This is an elegant and extremely well-tuned game that's designed with the ethos of a golden age arcade classic, but is also original enough that you can't make a 1-to-1 comparison with any particular game from that era. As with all the best games in this mode, the core mechanics are very simple. You drive a car from left to right and dodge through traffic, while the scoring system rewards you for going fast and intentionally cutting it close when passing other cars. As you would hope, these simple mechanics give way to some very complex dynamics that reward repeat playthroughs, and many layers of depth are revealed as you slowly increase your high score. I've had the pleasure of attending a venue with a permanently-installed Bumpy Grumpy arcade cabinet, and I can report that the high-score competition is incredibly fierce. I bought it here so I could practice at home, and I have found it to be a fun and addictive way to pass the time. Give it a shot!
