Incredible Soapbox Racing Game, Zeepkist, Receives Online Multiplayer

Developer Steelpan Interactive has announced the latest update for their fun soapbox racing game Zeepkist which adds online multiplayer alongside a slew of other new additions.

Steelpan Interactive – aka solo developer Yannic Geurts – has announced the much-anticipated online multiplayer update for Zeepkist. Until now, players could only enjoy Zeepkist with their friends via split screen multiplayer. Now, with the new update installed, they’ll be able to play with up to 16 other players in online multiplayer. Additionally, the update also brings a slew of other changes including new cosmetics, achievements and customisations for the level editor. Geurts spoke about bringing online multiplayer to Zeepkist.

“I’d always been a bit hesitant to add online multiplayer, as you often hear stories of the incredible amount of work such an undertaking entails. But after overwhelming interest from the community, I decided to bite the sour apple and just dig into it. Three months later (and a lot of headaches), it’s finally done! And I’ll be honest, I was extremely worth it. Playtests proved online multiplayer to be a literal game changer, Zeepkist is so much fun when playing with friends online!”
