San Francisco, April 8, 2024 | If you dodged the bullets last week and missed the mayhem of MANIAC, now is your chance to still get the game for the cost of an oat milk latte. Developed by Transhuman Design, MANIAC maintains a 91% Steam score with over 500 Very Positive reviews. The game is still on sale for a whopping $4.49, so skip the coffee line this morning and steal a SWAT van to cause chaos. Enjoy the lunacy of classic top-down Grand Theft Auto with the “just one more try” addictive nature of Vampire Survivors.

  In MANIAC, players turn against an unsuspecting society to wreak havoc with guns, cars, and yes even tanks. Lose your mind trying to commit the highest level of crimes as citizens, police, and even the military try to stop you. How far will the crime spree spiral out of control? With loads of upgrades and better weapons available on the black market, advancing to the next round brings more chaos to the unsuspecting city.


MANIAC KEY GAME FEATURES:

 

  • Six insane characters with unique abilities. Cause chaos with Drunk Santa, Hot Dog Guy, and even clowns.

  • Heart-pounding chase-driven action built on explosive physics and destruction

  • With each new crime, the law gets more ticked off - police, FBI, military, special forces and more will all be on your tail

  • Buy guns, explosives, and special items to keep your runs going longer


Unlockable items and upgrades across all characters - better guns, landmines, sturdier cars, and more cash-per-crime. The upgrade path is yours to choose!   Are you a creator? Check out the Keymailer here!


MANIAC is available for purchase on Steam for the incredibly low price of $4.49 USD. For more information about the game, please visit the Steam Page.
