BAFL - Brakes Are For Losers

I paid £1.79 for the game and I give it a hesitant recommendation if it's on sale. The game works fine, it looks ok (except when sometimes a zoom-in reveals low res art) , no bugs or frame rate jitters, it does pretty much what you expect. The biggest problem really is lack of content. Each race in a championship lasts a minute and there are ten races. The only thing to do past that is to play the same championship on a harder level, multi-player and the time challenges. Of the ten tracks that are there, some are very simple shapes and can barely be called a track. It really needs more tracks and championships, perhaps with different rules such as no weapons or no pits. Maybe inject some purpose to completing the championships, unlocking faster cars etc, these are all tried and tested formulas that work to keep someone interested in other racing games. I would also adjust the handling, I was floating around the track with no real feel of grip and I had the handling stat maxed out and the adhesion fairly high too. It feels like you're driving a hovercraft rather than a car that has contact with the ground. I've mentioned more negatives than positives, but I really hope they expand the game, there is definite potential here. I wouldn't pay the full price for it as it stands.

No option to save champoinship progress mid-term, no warning given if you return to main menu, all championship progress lost.

Well. . . It's like. . . it's kind of. . . it's a sort of. . . Anyways. All you need to know is: It's "for Losers"!

A racing game that feels a lot like Super Sprint from the NES. I didn't find too much of an offering here, and while the concept of no brakes was enjoyable at first it is difficult to see myself playing for an extended amount of time. It's a very casual racer, for anyone interested.

Ganz nette Idee, aber letztlich leider so monoton, dass ich es nach 5 Minuten in die Ecke gelegt und nicht mehr das Bedürfnis gehabt habe, es noch einmal anzupacken. Kategorie "Für Fans des Genres".

Now with my (probably failed) attempt at a funny joke, let's move on to the actual review. BAFL is a top-down racing game that's way too chaotic for its own good. 8 racers on a very small track with power-ups happening is a bit too much, and it shows occasionally. My car was getting damaged so when I wanted to make a pit stop, I got pushed off constantly by the AI and my race was pretty much ruined at that point. And in general I feel the racing controls to be very.. average at best? I mean as expected there are no brakes so you slide all over the place, But when you are racing alone, the problem with having no brake shows. There are additional challenges per level which include Time Attack and Perfect Racing, which means hitting no sides of the road. This is doable, but you can see by the great amount of lesser players in the latter challenges that few people really enjoy it, and I can't blame them. The other aspect to BAFL is that it's somewhat of a party game, excusing the actual racing mechanics I guess? But even then, you're probably done with the game after a few races and then put it down. I don't recommend this game, but there is a demo in case you're curious. [hr] https://store.steampowered.com/app/573070/BAFL__Brakes_Are_For_Losers/

Довольно занятные гонки на пару вечеров. Авторы привнесли много интересных фишек, которые приятно радуют во время прохождения. Однозначно рекомендую любителям заездов на микромашинках и не только.

Concept très simple et pourtant terriblement efficace : Une voiture, un pilote, un circuit. Mais il semble manquer quelque chose à la recette ... Ah, oui... Oubliez cette idée saugrenue de freiner ! Ce concept force à réflechir ses trajectoires très rapidement, puisque ça reste un jeu forcément extremement arcade. Rapide, très rapide à prendre en main, graphiquement tout choupi, de bons moments en perspective :)
