TGB Kart Kit 1.2 is here and is huge. The kit now includes the entire contents of "Cascadia Kart", a current iPhone "Hot New Game" for you to learn from! In addition, the kit runs faster, has more features, and is simply an insane value for $50.

The game's previous name, StarcaCENSORED, caused a mild bit of controversy. At my own expense, I changed the name, updated the app, and now have launched again!
