Hoone 1.0: the first island

Hoone is out. Today the first island, Hoone #1, opens for everyone. From now on there is a new one every day at midnight Central time (US). Here is what is in the first release.

A new island every day

• Every island is built in code from the day's seed, so everyone drives exactly the same map.
• Race from the start to the goal. The road is the safe way. Walls, rivers, cliffs and other barriers between its stretches hide risky shortcuts.
• Wall rides, kickers, forks, jumps over gaps and sometimes a climb up a cliff.
• Tries are unlimited and only your best time counts. Older islands stay playable from the results pages.

Ghosts, replays and the leaderboard

• Every finished run is recorded. Race against the ghost of any run on the board, or watch its replay with the keys the driver pressed.
• The daily leaderboard ranks one best time per player. "Day of" counts runs driven on the island's own day.
• The results pages keep every day's final board, and every racer gets a public profile with their daily places.

17 cars, one set of physics

• The Steppe is free. 5 more cars are in the shop, and 11 are earned with long-term goals, up to the Chicken Hut.
• Every car drives exactly the same and has the same size. Cars only change how you look and sound, never your time.
• Free and earned cars unlock more paints as you play, up to Gold, the hardest one. Paid cars come with all their paints.

Play anywhere

• Runs in the browser on desktop and phones. No download.
• Keyboard, gamepad and touch controls. Every key can be changed in the settings.
• No account needed. Sign in with email to keep your progress and your cars on every device.
• In English and German.
