeo, Mercuzio, Benvolio, Tebaldo, La Balia, Conte Paride, Frate Lorenzo and Re Riccio – light, medium and heavy drivers, each with a favourite vehicle.

  • Scooterino – nimble scooter kart, accelerates like a rocket
  • Phantom – the balanced roadster
  • Saetta GT – sports car with the highest top speed
  • Furgone – heavy gelato van, hard to push around
  • Trattore – dragster tractor: a rocket on the straights, slow in the corners
  • Carrozza – Aurora's unicorn carriage, to unlock

Roses and the fairground

Collect roses, win power-ups

Every player collects their own roses on the track – nobody can steal them. Spend them at the fairground and take up to three power-ups into your next race. Switch between them with Tab or Y.

What's in the box

Everything a kart racer needs

Drift boost

Hold the drift, watch the sparks change colour, release for a turbo in three stages. Rocket start, slipstream and trick ramps on top.

15 items

Hedgehogs that bounce, an angry hedgehog that homes in, a golden eagle for the leader, a thieving magpie, a mandolin shockwave and a thunderbolt.

Up to four players, one screen

Two players split horizontally or vertically, three or four in quarters – keyboard and controllers mixed as you like.

Three modes

Championship with five cups, single race with your choice of laps, and training with the ideal racing line. Gold everywhere on hard unlocks turbo and berserker mode.

AI with character

Three difficulty levels: easy is relaxed, hard drifts, takes shortcuts and saves the eagle for the right moment. Or put everyone in the same vehicle.

Music for every track

Barcarolle in Venice, tarantella in Naples, a waltz in the clouds – fifteen original pieces with a final-lap switch, plus engines synthesized in real time.

Made entirely of code

No textures, no models, no audio files: everything is generated when the game starts. The whole game is about three megabytes.

4K, HDR, high frame rates

DirectX 12 with real HDR output. On weaker graphics cards you lower the render resolution – menus stay sharp.

No strings attached

Bought once, yours to keep: no ads, no in-game purchases, no account, no internet connection, no data collection.

Questions

Is there a free demo?

No. Romeo Racer costs a one-time price in the Microsoft Store; the Store's refund rules apply.

Can several people play on one PC?

Yes – up to four in split screen. The keyboard serves two players (WASD and the arrow keys), everyone else plays with a controller.

Which controllers work?

Xbox controllers and other XInput gamepads. Every keyboard key can be remapped in the options.

Does the game need an internet connection?

No. It never connects to the internet and collects no data. Your progress, profiles and roses stay on your PC.

How do I unlock Aurora?

Win gold in the Coppa Stella, the last cup – at any difficulty.

My graphics card is older. Will it run?

It needs DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6. If the frame rate is low, set the render resolution in the options to 75 % or 50 %.

Which languages are included?

German, English, French and Italian – menus, subtitles and the store listing.
