============= Intro =============
A long time before the invention of the first wheel, there used to be ancient riders. Riders, on highly customisable and tunable mammoths, who competed in crazy illegal races.
Prepare to experience the ancinet tuning technology. Join the riders and tune your mammoth for speed with our global ranking leaderboard.
============= Concept =============
Racing game where you can race the world’s best time saved on our server and tune your mammoth. You get a new tuning part every time you cross the finish line untill you have unlocked everything. This represents our version of possible ancient racing and transportation.
You can also select from three different mammoth types. Every mammoth type has its own parameters which determine how fast it can go (Top speed), how fast it accelerates (Acceleration), how sharp it turns (Handling) and how effective is its stopping power (Braking). Each tuning part modifies these stats and therefore you can have the most awesome mammoth that ever walked the face of the earth.
Be sure to enter your nickname because we plan to have a leadderboard and announce the fastest racer on our twitter @lonelyvertex on September 14. If you want, you can insert your twitter name in a format “@your_twitter_name” and we will mention you in the winner announcing tweet.
Also we will be happy if you tweet us a screenshot of your mammoth, praise or a bug.

============= 72 sleepless hours =============
This is the first time that our whole team colaborated and conducted a group sleepover. We were pleasantly surprised, how much we accomplished. Although the most rewarding part is that we know what we are lacking and what we should work on.
