VEKTOR 2089, a retro inspired fast-paced racer is planning to come to Linux, I think it looks great and it needs a boost on Steam Greenlight. Yes, Greenlight still exists.

Check out the trailer:

It has tons of features crammed into it by the looks of it! With a championship mode, split-screen multiplayer, a built in track editor and more.

The developer put out a message on Twitter, as they are having a hard time getting enough votes to pass Steam Greenlight, which is a real shame.

What do you think? Looks pretty cool. It looks like something I might have played on the Amiga years ago!

Even if the game doesn't manage to get on Steam, it will be coming to itch.io. The developer said on the itch.io forum a few days ago they plan to launch it in around a months time. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The gameplay looks pretty good! Fluid motion, nice mechanics, everything looks very playable, but I'm already getting a bit of a headache just watching the trailer due to the giant pixels moving by so fast. I think if they upped the resolution a bit, maybe going for more of an Amiga 1200 / AGA look, it would work much better!

I'd maybe consider it on my mobile phone. Maybe.
