Steelpan Interactive has released a huge update for their co-operative soapbox racer, Zeepkist, including new cosmetics, materials and gameplay elements.
Zeepkist Version 5 Update
Following last month’s Steam Workshop update that added workshop support and the sharing of levels between players, Steelpan Interactive has released the Version 5 update. Throughout Zeepkist’s time in Early Access, it has grown substantially, with significant updates being released frequently. Version 5 is no exception as it aims to add a slew of new content to the game in order to improve the player’s overall experience.
The new content being added includes new adventure levels, halfpipe and “sausage blocks”, neon and sand materials to build with, sticky cactuses and tumbleweeds to add additional distractions to racetracks, as well as a Synthwave skybox.
There is a whole lot more coming, and we’ll list everything that’s changing below. If you want to read the community post with all the changes present, then you can do so here. Now is the best time to pick up Zeepkist and play with your friends. We got a chance to review it a while back and immediately fell in love. Be sure to head on over to its Steam store page and pick it up.
