We’ve all had those days at the office. You’re staring at a spreadsheet, your coffee is lukewarm, and you secretly wish you could hurl a stapler at your boss or launch a rubber band barrage across the cubicles.
Well, the indie developers at Zatun heard your silent corporate screams. Get ready to trade your ergonomic chair for a motorised cardboard box, because the ultimate workplace racing riot is officially on the horizon in the new game Kartboard Dash.
The Premise: The Cubicle is Your Racetrack
Kartboard Dash is a chaotic, fast-paced arcade kart racer that takes place entirely within the confines of a sprawling, highly detailed corporate office. The tracks weave through cluttered desks, dangerous breakrooms, treacherous copy machine corridors, and the dreaded executive boardroom.
You play as various stressed-out office archetypes—from the overworked intern to the power-tripping middle manager—all racing for the ultimate prize: getting your weekend PTO approved.
The Arsenal: Desktop Warfare
What sets Kartboard Dash apart from your standard kart racer is its brilliant, hilarious weaponry. Forget red shells and banana peels; this game turns standard-issue stationery into tools of absolute destruction.
- The Stapler Shotgun: Blast a spread of heavy-duty staples to spin out rivals right before the finish line.
- The Rubber Band Slingshot: Snare the racer ahead of you and slingshot past them using pure kinetic tension.
- The Hot Coffee Slick: Blind your opponents or make them slide uncontrollably across the polished linoleum floors.
- The Post-it Note Smoke Screen: Plaster a rival’s screen with neon sticky notes to completely block their view.
High-Octane Customization
Half the fun is building your ride. Players start with a basic cardboard Amazon delivery box and can unlock upgrades using “Company Credits” earned during races.
Want to attach rolling office chair wheels for better drifting? Do it. Want to strap a leaf-blower to the back for a nitrous boost? Go right ahead. You can even customise your driver with ridiculous corporate attire, from coffee-stained ties to full business-casual armour.
Why It’s on Our Radar
Aside from the relatable and funny concept, the game features incredibly tight drifting mechanics, satisfying physics, and an absolute banger of a lo-fi/synth-wave soundtrack that mimics elevator music on steroids.
With both 4-player local split-screen and online multiplayer, Kartboard Dash is shaping up to be the perfect party game to play with your actual coworkers after hours. Just try not to take the grudges back to the real office on Monday.
Final Verdict (For Now)
Kartboard Dash takes the mundane dread of a 9-to-5 and injects it with pure, unadulterated adrenaline. It’s colourful, frantic, and wonderfully petty. Keep your eyes peeled on Steam and consoles for this one—it’s time to clock in and freak out.
