Nitronic Rush Update #2 (Christmas Update)
In the spirit of Christmas and the holiday season, today we’re shipping an update to version 2011.12.25.0. The update is a small gift to our players, with a new Christmas themed Stunt level and a couple small requested tweaks.
Just like last time, to update you simply need to download the newest version of Nitronic Rush on our download page, uninstall the game, and run the new installer. Your old scores and ghosts should be fine and won’t be deleted. You can read the full changelist below.
[Soundtrack Update]
We also posted a sample song from the upcoming soundtrack today! The song is called End to a Violent Heart and was the song used in the Release Announcement Trailer. You can listen to, download, and comment on the song on here on Soundcloud.

Nitronic Rush is an experimental survival driving game. Using the car’s many abilities (including boost, wings, and jump), avoid obstacles that the city throws at you. In many ways the game is a tribute to racing games of the 1990s but with fresh graphics, audio, and gameplay.
