A Day at the Homunculus Races by PaulSB
*Requires Unity Web Player*
Roll up, one and all! The eminent doctors Crank, Fryx and Nebeldew offer up the latest fruits of their laboratories for an exciting day of racing action! Care for a punt? You do not possess any dollarz? Well we can give you a little head start. But you only get one...
Pick your champion and double your stake at the homunculus races! Information on the specimens is scant, but over time can you learn which racers are the more viable on each track? Good luck!
Made with Unity. Art with Inkscape and GIMP.
Sorry no audio on this one! Listen to some nice music instead. You deserve it.

Haha, nice to spend some time laughing my ass off and gnashing my teeth over which of the random creeps can win. Maybe this is why I shouldn't go to Las Vegas? This game's a blast!

bet $100 and won! interesting concept... it would be nice if the racers were more dynamic, i.e., randomly generated... for example, height is related to acceleration, arm length is related to how fast they get tired, etc... (though maybe that would be too hard to figure out!) something like that...

Cool, it reminded me of the countless 2p coins I lost on this sort of game as a kid in the arcade :)

Nice game! Maybe you could add local multiplayer. It would be nice to compete against other players!
