About the Game



REDLINE CROOKS is a unique, fast-paced combat-racer combining roguelite elements and breakneck speeds to make for a one-of-a-kind, high-octane experience. Charge through walls, cops and more using anything ranging from a tuned-up sports car to a forklift lacking certification. Why outrun the long arm of the law when you can slam it into a wall instead?



  • Pick one out of 9 playable convicts, each with distinct playstyles and character-specific upgrades.
  • Use the Boost to reach dangerously high speeds and blast through walls and enemies alike at the cost of your health.
  • Slam, blow up, launch, ram or otherwise destroy anyone looking to get you back behind bars, and be rewarded with cash and health.
  • Build an arsenal of powerful upgrades purchasable from the ever-trustworthy shopkeeper - there are over 100 items for you to mix and match, making every run unique.
  • Maneuver through randomly generated and fully destructible tracks, requiring constant improvisation.



  • Perform well to rank up, ramping up both the difficulty and the rewards you get using a God Hand-inspired difficulty scaling system.
  • Master the intricate mechanics and make it to the top of the online leaderboard, or just have a good time in this easy to play, hard to master experience.
  • Test your skills by completing jobs, earning stamps which can be exchanged for customization options and more.
  • Jam out to an awesome, original digital-fusion soundtrack by Adam Carey.
