“London-based Synaptic Soup, a development studio created by
members of the Evolva team and ex-Bullfrog employees, has announced
its first game – an arcade-style racing game called Crazy Car
Championship. The game uses Synaptic’s proprietary game engine,
Cipher, and it includes cross-platform multiplayer support for
players on PC, Mac, Linux, and next-generation console
systems.”

“In Crazy Car Championship, players build their own vehicles
from a variety of strange components. Players then race their
vehicles against one another on a number of tracks on a series of
floating islands. The developer describes the game as “Jules Verne
meets Flash Gordon in the Cannonball Run.” Players can create
vehicles as diverse as steam-powered hovercrafts and
quantum-powered hot rods.”
