Feel like a true road outlaw! "Brakes? No, thanks!" is a dynamic, voxel arcade game, combining crazy ride with spectacular mayhem. Rack up your Penalty score, beat survival and destruction records. Unlock new vehicles and tracks to intensify the road chaos.
Test yourself in this two-phase arcade game. First, fight for survival by breaking records while driving, and finally, inflict as much damage as possible during the ultimate pile-up. Track your stats for time, distance, or dangerous maneuvers, as well as the number of demolished vehicles and the fine value.
Drive safely in the left lane, or take a risk and grab a bonus on the right. Overtake other cars by mere millimeters for powerful bonuses and squeeze between vehicles.
You will start your career behind the wheel of a taxi, and then hunt for more vehicles – complete tasks and destroy cars to add them to your collection. You will race on a forest highway map, with plans to add more in the future.
This is not an ordinary racing game – and don't be fooled by the simple controls (because in Brakes you can literally play with one hand). The unique gameplay loop rewards agility in dense traffic, but when you finally crash... that's when the festival of destruction begins! Approach it tactically – utilize moments of greatest car density and destroy the most valuable cars for a higher Fine.
In addition to the pile-up, the Fine also includes: driving in bonus lanes, as well as "close calls", which is avoiding moving cars at the last moment. Such maneuvers carry a high risk of an early end to the run, but they tempt with big bonuses when successful.
You will unlock new vehicles in an unusual way too. Each new car requires fulfilling the conditions of various quests, but completing it is not the end of the effort. The new car will start appearing on the road, and it will be added to your collection only when you completely demolish it.
And cars differ not only in looks. Speed (starting and maximum), acceleration, lane change time, but above all, durability and the resulting value added to the Fine with each impact until the final explosion will be something worth paying attention to.
Sometimes the quests will focus on survival time, sometimes the number of cars burned in a pile-up, sometimes the amount of the Fine or other statistics. Choose the right vehicle and overcome all challenges!
Earn points for challenging quests to invest in permanent upgrades. Visit the Shop in the main menu and choose from a wide range of bonuses that will change your experience. Increase your chances of survival with a shield that will protect you from the first collision, or go for aggression by buying an upgrade that will make your crashes even more destructive. Their skillful combination will allow you to create powerful synergies and break new records.
From the very beginning, I care about both the gameplay and all elements typical for decent productions. Although this is my first, small game, I have implemented full interface localization for Polish and English. Additionally, the game allows for easy adjustment of sound volume in the main and pause menus (by default it is set low so as not to kill your ears on first contact with the game). I also cannot fail to mention support for controllers, keyboard, and even the mouse itself – you play however you feel comfortable. And the icing on the cake is the fact that music producer ShayD (personally a good friend of mine) created unique, energetic music especially for Brakes, which adds to the atmosphere of the speeding vehicles. ShayD also supports the game's audio quality.
