Description

Games for dummies: A bunch of anonymous ATMs act like bumper cars in an arena, roaming around set on a desolate square quay surrounded by an infinite ocean. As a first-person player, you ram into other bot ATMs before they hit you to earn cash. Spoiler: you always lose. Designed for PC, using keyboard or Xbox controller. Play @Kunstmuseumgelsenkirchen or download for free to play at home!
