Fastival is a vibrant, cartoony arcade racing game developed by students at SMU Guildhall, where players race through various attractions within a lively carnival setting.

Key features of the game include:

• Diverse Bumper Cars: Choose from four unique bumper cars, each with distinct driving strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the Shark car offers higher top speed but is more challenging to control, while the Vintage car accelerates slower but is heavier, allowing for more effective drifting.

• Interactive Racetracks: Knock down targets during races to trigger temporary effects on the track. Some targets reveal shorter paths, while others activate hazards that opponents must avoid, adding strategic elements to each race.

• Wacky Items: Collect carnival tickets to obtain one of five fun items. Use a firecracker to launch forward with temporary invincibility or throw water balloons at other racers to spin them out, enhancing the competitive and playful nature of the game.

• Three Unique Tracks: Race through different sections of the carnival, each with its own theme. Navigate tight turns around a merry-go-round, dodge giant whack-a-moles, zoom across a roller coaster, fly through rings of fire, and get launched by a cannon into a big-top circus tent. 

• Customization: Personalize your racer by mixing and matching between four cute costumes and color palettes, allowing for a tailored racing experience.
