Barely Racing is an isometric view racing game, inspired strongly by Death Rally and other old-school racing games. However, we spiced it up a bit with online play and weapon choice.

FEATURES
  • 7 cars, with color customization.
  • 9 tracks, with reverse variant, across 3 biomes.
  • Machine guns, rockets, and mines are your weapon of choice.
  • Game is primarily made to be played in split screen, but there is a story mode too.
  • Online multiplayer is supported, but it is peer to peer, which means your online match quality highly depends on the person who created the server.
  • Single player story where you race to win the cups?


LOCAL AND ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
This game is meant to be played with your friends. Don't hesitate to challenge them. It is not a surprise that games like these are best enjoyed in multiplayer.

MULTIPLAYER MODES
  • Race - just a regular race like any other. Addition of mines, rockets and machine guns, might change that experience a bit.
  • Mine Tag - good old tag game, but this time you carry a mine that has a timeout. Better hurry up to touch (tag) someone before it explodes.
  • Flag Chase - take the flag and hold it as much as possible.
  • Football - soccer + cars.
  • Deathmatch - wreckfest, just destroy every car you see

HOW TO WIN A RACE?
Well, you need to be the first one to cross the finish line. If you have anyone in front of you, use dem rockets and machine gun. If you have someone behind, just drop a mine, they'll do the rest.


DRIFTY DRIVING MODEL
We don't drive trams here, so expect some drift. It's post apocalypse anyways. No new tires have been produced.


THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. POUR THE GASOLINE AND START RAMMING!

J'aime bien / I like it

AVIS EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS: ENGLISH: For "Death Rally" fans. The game is good. You lose races (sometimes by blowing up your car), you rage and you start again until you earn some money. You upgrade your car, buy weapons until you have enough money to buy the next better car, and then you start again. Simple but effective, like "Death Rally" in the past. The opponents defend themselves well and the soundtrack is good. It may lack a bit of variety in terms of tracks and cars, but for the price, I think you get what you pay for. FRANCAIS: Pour les adorateur en manque de "Death Rally". Le jeux est bon. On perd des course (parfois en explosant sa voiture), on rage et ont recommence jusqu'a gagner un peu d'argent. On améliore sa voiture, on achete des armes jusqu'a avoir sufisament d'argent pour acheter la prochaine voiture un peu plus performante et on recommence. Simple mais éfficace comme "Death Rally" par le passé. Les adversaire se défende bien et la bande son est bonne. Manque peu t'etre un peu de variété dans les circuit et voiture mais pour le prix, je pense qu'on en a pour notre argent.

Excellent

Great overhead racer. If you loved Death Cars...you will love this game. Same principal, with updated graphics and feel. Fast paced, beautiful, interesting A.I. to keep you on your toes.

It's okay.

Barely Racing is a top-down racer similar to Rock N Roll Racing. We'll never get the remake of that here, but it's amazing and much better than this. Not that this is bad, of course! Barely Racing does do some fun things. Your cars can have rockets, mines and machine guns and you have a choice of several different tracks to race at instead of just one at a time. It's very grindy though, as well as rough around the edges. The entire game soundtrack is made up of royalty free albums that I recognized because I bought them in a bundle years ago. The character portraits aren't that special either. It definitely is a "you get what you pay for" kinda deal. But to be honest, the credits for the game are so small that they can be shown with just one or two screens. Fragile Games is a VERY small dev team, so we do need to consider that. Maybe if this one does good, they'll make another with more cars, tracks, features and perhaps an original soundtrack.

An Amiga Supercars II for the modern era

I don't mean it as a criticism when I say that this game is clearly inspired by Supercars II. I loved playing that on my Amiga and this has the same mechanics - top-down, cartoon handling, weapons and power-ups - and is fun (albeit, I haven't played this game for long enough yet to judge whether it's as much fun as SCII!) A great effort by the developers.
