Derby Smash
Demolition derby in a dusty arena. Ram rival cars with your armored front, guard your sides and rear, and be the last car running round after round.
Derby Smash is a top-down demolition derby game set in a packed dirt arena ringed with tire walls and a cheering crowd. Every car has four damage panels: an armored front, a rear and two sides. When any panel reaches zero the car is wrecked and smokes in place as an obstacle. Ram with your front and you take reduced damage, but get caught side-on and a single T-bone can take half a panel off. The faster car going into a crash deals the damage, so speed and angle decide every hit.
Each round is last car standing. Round one pits you against two rivals, and every round adds another, up to seven. Rivals pick targets, line up charges, fire their nitro and turn their noses to face incoming hits. Later rounds add oil slicks that kill your grip, a tire island in the middle and explosive barrels. If a round drags on, a ring of fire closes in and scorches anyone caught outside it. Wrenches repair your weakest panel and nitro canisters refill your boost.
Between rounds you spend scrap in the pit on repairs, armor plates, engine tuning and a ram bar, and reaching higher rounds unlocks a heavier pickup and a faster muscle coupe. Tip: back off when a rival charges at your door and meet them nose first instead.
How to play
Drive into rival cars to damage them and be the last car still running. Each car has front, rear, left and right panels, and a car is wrecked when any panel reaches zero. Your front is armored, so hit with your nose and aim for rivals' sides and rears for bonus points. Points come from damage dealt, wrecks you cause and rounds won. Grab wrenches to repair and nitro cans to boost. After a long round a ring of fire shrinks the arena. Between rounds spend scrap on repairs and upgrades. The run ends when you are wrecked.
