Brumm is a whimsical racing game inspired by the Micro Machines franchise, specifically the more retro games from the 1990s. Races take place from a top-down perspective and feature a cartoon art style that blends those retro styles with more modern graphics.

The developers of Brumm are aiming to recapture the spirit of older arcade racing games, and so the game modes and the number of racers reflect that. For example, there is a maximum of five racers on a track, and players can compete in standard races or elimination modes.

An arcade-inspired racing game

Brumm is a top-down racing game that is inspired by classic arcade racing games such as Super Sprint. It also aims to offer the same frantic racing experience, along with a few modern features that weren’t possible when the games that inspired Brumm were released. The art style is reminiscent of those older games while still incorporating some modern graphical tricks.

Multiple competition and game modes

Players can choose to compete in a number of ways involving a maximum of five players. There are single-player races against AI competition, local split-screen races, or online racing. Players can compete in standard race rules or try their hand at elimination rules. There are leaderboards for both local and online play.

A fun arcade racer

Brumm aims to be a fun little racing game with nostalgia, and it seems to achieve its goal with 15 different tracks to compete in and a number of game modes. However, it should be noted that some players have reported the online play experience to be a little clunky, so players who specifically want to race against online competition should be aware of that.
