## Description
_Raging Thunder_ is a racing game for mobile devices. As an arcade racer at
heart, the game allows the player to try out four different cars with
different abilities when it comes to speed, acceleration and grip. It’s played
from a third person perspective and is fully rendered in 3D with the
developer’s own Fuse engine. Two control methods are available. The player can
either use the touch screen by dragging his finger right or left or the gyro
sensor by tilting the phone. Acceleration and braking is done by dragging the
finger up and down on the screen. When using the touch screen to steer it is
possible to enable auto acceleration. The cars also has boosting and tackling
functionality. To boost the player needs to pick up lighting bolt collectibles
that are scattered around the tracks and this gives some extra power briefly.
In addition to the lightning bolts there is also laughing skulls which the
player has to avoid since they will drain the player’s boost. When no boost is
left the car slows to a crawl for a few seconds. Tackling can be done whenever
the player is close to a competitor who is then sent spinning.
The game features three game modes: arcade, time attack and championship. In
the arcade mode the player gets to race through all the levels and has to
reach checkpoints before the time expires. In the time attack mode the player
gets to compete for the fastest time on any track that is unlocked. In the
championship mode the player gets paid for the races and is able to upgrade
his car or buy a new one. In the championship mode the player also unlocks the
levels that become available in time attack and multiplayer.
Multiplayer is available over both a local wireless network and over the
Internet. It’s cross-platform for meaning that players with different types of
handsets can compete against each other.
