Weapons in BlazeRush.
Today we finish the discussion of weapons in the game.

Saw is a notched rusty piece of scrap. When it hits the opponent, it throws up and spins his vehicle. Like Slime, Saw bounces off walls and can even be shot around corners, and when shot across the road, can be used to create a barrier in front of the pursuers.

Weapons in the game appear on track randomly, so you need to be agile and quick to grab the right weapon.

Hello.

We were working hard for several weeks to deliver two features, that should help random people find each other and play together. First of all, game now uses UPnP to poke ports needed for steam matchmaking. It won’t make all parties visible in the list, but we really hope that it will work for most people. Also, we will release dedicated server application, as a more practical way to host online games.

Changelog:

– Improved matchmaking;
– Fixed display on not-native aspects in fullscreen;
– Added key tips on lobby and race results screens;
– Fixed death-roller twitching on client;
– Fixed bug with additional cups in career mode;
– Fixed connection throug steam interface during gameplay;
– Fixed ping indicator in server list.

Hello friends!

Today we present Tailfin. His temper is tougher than a steel wire. He’s always collected, perceptive and careful in the race.
Tailfin has a flying car. It’s quite heavy for its class, but it easily stands against almost half its wheeled siblings in wheel-to-wheel racing. Significant mass together with antigravity engines makes you feel like you’re behind the wheel of a true retro car, but in the air. This vehicle may forgive a couple of driving errors here and there. A great choice for rookies racers.

Which car do you prefer for BlazeRush race?

Have you already played BlazeRush?

Today we will talk about weapons in the game.

Sound wave is an invisible force that throws vehicles and boxes in front of your machine. Effective against tight groups of rivals, as well as a weapon of defense when you’re being overtaken, since it’s pretty easy to aim.

Have a nice day!

Meet Turboboy!

Turboboy is the youngest of all pilots in the game. But young does not mean inexperienced. The lad has been everything he could since his childhood. From a lawnmower to his uncle’s supercars. And now Turboboy’s car is an almost perfect race car. It’s fast, handles great. Accelerates like a meteor, boasts fine grip in corners,
cold calculation, perfectly measured decisions and a desire to win. That’s what motivated Turboboy when he built his own car.

Hello friends!

Let’s talk about Types of weapons in BlazeRush.

Today we will give you tips on the effective use of weapons in the game, so pay attention!
The following is true for all weapons but slime:
it’s better to attack before a turn, so there’s more chance for the opponent to fly off the track or slow down significantly;
Hitting an opponent who is in the air greatly enhances the efficiency of the weapon, because there is no contact with the road.

As always, we’re going to tell you about one of the weapon types.
Slime is a highly adhesive substance produced by a special modified cannon. When in contact with slime, the car slows down for a few seconds, but by picking up and turning on a booster you can stop the slime effect. As for far-away targets, try to aim straight at them.
What should you do if you’re hit with slime? Don’t panic, get in front of the enemy, don’t let him overtake, just block the way.

Have a nice weekend!

Happy Monday!
How was your weekend?

Last week we told you about the three planets of the BlazeRush universe. Today you’re going to learn about the changes that those planets went through because of the evil Corporation’s actions.

“The unseen hand of the market and its visible trail.”

In the midst of our racing adventure, a disaster struck. Enormous internal resources of the planets were mercilessly sucked dry by a black octopus in the face of the Interplanetary Corporation. Natural balance has been disrupted. Almost simultaneously, all three planets were hit by terrible disasters that have changed their appearance forever.

The Green Giant was the first to fall. Systematic large-scale deforestation, endless processing plants, giant interplanetary cargo barges plowing the sky — all of these shattered the fragile balance of nature. The planet started losing heat at a catastrophic pace. Within days, the temperature dropped to critical values below zero. The entire surface was covered with ice in the blink of an eye, and on top of that, with a thick layer of snow. Only the ancient buildings frozen to the core remind the visitors of the planet’s original appearance.

BG-13 is the second planet that was touched with irreversible changes. The Corporation has been very active here for quite a long time. It was interested in native plant similar to an adhesive sponge that covered most of the planet. The chemical composition of the plant had a wide range of applications. Unsurprisingly, the greedy hands of the Corporation depleted this resource almost entirely. Also, by using powerful chemicals, the Corporation got rid of active biomass while protecting its industrial infrastructure. In consequence, the majority of the organic world was deprived of vital resources from this substance. Ruthless drought spread from one pole to the other and a planet once full of life has become a lifeless desert.

But still isn’t the end of the disaster. Endless draining of resources played a cruel joke with the Corporation. In fact, they cooked their own goose. Planet LAVA-3 decided to live up to its name completely. First, magma flows flooded all mines and quarries, and then escaped to the surface in endless streams of fire. In an instant, the entire surface of the planet, except for a few hills, turned into an ocean of heat-oozing lava. Strangely enough, most of the tracks are not affected because they were built on high poles.

Against the background of the terrible cataclysm tearing the planet apart, race cars fly about the tracks, lap after lap continuing their deadly battle for the Interplanetary Cup.
