About the Game

Old School Arcade Crash Racing!
Inspired by the countless metal-bending games of the 90s and 2000s, Crumple Zone brings back the simple, colorful and timeless fun of ridiculous car-smashing.

It's All About Destruction!
You're a bad driver? Great! Crumple Zone is not about racing fast - score high by driving absolutely reckless.

Car Customization!
Beat highscores in the arcade mode to unlock new items to customize the look of your stock car.

2 Player Split Screen Mode!
Remember back when this was a thing?

Cheesy Story Mode!
Single player championships are connected by a backstory. Get introduced to the lore, meet your lunatic opponents in visual-novel-like cutscenes and destroy them on the track.

Real-time Damage Model!
With a lot of crumpling - naturally.

Fully 4k compatible and mastered!
If you got the hardware, we got the pixels.

Retro-Inspired Soundtrack!
Carefully selected songs that bring back that 90s feeling - sorry, no dubstep here.
