A few weeks have passed since we announced the fast and thrilling LiveWire #8 event- Tricycle Terror and while we had planned to move ahead with a full release of Rude Racers' Early Access, the pesky virus and it's unfortunate repercussions have forced us to postpone things a little longer. Regardless of these little setbacks, rest assured that the pack of hounds at Famous Dogg is as hungry as ever to continue to deliver gut-busting, hell-raising and truly fast and furious action in Rude Racers! [b]We are pleased to introduce the first cross-platform LiveWire event for event no. 9 in the LiveWire Series- Bad Blood! [/b]This is the first time that users on Steam and Android (using Google Play Game Services) can compete with each other for the top three spots!

With racing in their DNA and a constant competition for the bragging rights in the world of mean street racing, the rivalry hit boiling point when Jose got his own custom red Torpedo bike to rival Sanchez's blue Torpedo.[/b] It's now time to settle the score as the two decide to go off the city limits and put their racing and combat skills to the ultimate test at the slippery and danger-prone shipyard. [b]Fire up Rude Racers NOW, take control of Jose Hoodlum and ride out on his fiery new Torpedo bike in an intense Head 2 Head battle to teach Sanchez a lesson he'd never forget![/b] Since this LiveWire is the "Chosen One" to go along with the big launch of Rude Racers, we are also upping the ante and increasing the cash that we are giving out to the top three racers in the form of Steam Gift Cards: [b]First place- $15 Second place- $10 Third place- $5 With gift cards of a total worth at $30, this is the biggest and most rewarding event in the LiveWire series to date![/b] [i]------------------------- Terms and Conditions: - To keep the competition fair, we are no longer able to consider leaderboard entries from users with access to the beta versions of Rude Racers (PC/Mac only) - The Steam Gift Card will be awarded to the user at the top of the leaderboard. - Users participating in a non-steam version of the game are not eligible for the Gift Cards. - We reserve the right to make changes to the gameplay and/ or the competition's duration without prior notice. - For leaderboard entries of different users who have the same best time at the top of the leaderboard, we will rely on our internal data to determine which user achieved the time in fewer attempts and declare them the winner. - Gift Cards' actual value will vary for users based on their geography and other settings on Steam.
