A downloadable prototype

Need For Beer is a physics-driven racing game where control, chaos and momentum collide.

You’re not just driving… you’re wrestling with friction, weight, inertia and a world that refuses to play nice.

Designed as a collaborative learning project, the goal was to create a racing experience where the physics are the gameplay. Every crash matters. Every boost demands precision. Every curve becomes a fight between your reflexes and the laws of motion.

Race alone or challenge a friend in a 1–2 player, drifting through handcrafted circuits full of sharp turns, unstable corners and moments of pure unpredictability. Master the turbo system and manage your speed.

If you enjoy chaotic local multiplayer, physics-based movement and games that reward learning through play, this one’s for you.

Features

  • Fast, chaotic races built around physical forces

  • 1–2 player local mode

  • Turbo system, advanced braking and responsive controls

  • Handcrafted circuits with tight turns

  • Complete physics simulation: friction, rebounds, forces and impacts

  • Custom UI

  • Developed collaboratively as a technical study project

Try it out

Try it, crash it, break it.
We built this project with curiosity, teamwork and more than a few chaotic test races.
If you give it a go, we’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts — your feedback helps us grow and sharpen our design instincts.
