Brumm

I have been searching for a game like [i]Slicks 'n Slide[/i] for years now, and this is as close as any has gotten. The controls are fine. You can choose between the sensible default 'Relative' controls (thrust, brake, turn left, turn right) and 'Absolute' (accelerates you in the direction being pressed) which... would probably take some getting used to. The handling feels a little wooden. I would've liked some more sliding around corners, but it still takes some skill to get around the tracks fast. The tracks are fine. More would be welcome, of course, but none of them are awful or anything. Rather a handful of decent tracks than hundreds of filler. The camera, like the controls, can be set from 'Dynamic' which zooms in on the action, to 'Static' which shows the entire track on screen. Just like good ol' [i]Slicks 'n Slide[/i] Online play is available, but honestly, I got it for local multiplayer and for that purpose this game is more than worth it. While you can't define your keys (like in [i]Slicks 'n Slide[/i]) at least it allows two players to use the keyboard.

Brumm is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Super Sprint (Copyright Atari, 1986). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Atari against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Brumm is considerably worse than Super Sprint (although it does at least feature multiplayer options... unfortunately nobody ever played the game because it's so bad, see below for the player counts... it's embarrassing). From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budg…

Bad multiplayer experience - inviting is complicated, gameplay is very basic, don't buy. Go for Slicks'n'slide instead!

Played game with 3 friends, but the game quits after the round is over. We had to reopen the lobby every time

Awesome Retro-Racer. The upcoming graphic overhaul looks nice. I'm looking for the confirmed online Time Trial Mode.

Schneebäse!
