Freeverse announces SlotZ Racer for the iPhone and iPod touch

This looks interesting! A way to race when you can’t make it to the shop! In my experience with past Freeverse games I’ve always been impressed and had a lot of fun playing their games. I’ll report on this one when it is available in a few weeks! Press release below.

Freeverse announces SlotZ Racer for the iPhone and iPod touch

Macworld Expo, San Francisco - January 7, 2009 - Freeverse today announced the upcoming release of SlotZ Racer, the ultimate slot car racing game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Developed by Strange Flavour, the creators of Flick Fishing, SlotZ Racer puts the thrill of realistic 3D slot cars in the palm of your hand. Relive those great childhood memories of building tracks, burning rubber, and racing with your friends and family! SlotZ Racer will be released within the next few weeks.

SlotZ Racer lets players race against the computer or friends; a unique control system allows up to 4 people to race on a single iPhone! Compete for laps or against the clock in Time Trials, drive an endurance race, (with simulated days and nights), or play a ‘Quick Race’ to jump straight into the action. SlotZ Racer features an intuitive track editor to give the player the ultimate freedom to design their very own courses, and offers a wide selection of cars to race. The game also includes unlockable new circuits, cars, track locations and championship challenges to keep the action exciting and fresh!

Set up your track to be 2 or 4 lanes, clip together track pieces, or even build a complete club style circuit. Players have the option to play with lane changing, or fixed lanes for the racing purists.
