About the Game

BAFL - Brakes Are For Losers is a top-down, single-screen racing game created as a tribute to good old games such as Super Sprint, Indy Heat or Super Off Road.

Description

Challenge your friends, pick a funky car and outrun them with your driving skills and dirty tricks. Ram them out of your way or pick up bonuses to wreck them.

BAFL is a tribute to Old School Arcade Racing Games.
Scooch together on the couch and gather up to 8 people playing on the same screen, compete in championships, upgrade your cars, and break friendships!

BAFL also offers a challenging solo experience with championships against fierce AIs and special modes such as Time Attack or Perfect Race.
Run in unique tracks inspired by the pop culture of the 80’s and 90’s along with funny details and surprising events. Each location takes you to a different setting, from peaceful Caribbean island to hellish underground, from fabulous Las Vegas all the way to the Moon!
BAFL is an invitation to dive in a state of the art old-school epic racing game. With no freaking brakes!

Features

  • Up to 8 player madness on the same screen.
  • A Hardcore brakeless driving style.
  • Solo and local multiplayer in challenging championships.
  • Time Attack and Perfect Race also without brakes.
  • Badass Soundtrack.
  • No. Brakes.



BAFL is the first game of studio Oudidon, founded by Alain Duverger, video game veteran who stormed out of mobile F2P game design to seek the roots of video gaming fun. The team also includes Aline Krebs, young talented artist that led the art direction and Aymeric Schwartz, experienced composer and sound designer (Rayman Adventures, Absolver, Splasher…) that provided BAFL with the perfect badass soundtrack to match the nervous gameplay.
