Hardtrace is an exciting arcade multiplayer game that brings a new dimension to the world of tron-like and snake-like games. Up to 12 players on a single PC (or more over the network) can compete for maximum points during timed rounds. You drive a "Tracer" vehicle that leaves an intermittent trail of death in its path, and must use your skills and strategy to defeat your friends. KEY FEATURES INNOVATIVE MECHANICS: - Portals: Create and jump through portals across the game board to reach points much quicker than your opponents. - Instant cornering: Quickly change direction, accelerate, brake and surprise your opponents completely unprepared. SPECIAL ZONES: - Two Difficulty Levels: zones with high value points require more precise control and strategy. However, the risk taken is rewarded richly. - Heated Battles: Inside these zones, everyone wants to be inside as soon as possible, so expect it to be tight. CLEVER MECHANICS: - Experience and Understanding of Game Mechanics: The key to winning is to understand and use all the advanced game mechanics. I will only hint that there is a way to get through portals faster than everyone else. MULTIPLAYER FUN LOCAL COUCH PARTY: -Optimized for Big 4K Screens: enjoy the game on modern big TVs. -Up to 12 Players on One PC: Ideal for large groups and parties (8 Xbox gamepads and nkey rollover keyboard).
