About the game
Andy Hopwood's third game, this time round it's a push-your-luck racing game with a twist. The twist being, that instead of doing multiple laps, players race their cars to the end of the track and then turn around and race back to the starting line. So if you're the first to turn around, you can be sure that you'll have to weave around the cars still going in the other direction! And in ZOOM ZOOM KA-BOOM it's allowed to run into your opponents, thus making it harder for them to stay on track once it's their turn... So try and get ahead. And then try and stay ahead!
