Platforms: Webbrowser



Synopsis:
Choose your inadequately prepared racer, and ignore severe consequences in your desperate search for victory



Gameplay:
The game features all different of variety of play, including user created levels and pre created, levels where the goal of the game is dependant on the level, whether that is to kill, fly, pogo stick assault courses, you name it, the game is unique since players can create different levels and upload them, where they can be favorited, disliked and other things, when playing the game dependant on the level the frames can drop a bit; also frames are limited to 30 frames a second, which is pretty bad in game wise, but for this game it is okay and decent enough to play. The game also has the ability to upload replays of your funniest moments, the game has been noted for its graphical violence where players can lose limbs, beheaded and other gory stuff, which makes it only suitable for the ages of 18 and over. The game is incredibly addictive although it doesn't seem it, it actually is, the creation side of the game is actually also fun, I've created many levels with different variety that people of played and ive had feedback on them to which is good, the game features different characters that can be chose on levels; although this is not for every level where the creator can pre set a character to play.

These characters consist of :
Wheelchair Guy
Segway Guy
Irresponsible Dad
Effective Shopper
Moped Couple
Lawnmower Man
Explorer Guy
Santa Claus
Pogostick Guy
Irresponsible Mom
Helicopter Guy



Graphics:
When coming to the game the graphics are not very appealing, but upon playing the game your view changes drastically, the graphical side of the game doesn't feel very solid since, the game features poor frame rates considering it could probably be able to reach the 60 fps, yet its capped at 30, which is a shame, but also has plenty of options for the graphics whether that be how many blood can be shown, or anything like that, when playing certain levels I have had really bad frame drops which can be annoying and frustrating, the game is 2d but is still fun it is like any other platformer. The game lacks in the graphical section but definitely makes up for it for the amount of fun you can have playing the game. All in all the game is very enjoyable even with the lack of graphical amazement. I will show you some examples of the gameplays graphics now:
