Taken from the FAQ:

What is Proun?
Proun is a strange racing game in a world of geometric objects and large coloured surfaces. You avoid obstacles by rotating around a cable in order to gain as much speed as possible. There is no up or down; there is only the cable to which you are attached.

What does Pay what you want mean?
It means that you can set your own price for Proun! If you like Proun, then you can pay what you think it is worth. If you don't want to pay for the game, then you can just download it for free. You can also first download the game for free to try it, and then pay for it after you have decided what you think it is worth.

Why is Proun released as Pay what you want?
Because it is a very fair way to pay for something, and because I want as many people as possible to enjoy Proun. At the same time, I hope people who like Proun will support me in making more games! Some of my next projects are really weird, so some support to get those started would be awesome! For further explanation, please read this blogpost.

What features does Proun have?
-4 unlockable speeds, from relaxed to insanely fast
-2-4 player splitscreen
-Joystick support
-Online highscores
-Championship mode
-Race against ghosts of all your previous times
-3 regular tracks, 1 unlockable bonus track, and 1 bonus track for those who pay for the game
-Highly moddable: tools and documentation to create your own levels are included with the game

What are the minimum system requirements for Proun?
A PC with Windows XP, Vista or 7. Proun will run on almost any computer. In case of doubt, just download for free and give it a try! Afterwards, if it runs and you enjoy it, please pay what you think it is worth!

[Alien Bob]

Paid.

 

[Angry Fork]

I love when companies experiment like this. I'm gonna try it out when I get home and see if I like it. I hope this works out well for them, screenshots look nice.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

I'm paying 25 bucks.

 

[Stallion Free]

Here's a shot of split-screen:

 

[ultron87]

Wow, that looks great. I will definitely give it a shot when I get home.

 

[filipe]

Downloading for free first, if I end up spending more than 5 minutes with the game, I'll pay something.

 

[hawkshockey11]

downloaded the free version to see how it plays

 

[Alien Bob]

I am really glad I never suffer from motion sickness

 

[eXistor]

Downloaded for free at work, might buy if it's fun at home.

 

[kever0nicas]

This in 3D would be like a rollercoaster ride.

Definitely buying this.

 

[mxgt]

Wow this game is fun, will buy the full version

 

[eXistor]

Good thing I dl'd for free. Apparently our PC at work isn't strong enough to run it! I'll give it a shot later at home.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Having played about an hour, I can safely say that this game is pretty great.

I love that the slowest mode is called fast. Can't imagine what the fastest is like.

 

[jaypah]

Hell. Yes. Been waiting for this, game looks sick.

 

[Ceebs]

Trying the free version. Will go back for the paid if it's as good as it looks.

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah, they're getting $10 from me.

On another note, can someone recommend me music of the style in the main trailer? It seems almost like the auditory equivalent of the games art-deco visuals.

I'm currently on supersonic

Shit ain't easy.

 

[Dead Prince]

Bought it for $3. will try when i get home.

 

[Milabrega]

Looks great.

 

[jediyoshi]

Recorded some gameplay

Interesting how much of the visuals you stop paying attention to when you're actually playing

 

[TheBez]

A map making tool for this game would be so amazing. The look is already gorgeous but imagine what a community could do.

I'm making a level right now for this game

It's simple so I should have it up tomorrow most likely.

 

[Brobzoid]

grrrresat. didn't know this was out. Will waste tomorrrow picking at it.

How hard is it to design a level for this? DO you need any specific software. If it's not too difficult I'd love to take a crack at it.

Yeah, unfortunately you need 3d program called 3ds Max to make the levels, which costs quite a bit of money.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm buying this right now.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Works great with motionjoy 360 pad emulation btw.

Man the look is simple but it looks and moves fantastically.

The game itself is really fun. It's so simple but I wonder why no one thought of this before.

BUY THIS GAME. DON'T BE CHEAP.

 

[nexen]

looks good. hope it is fun.

 

[-PXG-]

This looks great

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Looks awesome, but it crashes out before loading on my rig.

 

[orioto]

It's pretty hard to see when i'm gonna hit an obstacle, i would need the "free" side of the road to have a different color, sometimes it's confusing. But the game is georgous

 

[Dead Prince]

blender won't work?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

It's free for students

 

[The M.O.B]

blender won't work?

Nope, you have to have some specific plugins that only work with 3ds Max.

It's free for students

This works too, and if your not a student there is a 30 day trial available as well I suppose.

 

[Mairu]

This game is pretty sweet.

 

[Qwomo]

No online multiplayer?

Picking it up anyway, though. Looks sweet.

 

[Salsa]

oh shit this is out, awesome

will get some money tomorrow and spend a nice amount on it, looks awesome

 

[Brazil]

Picked it up for 5 dollars. Cool game.

Weird screen tearing issues with everything on max, though.

 

[Red]

Very cool game. Reminds me of Uniracers.

 

[Grayman]

This is fun. The first track seems the hardest of the 3 unlocked by default. I am going to play more before deciding how much to pay for it.

 

[The M.O.B]

Anybody else trying to make a track in 3ds Max? I can't get it to export the track, it freezes every time I click export.

 

[Carm]

I was looking at this on RPS, I didn't see it mentioned there or on the offical forums regarding DRM. Is there any? It would be the only thing stopping me from buying it, no chance of it being on Steam.

 

[Keikaku]

I have 3DS Max. Send me the file and I'll see if I can export it. PM to get my email

 

[The M.O.B]

Just saw your post, PM Sent.

I messed around with it some more but now the progress bar fills up when I click export but then before it finishes I get an error that says "--Runtime error: Filestream cannot create: ******.mesh.xml"

No clue what the problem is.

 

[SumGamer]

Tried the free version, I really like the visual of this game. However I'm not big fan of racing game . Still considering if I should buy it or not. it's pretty fun though.

 

[KevinCow]

I hate to be Mr. Negative, but this is far more fun to look at than it is to actually play.

 

[Snuggles]

I bought it, why not.

 

[Snuggles]

So there is no 1080p option yet? It's still kinda fun to asd your ball across the tube but they should have proper rez support.

Uh...
