About the Game

It is the near future of 2019, and you're trapped in a dome with 18,736 mad robots on the outskirts of a Las Vegas themed resort, and with only twenty minutes until a bomb wipes everything out. Race across a small open world, activate powerful buffs, and grow strong enough to survive the next danger, and maybe even escape (Ed. Escape is not possible at this point in time).

Explore the world.

  • Discover Fountains to activate Buffs, Pylons to boost your character, and more

  • Race to locations to gain experience

  • Complete Time-Trials to increase the experience you earn

Explode the rustbuckets that have turned their attention to you.

  • Utilise a variety of unique weapons to Wreck those Wrobots

  • Deal Damage to destroy their puny frames

  • Inflict Stun to weaken them, then ram into them to heal yourself

  • Utilise Buffs to empower yourself and shape your run

Expire, and then try it all again.

  • Unlock Achievements to unlock new Weapons, Buffs, and improve your car's stats

  • Discovered world features are added to your map permanently, letting you optimise your path through the world


If you haven't already, please consider checking out the Demo, it's a sizeable chunk of content, and will give you a very good idea if the game works for you.
