History
Riders of Asgard was initially created by Karl Muller who is a co-founder of Gobbo Games and handles all the sound design for Gobbo Games. After showing Quinton the game, they both felt that they had a game with huge potential and decided to focus on getting the game released.
By February 2016, they had playable version and by August 2016, they were ready to release the game on Steam Greenlight.
On the 7th September 2016, Riders of Asgard was succesfully greenlit and development moved in to high gear as Karl and Quinton started working on adding all the Leader Board and Steam features to the game.
On the 31st March 2017, the game was released on Steam.

- "There's no denying that the game is definitely polished looking and the physics look intact, which is one of the most important aspects to a physics-based stunt-racer like this."
- Billy D, One Angry Gamer - "Riders of Asgard is quirky enough to be novel, yet challenging enough to be fun ... The tutorial takes you through all the games controls, allowing you to get a handle on them before playing an actual course. It's without a doubt one of the most comprehensive tutorials that I've seen in a long time."
