Joost van Dongen’s abstract racer Proun has been released. With pay-what-you-want pricing you could download the game for free then if you decide you like it you could pay later.

According to the FAQ “Proun is a strange racing game in a world of geometric objects and large coloured surfaces. You avoid obstacles by rotating around a cable in order to gain as much speed as possible. There is no up or down; there is only the cable to which you are attached.” Sound interesting?

Proun features:
-4 unlockable speeds, from relaxed to insanely fast
-2-4 player splitscreen
-Joystick support
-Online highscores
-Championship mode
-Race against ghosts of all your previous times
-3 regular tracks, 1 unlockable bonus track, and 1 bonus track for those who pay for the game
-Highly moddable: tools and documentation to create your own levels are included with the game
