Notes

  • Early menu
  • Early start screen
  • Secret character "Y" is unplayable (trying to force the game to load him causes a crash)
  • Various changes across multiple maps
  • Every ending is a placeholder FMV with the character's name and some music from the game in the background (beezwax's placehold fmv spells his name as beezewax)
  • John torque's car has blue windows instead of black
  • Sid and boogie both crash on the casino city level in quest mode
  • Casino city has large open part at edge of map with no invisible wall, allowing you to go out of bounds
  • Luxoflux logo appears in between loading between levels and menus
  • Dave's special "invasion" crashes the game when used
  • Game is buggy and crashes easily
  • Only a few weapon combos have been added, and they have no cool down and use only 1 ammo
  • Intro FMV has placeholder music from the game
  • Different physics and weight, cars feel more rigid
  • HUD from older prototype is leftover unused in files
  • You can pick up destroyed enemies specials and it gives you your special with the ammo they had
