Grab a shopping cart. Point it downhill. Hope for the best.
Loose Change is a downhill shopping cart racing game. Push off, tuck in and bomb down steep streets against rival riders, dodging traffic, pedestrians and bins, then spend your winnings on a faster cart.
The hills
- Maple Hill: leafy suburbs, gentle bends, speed bumps that throw you in the air.
- Hyde Street: steep city drops between tower blocks, with traffic pulling out of the side streets.
- Suicide Hill: a winding mountain road with a long drop on one side. Don't miss a corner.
- Free Ride: no rivals, no entry fee, just you and a stopwatch.
Career
Race best-of-three matches against AI rivals to win prize money and unlock the next hill. In the garage, build your cart from 6 bodies, 6 fronts, 6 sets of wheels and 5 motors, paint it in one of 10 colours, and dress your rider from the s&box wardrobe. Crashes wear your parts down, so keep them polished.
Race your ghost
Every run is recorded. Beat your best time and your run becomes a see-through ghost you race against next time, with your gap shown at every checkpoint. Set the fastest time on a hill and you hold the world record: everyone else gets to chase your gold ghost.
Play with friends
Host a game and your friends join from the game list or your Steam friends list. Pick a hill together (anything someone in the lobby has unlocked), fill the grid with AI rivals if you like, and settle it best of three.
Watch out for
- Cars and trucks turning out of side streets
- Pedestrians crossing (they don't come off well)
- Bins, boxes, cones and falling rocks
- Grass: it'll bog you down
- Hitting anything too hard: you'll go over the handle
