Hello all. I’ve designed an arcade-style game for my band, Restraining Order.

[Gig Racer game](http://www.restrainingorderband.com/gigracer)

It was launched on our website a few weeks ago, and, like our animated video, it was created as a marketing tool to drive more traffic to our site and increase album sales. So far it’s doing very well for us.

It’s fully functional, so play to your hearts’ content. There is mild nudity if you select the HR (Hard Rockin’) play mode - if that’s not to your liking, there is a more friendly PW mode, safe for Playing at Work. Game mode/rating can be changed on the fly during game play, by clicking the rating button.

Spacebar jumps, arrow keys move.

Boxes are bad, anything else (all music gear) is good to collect.

If you rescue all five band members, there is a short animation.

Enjoy, any feedback is welcome.

Steve
