Burnt Rubber
Closing Down
It is to our great sadness, that we need to announce that Fishbowl Interactive is currently in the process of shutting down as a company, and as such effective immediately Burnt Rubber will no longer be available.
We would like to thank all our players for their support over the last two years, Burnt Rubber would not have been anywhere near as fun as it was without you guys.
Thanks again for playing and keep burning rubber,
Fishbowl Interactive
Update 23/05/21: Hi we understand that there is some confusion around what this may mean for users who already own Burnt Rubber, please rest assured that you will not lose access to the game. Burnt Rubber also does not use any external online servers, so there should be no changes to your gameplay experience. Thank you.

- 60 intense tracks, to drift through for the best time

Burnt Rubber Update Released - 'Split screen serenity'
I know it’s been a while but here we are, back with another update. This time however, it is a big step forward for the game. We are introducing local split screen multiplayer! Split screen multiplayer will allow up to 4 players.
Over the next month we want to gather feedback about this new game mode, as well as explore what our next goal will be. We have had suggestions around level builders and sharing, so we will start to look into what is most achievable, and what will give greater value to our users. Expect to be kept in the loop however!
Split screen screenshots
Patch notes:
- Added Split screen local multiplayer (up to 4 players)
- Added two new control schemes for AZERTY keyboards
Please give us any feedback or bug reports on our Steam forums. We will try to respond as soon as possible.
As always, thank you for supporting us and giving your valuable feedback.

- Fixed Reference times on the end screen being lost when "Next Track" button is clicked
- Fixed issue where display mode setting wasn't saved
- Fixed issue where analytics setting wasn't saved

- Added 'Alternative' control scheme which switches the functions of WASD and the arrow keys. This can be found in options menu under 'Control Scheme'. We will be adding another alternative scheme for AZERTY next month, sorry for any inconvenience.
There is much to look forward in the coming months. Please keep giving us feedback on what we can improve. A lot of these fixes and planned are from invaluable community feedback, so please keep it up!

Burnt Rubber Update Released - 'Let the beat drop'
Hello again,
A small one this month. As we are focusing on at least one BIG feature in the coming months, it has been up to me to provide some content for our releases!
I have produced two new music tracks which have been added to the game in this release titled 'Let the beat drop'.
A quick note to mention we are participating in the Steam summer sales. Burnt Rubber is now 60% off! That's right, the game can be had for as little as US$2!
'Let the beat drop' Patch Notes:
- Added new music track Turbo Charged
- Added new music track Clutch
We will be moving this game into a full release soon, however that doesn't mean we are not going to continue to update Burnt Rubber with content. Stay tuned for our post release plans!
Keep the engine revving!

Phase 4 Release
Hi all!
We have released our phase 4 update for April. We have had to push stage 6 back by 1 month to accommodate for new mechanics and hazards, so stay tuned.
For phase 4 we have released general bugfixes, update our 'ghost platforms' and added some sweet post-processing effects for when you are going fast down those straights.
Patch notes:
- Improved versions of the Ghost Platforms sounds have been added
- Improved the hitboxes of pipes
- Added sound effect for ghost platforms
- The engine sound has been made slightly louder
- Post-processing effects have been made "speed-aware". Certain effects like motion blur and chromatic aberration will become more apparent as the car's speed gets higher.
If we don't hear from you, we will see you in a month for phase 5!
Keep it real, keep it fast.
