Propanol

Hover combat racing

Propanol is a PC hover combat racer inspired by Hi-Octane and Wipeout. You race across circuits, fire machine guns at rivals ahead and drop mines behind you. Finishing first isn’t enough: every craft uses fuel and takes hull damage, so you’ll need to decide when to pit. The crew can refuel, rearm and repair your craft, but time in the pit lane gives the field a chance to pass.

Craft and pit strategy

Six craft have different strengths and weaknesses. The Kestrel is an all-rounder, the Sprinter is fast but has a small tank, and the Hauler is slow to stop but hard to kill. The Skimmer, Lance and Gnat round out the selection. No craft is simply the best; your choice affects how often you pit and how much you can fight.
