When everyone fails all players must ‘work together’ to modify the track before they try again. Think strategic, build sneaky routes and trick your opponents with nifty traps and obstacles. Experiment endlessly with tons of track parts and win in unthinkable ways. Play with up to four friends (online or offline) in this action packed living playground. After you ruined all your friendships you can dive into the single player speed run challenges.

Erikson grew up to become a contemporary artist fascinated with playing. His talent did not go unseen in the contemporary art world, his work can be found all across the globe. Over the course of the last few years, his work evolved from gigantic sculptures and paintings via animations to games.

Fromto has such a remarkable art style because it was partially drawn by the developer’s children! Also, the gameplay was influenced by the idea how kids play, so racing and jumping your car through ‘impossible’ tracks which must be modified in-game… together. Crazy! When you see Fromto, you will fall in love with it, when you play it you will become addicted...

Be honest: sometimes you wish you could be a child again, don’t you? No bills to pay, no long-term planning - just playing all day and having fun.

Headup and Studio Erikson will bring back a glimpse of those wonderful days as they announced an Open Beta for their 2D party racing game Fromto.

Starting next Thursday, May 2nd, on Steam, get ready to become a child again when previewing this side splitting experience. The Beta will be free for everyone - just check out the game’s Discord Channel for getting one of the 1000 free Beta keys!

In the Open Beta you’re going to play some brand-new levels with up to four drivers (offline and online), and sink into an experience which brings back some nostalgic feelings. Play Fromto with strangers or together with friends or your family; and learn how creative they are when it’s about getting the better of parents, siblings or friends!

Creativity is a big part of the game; after every round of racing all players will find or buy new components for tweaking the levels in their favor. With many crazy parts to find, it’s always a big joy to check out what those are doing. Regardless if you’ll win or crash and burn - you’ll be laughing all the time!

More specific Beta information:

• 25 single player levels
• 10 insane multiplayer levels
• Lots of secrets
• About 50 different parts to manipulate the levels!
• 10 different cars to unlock
• Destructible terrain
• Unseen art style partially made by the dev’s young kids
• Super high replayability

Fromto is primarily intended as multiplayer - online as well as local. It also features a hotseat mode so you can play with four friends using only one controller. The single player on the other hand is quite a challenge and offers +25 levels to compete with players around the world to set the best time.

Fromto results quickly in hilarious fun, laughter and yelling because so many random unforeseen and crazy impossible things will happen: After all players collected their vehicle of choice by foot in a short mini-game-like-lobby, they will start the first phase in a quite wild, but pre-set level. All players try to first reach a checkpoint and then the finish line. But this probably won’t happen in the first attempt, it’s more for checking out the level.

After all players finished their try, the magic happens in the second phase: All the little cars turn into helicopters and you’re going to collect different, randomly dropped crates which contain new track parts to place in the pre-set level: This can be helpful things like new platforms, ramps and jump pads or hindering elements such as obstacles and traps for your opponents, or just fun things like a cannon that shoots small bubbles of glue.

In addition to those random pieces, there is a shop for every player where you can buy even more ‘helpful’ things with points earned by performing stunts. Overall, there are more than 50 different parts that can be placed. A time limit will stop your creativity after 60 seconds and the next round will start.

Racing in Fromto is turn-based, while in the build round all players are playing together in real time. (Except for hotseat, of course.) During the build rounds you can both add helpful objects as ramps, and also make the track harder for your opponents as the traps you place will be passive when it is your race turn again. This adds a strategic element to the game. Creating a race track together in which everybody wants to win, often results in some hilarious childish chaos!
