Description
This is a top view
maze car racing game where the player has to race around several
lanes of a circuit and collect all fruits to
advance to the next level. The player also receives bonus points
based on the amount of time it takes him to finish each
level. Based on the level, there are 1 or 2 other cars also going
around the track trying to stop the player by having a
collision with him, so the player must switch lanes before
running into them. The player can switch lanes by going through
openings using the 4 directions of the joystick, and also by
breaking through colored walls. This is a more modern version of
Head On, and in this game, the player can also go
in reverse.
