The video of it does look awesome.

In the press release it mentions that it'll be free on the itunes app store in the first 24 hours, is that the same for androids too? Don't want the people suffering from iSmugness to have all the fun wink
I've just chatted amongst us here to check that we can do this, and the word is yes, it will also be free for the first 24 hours on Android.

Hang on, you're going to have to simplify this for complete idiots like me...

I can download Carmageddon on my Android phone for free??? Oh my god, when is it available?

Over the moon!

"Summer", although the Android development is a bit behind iOS, so it's likely to be late summer, maybe even spilling into the autumn. If you miss the "first 24-hours for free offer", then it still won't cost you much (we've not set final prices yet).

How did I miss this!

I spent most of my childhood on Carmageddon! It is YOU who is responsible for my warped mind hehe

Also I loved the physics engine in Carmageddon 2, was great fun being able to destroy the cars in so many different ways biggrin

Will definitely be getting the next one smile

Glad to have been of service sir!

By "getting the next one" I am of course sure you really mean "pledging on Kickstarter".... ;-)

Just pledged $25.00 smile rather small compared to most on here but I'm only a lowly student hehe

My $50 pledge is paying off!! I have an android phone, ipad and iphone, so that will keep me occupied till the real deal comes out!!

Batwick - any chance of some PH'isms making it into the game? maybe a can of "red cow" energy drink as a projectile weapon or whatever?!, a "nuke them from orbit" powerup etc?

Maybe! I'd have to fight the rest of the design team though - although Neil "Nobby" Barnden drives 911s and Dave "Trifle" Hosier (the Exec Producer on the game) has a Sagaris. So it may be possible, albeit with a lot of tutting...

Maybe you could hide just one "Ambwilans" (or something) on one of the levels? Wouldn't interfere with the game much but a nice "Easter Egg" for us on here to find?

We're hoping for more - maybe $600k - as typically Kickstarter campaigns tend to get a final surge towards the deadline.

Every bit helps, as developing a game like this actually costs millions. So we've got to put in every penny that Kickstarter doesn't!
