Hey Beach Buggy Blitz / Beach Buggy Racing fans, guess what? McSkelly is back just in time for Halloween which we’re celebrating here in the U.S. (and Canada!). Not only is he sporting a cool new look, but he’s also sporting a new vehicle: a ghoulishly sleek hearse. Be sure to check it out ASAP! Always nice to see a familiar face … er … skull.

One of the most oft-repeated questions we get from fans is "When are your games coming to Windows Phone?" Well guess what Windows Phone lovers, your time has come!
Over the next 2 months we'll be releasing not just one, not two, but THREE of our most popular games on Windows Phone 8.1. Beach Buggy Racing, Riptide GP2, and Shine Runner will all come to the platform during the month of November.
Beach Buggy Racing and Shine Runner will also join Riptide GP2 in the regular Windows 8.1 App Store. So whether you're playing on a Windows phone, tablet, or desktop PC, Vector Unit's got you covered.
The exact release schedule is as follows:
We had previously reported that Riptide GP2 would be coming to Windows Phone the first week in October. However, working closely with Microsoft we decided it would be better to hold Riptide GP2 a little longer so we can bring it along with our two other games in November. Sorry for those of you who are disappointed at the delay, but we hope you agree it'll be worth the wait!
Our new kart racing game Beach Buggy Racing™ is now available on the Amazon Appstore, for Fire TV, Kindle Fire tablets, and Fire Phone. Heck, you can get it for your regular Android phone too!
The Amazon version uses Game Circle for Achievemetns and Leaderboards, and your Amazon account for cloud syncing.
The experience is extra-special on FireTV, where if you have a couple of controllers you can enjoy split screen kart racing goodness the way it was meant to be played! Heck, it even works with one player on the remote and another player on a controller!
HUZZAH! After more than a year of working, polish, tuning, and playing, the Vectcor Unit team is proud to announce the release of our fifth mobile game, Beach Buggy Racing™!
As these badges probably tell you, the game is currently available for iOS and Android. In the coming weeks, BBR will also be coming to Amazon Kindle devices, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1. Stay tuned for those announcements.
We could tell you about the game... or you could just sit back and watch our brand new trailer!
Thanks to all our fans who have been patiently waiting for this game, particularly to those of you who only emailed us every OTHER week to ask when it is coming out. We appreciate your support, and really hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we've enjoyed working on it.
...Which, by the way, we are still doing! We plan on releasing a couple of updates in the coming months, including new powerups, new characters and cars, and more!
Thanks to everyone who's been helping us test the game! We may open the beta up again at some point, for now we're not taking new testers.
The original post follows:
-------------------------------
If you have an Android phone or tablet and would like to play a beta version of Beach Buggy Racing before anyone else, please join our Public Beta!

Click this link to join the Beach Buggy Racing public beta group
You'll be asked to apply, and you'll receive a response within 24 hours, after which you'll have full access to the game and the feedback forums.
We really value your feedback and can't wait to hear what you think of the game!
When we originally announced Beach Buggy Racing™ at Google I/O, our plan was to release it in August. At least that's what we told everybody. But the game just keeps getting better the more we work on it, and we have decided to push it back another month to give us more time to make it really solid before we ship.
So our new ship estimate is "September 2014".
We're shooting for mid-September, but it's possible it'll be a little later. We'll announce a specific date a couple of weeks before it actually ships.
For those of you who just can't wait to get your hands on our newest creation, we are going to open up a public Beta test period sometime in the next 2 weeks. During this time you'll be able to play the almost-finished game and give feedback directly to the team.
This public Beta is only going to be available to Android users, at least at first.
Stay tuned for a specific announcement and instructions on how to sign up for the Beta, and play Beach Buggy Racing before anybody else!
