Crash Derby is a fast-paced and highly interactive racing game where destruction is just as important as speed. The game challenges players to complete their racing route while actively sabotaging their opponents through crashes, bumps, and explosive obstacles. At the heart of the game lies an innovative three-gear system that determines which actions players can or must perform each round. Managing gears efficiently is key to gaining momentum, timing attacks, and avoiding being taken out of the race.
Developed in collaboration with Prua Research, Crash Derby fully embraces community-driven creativity. The game is explicitly designed to support user-generated content: new car models, obstacles, map elements, and even gameplay modules can be 3D printed at home. From launch, a selection of printable expansions will be available on the Printables platform, ensuring that no two copies of Crash Derby are ever exactly the same.
Featuring detailed 3D-printed cars, modular maps, and a strong emphasis on tactical positioning and player interaction, Crash Derby offers a dynamic and chaotic racing experience that remains accessible to families while rewarding clever play.
