Strap-on-bomb Car: One-Button Mini-Racing game

Str.. Bomb Car!

Awesome! A one-button mini car racing game where you have to blow up your car in the most hilarious way thinkable!
No wait, that's not right. It's actually a time trial game but this kid [tinyogg] figured out what's most fun to do!

So you use the space bar to make the car either turn left or right but for whatever reason there is a bomb, where a bumper should be. Get it here in a .zip for OSX/Win/Lin32&64/src if your computer can run 3D games!

Both game content and source code are GPL-licensed. Only exception is the soundtrack: one track is BY-SA (good), one NoDerivs (bad) and one has no license (bad). DarkPlaces is the engine used by the game. Urre made Bomb Car and if I understand correctly, he is part of Kot in Action, who are currently working on the top-down shooter Steel Storm using the DarkPlaces engine. Not sure what their plan for licensing is.


And yeah. We all agree that the name is funny. Shut up. :P At least it's not "open bomb car". (Speaking of weird names: while "kot" means "cat" in Polish and Russian, it means something different in German.)
