Bumpercar Battle Royale 1.0

Bumpercar Battle Royale is a great idea in premise and had us wondering why there aren’t more games based around the poplar fairground attraction, and while Bumpercar Battle Royale looks great for a free game the game play itself seems quite unfinished.

It’s worth bearing in mind that this was built within a time frame of just 72 hours but the it’s very hard to get in to the game play as the other bumpercars don’t seem to move very often unless you get them on the edge of a precipice when suddenly they seem to be able to move out of the way (often tricking you in to driving off the edge yourself) and due to the lack of input from the AI the game gets dull fairly quickly, there is also a huge issue with the use of the rockets you can collect, when firing them they tend to hover directly in front of you instead of taking out an opponent and no matter which direction (whether you drive straight forward in to it or try to reverse to avoid it) always result in instant death for you the player.

A great idea of a game but sadly not as much fun to play as it sounds, and although the storm eye closing in adds a little tension the lack of participation really detracts from the game play.
