About Slackers - Carts of Glory
Slackers – Carts of Glory drops you into a chaotic downtown race where you push a shopping cart instead of driving a car. You must collect drinks to restore stamina while racing toward a store that is closing.
The game offers two main modes—Downhill Time Attack for pure speed and Freestyle for tricks—across 32 tracks and 16 carts. Full controller support, online PvP for up to four players, and Steam achievements round out the experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Downhill Time Attack
In Downhill Time Attack you race a shopping cart at insane speed without brakes or an engine, so you must push and manage stamina. Drinks placed along the track can be collected to recharge stamina and keep you moving toward the closing store.
The mode can be played solo or with three friends online, letting up to four players compete for the fastest time on any of the 32 tracks. The focus is on reaching the finish before the store shuts its doors.
- Locate drink positions early to avoid stamina loss on long descents.
- Watch friends’ lines for hidden shortcuts that shave seconds.
02 / THE GUIDE
Freestyle Mode
Freestyle lets you perform tricks and combos on ramps and rails, turning the cart into a stunt vehicle. Each cap you collect raises a score multiplier, so riskier lines can yield higher points.
The goal is to climb the global leaderboard by chaining tricks, using every ramp, and maximizing the cap‑based multiplier. The mode rewards continuous trick flow and creative line choices.
- Chain tricks quickly to keep the multiplier rising.
- Target ramps and rails while collecting caps to keep the multiplier rising.

Cart Physics & Controls
The shopping cart has no brakes, engine, steering wheel, or seatbelts, meaning movement relies on pushing and manual steering. This creates a raw, uncontrolled feel that defines the challenge.
Because there is no engine, stamina becomes a core resource; you must balance pushes with drink pickups to maintain momentum across inclines and turns.
- Anticipate turns early since you cannot brake.
- Maintain steady pushes to avoid losing speed on slopes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer & PvP
Online PvP lets you race against up to three friends in real time in Downhill Time Attack. In Freestyle, you can climb the global leaderboard for competitive comparison.
Steam Achievements and full controller support are listed features, encouraging friendly competition and rewarding performance across both modes.
- Coordinate with friends to test different carts on the same track.
- Check the leaderboard after each session to gauge improvement.
05 / THE GUIDE
Unlockable Carts & Tracks
Players can unlock all 16 shopping carts and race across 32 tracks by progressing through the game. The game challenges you to unlock all 16 shopping carts as you progress.
Tracks contain varied shortcuts and obstacles, encouraging repeated runs in both Time Attack and Freestyle to master each layout.
- Experiment with different carts to find a handling style that suits your line.
- Explore each track for hidden shortcuts that can reduce lap time.
