Friender Bender is a local-multiplayer sabotage driving game where up to 4 players take turns controlling 1 car, screwing each other over with power-ups and deliberately terrible driving. If the player crashes while driving, they lose a life. If they lose all of their lives, they're eliminated. The last player left driving is the winner!

Based on Sabotage Rally from episode 26 of Cool Games Inc.!

Hey guys, any chance for a Linux version? It looks like you're using Unity, so exporting to Linux should be fairly simple.

Thank you for the interest! We really wish we could export to Linux, but sadly the controller plugin we're using isn't supported, so it would require substantial re-writing of the game :(

That sucks. It might work in Wine, but hopefully you decide to port it sometime in the future. Thanks for the response though.
