Fanon:Diepkart (GellyPop)

"'Time to drive down the grid and race with others, or perhaps put them into oblivion.'"

The Diepkart is a kart-styled racing game created by GellyPop. The game puts many features of the hit game diep.io in play of kart racing genre, utilizing Tri-Angles as karts.

Gameplay
The game puts the player in utilizing their speedy Tri-Angle and, depending on the game mode, race up against opponents, the time, or complete other tasks, such as collecting as much Polygons in a single run. The camera is topdown like diep.io, since there is no sort of altitude.

The player embarks on so-called Race Tale, the main story of the game that tells how the player encounters challenges with Tri-Angle racing battles.

Tri-Angle and Stats
Tri-Angles in Diepkart differs from diep.io in a way that they ACT as the Basic Tanks. However, the player can choose the 'classification' of their Tri-Angle before starting their Race Tale. Below are the list of classifications: The player can have as many Tri-Angles as much as they want, but these cost expensive amount of Polygons, and each have their own Race Tale.
 * All-Round: Makes the Tri-Angles having balanced starting stat points.
 * Rammer: Gives the Tri-Angle high Hull Strength stat on start, but low Bullet Strength stat.
 * Glass Cannon: Gives the Tri-Angle high Bullet Strength stat on start, but low Hull Strength stat.
 * Juggernaut: Makes the Tri-Angle slightly better in both Bullet Strength and Hull Strength, but otherwise low Top Speed and Acceleration.
 * Custom: Allows the player to modify the starting stats of their Tri-Angle.

The Tri-Angle that the player is using starts with low stats, but they can level up by completing tracks and challenging opponents. Take note that stats differs a lot compared to diep.io, since this is a racing game. Every levelling up automatically adds an extra bonus point to each stat, and the player can reach up to Level 45. The player can also upgrade each stat manually, but has limit on how many times they can do this.
 * Top Speed: Determines the fastest speed that the Tri-Angle can get after certain amount of time running.
 * Acceleration: Determines how the Tri-Angle gains a sudden speed upon starting to run.
 * Bullet Strength: Determines how strong the bullets being fired are. This includes the damage done upon hitting an opponent, its health and penetration.
 * Hull Strength: Determines how strong the Tri-Angle's body is. This includes the hit points it can sustain before being destroyed, and its ramming damage when in collision with other Tri-Angles.
 * Recoil: Determines how much recoil does the cannons create when firing bullets. The higher the Recoil upgrade is, the stronger the recoil of back cannons but weaker the recoil of front cannon is. Also affects rate of fire.

Controls
Controlling the Tri-Ange is similar to controlling any tank in diep.io. However, the Right-click or Shift keys is used in order to use the power-up, if the player had any, or fire its front cannon if there isn't. This means Left-click only fires the back cannons. Auto-Fire can still be used, but all cannons will fire, which may instead slow down the Tri-Angle. The Tri-Angle loses speed if it was damaged. When destroyed, a 5-second cooldown is needed before it can get back to the track.

Polygons
Polygons serve as the main currency of the game. Only the Square, Triangle, and Pentagon, including their green variants which appear extremely rare within the game, appear. They can be found on the track, and when hit, provides currency which is equal to how much XP they give in diep.io. Squares are harmless to touch, but Triangles and Pentagons do damage, albeit unnoticeable.

Game Modes
The player can choose between different game modes:


 * Race: Race against 3 to 7 other Tri-Angles in a classic kart battle.


 * Time Trial: Prevent the timer from running out by completing laps or getting to checkpoints.


 * Polygon Harvest: Collect a required number of Polygons before reaching out the goal.
 * Elimination: Race like normal, but don't get destroyed or be the last before the opponents reach a checkpoint.
 * Gladiator: Use power-ups to destroy your opponents and be the last standing Tri-Angle.
 * Chase: Run fast to get to the finish, but don't get caught by horde of Fallen Boosters at your back.
 * Champion Challenge: Race against a single opponent who got lots of tricks up its sleeves and is fairly hard to defeat. Available only in Race Tale.
 * Boss Fight: Defeat the Fallen Booster before it reaches the finish.

Power-Ups
To make the player gain an upper hand in racing, a variety of power-ups can be obtained in the game. They can be collected on the track by hitting Item Boxes, Yellow Squares with a moving question mark on it. Only one power-up can be carried at once. To use the power-up, press Right-click or Shift key. Following below are the different power-ups that the player may use. Some required to be purchased first before being available to be obtained from Item Boxes, although some items may only be available on few game modes. All items can be upgraded once for better effects.
 * Booster: Gains two additional back cannons for few seconds, allowing additional recoil boost when firing them. Can be upgraded for longer lifespan and slightly higher damage.
 * Fighter: Gains two additional cannons, one on each side. The new cannons fires bullets that do half the damage of front ones. The cannons last for few seconds. Can be upgraded for longer lifespan and higher damage.
 * Invulnerability: Renders the Tri-Angle invulnerable to all damage in short time. Also slightly increases speed temporarily. Can be upgraded for longer effect time and slightly higher speed bonus.
 * Spike Shell: Gives the Tri-Angle high ramming damage, making it dangerous in collisions. Lasts for few seconds. Can be upgraded for longer effect time and higher ramming damage bonus.
 * Trap: Fires a single medium trap from its front cannon effortlessly, leaving it behind the player. Can be upgraded for slightly bigger size and higher damage.
 * Grapple: Fires out a grapple-like projectile connected from its front cannon. If an opponent get hit, the victim gets slight damage and slower speed, while the power-up user gains slight speed boost. The connection will be lost if it touched with any solid objects, or if 5 seconds had passed after using Grapple. Can be upgraded for slightly higher damage on victim and faster speed boost for user.
 * Frost Bullet: Fires a single icy bullet from its front cannon. If an opponent is hit, it will freeze in place. When colliding with a frozen Tri-Angle, the poor victim receives high damage and accelerates slower. If nothing happened to the victim after few seconds, it will broke free. Can be upgraded for longer freeze effect and higher damage upon hitting while victim is frozen.
 * Stalker: Renders the player invisible for few seconds, while also stealing an item from an opponent after few seconds. Can be upgraded for longer effect time and shorter item stealing time.
 * Flamethrower: Fires a long stream of fire from its front for few seconds. If an opponent is hit, they will be set on fire, receiving damage overtime for few seconds. Can be upgraded for longer fire range and longer burn time.
 * Repair Kit: Heals the Tri-Angle and provides a slight boost for a second. Can be upgraded for higher healing and slightly more powerful boost.
 * Tri-Trap: Fires three small traps effortlessly, leaving them behind the player. Can be upgraded for slightly bigger size and higher damage.
 * Octo: Fires two rings of bullet, each ring having 8 bullets. Can be upgraded for additional ring and longer range.

Tracks
Tracks are the main racing courses of Diepkart. One noticeable thing about these are that they all have the same graphics design, and is often situated inside Maze walls. Tracks are divided into two groups: circuits and sprints. Circuits are enclosed tracks that loop around itself, while sprints have a starting and finish ends. Depending on game mode chosen, the player may only be able to choose circuit or sprint tracks.
