Crashday puts the player in a world of stunts, dents and adrenalin. His task is to scrap his vehicle with breathtaking stunts or to wreck cars in aggressive street races, showing his opponents that they made a fatal mistake in choosing him as their enemy.
The battle setting place in maps partly created by the player is sponsored by a crazy video shop owner who sells new vehicles, weapons and other upgrades from time to time.
The PC game is comparable with "Carmageddon" (SCI) and
"Stunts" (Distinctive Software); mostly because Crashday's gameplay
also concentrates on realistic stunt physics, absolute freedom of
movement and the ability to create custom maps with a powerful
track editor.
Special features:
The flexible track editor builds the basis for all racing tracks of the game. You build your own maps absolutely independent of any physical limits and put jumps, loops, tunnels, houses and more in it.
With the release of the development tools it will also be possible to create your own cars and new track objects to give them to friends or upload them on websites.
