About this game

Grooverider: Slot Car Thunder is a slot-car-inspired arcade racing game set across tracks inside the rooms of a luxury apartment. Race against three opponents while switching between fixed lanes and using ramps, roadblocks, splits, loops, merges, and power-ups. Cars can also be barged off the track.

The game features three difficulty levels, called voltages, with each level increasing the speed. Available car selections include British classics, 1970s cop-show cars, stock cars, GT sports cars, Formula X cars, and Japanese cars.
