Welcome to home page of Need For Brakes!

1. Project description

Need For Brakes is a racing game in space. Player's goal is to beat target time for track. Tracks can be predefined or randomly generated.

Features:

Race against time & ghost car
Randomly generated tracks
Hand-made tracks for Championship Mode
3 Play Modes

Play Modes

No Brakes! - The main mode where your spaceship can only accelerate. You have to complete one lap and beat the best time.
I Got Brakes! - Reverse mode: your space ship starts with considerable speed, but you can only brake. You still have to complete one lap.
Hardcore Endurance - You can only accelerate and any contance with track boundaries results in game over. You earn more points by driving for longer time with higher speed.

Feature Creep!

Things that may make the game better but will take more time. I will not implement them before main gameplay is complete.

Achivements
Different types or track boundaries: some slow you down, some destroy your ship, some bounce you harder
Speed-Up/Slow-Down zones (remember FUEL strips in River Raid?)
Jumps Zone/Danger Zone (zones where you have to move with faster or slower than some set limit or dir)
Bonuses
Tweet The Track (sharing of random tracks & record times via Twitter)
