Monday blues got you down? Well, worry not. Honda’s turned your web browser into a mobile gaming platform with its “Beat That!” driving video game (click here to try it out). The best part is since it runs on HTML5, there’s absolutely nothing to install—all you need is a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
Free to play on desktop and mobile devices, “Beat That” lets players race in one 6 vehicles from Honda’s premium brand, Acura. Each Acura vehicle offers its own unique driving character and performance attributes, ranging from the 1991 NSX to the Acura’s latest design, the Type S Concept.
“Beat That” is the first mobile racing game where visuals from each individual level match the styles that were prevalent in games from that specific car’s era. As the game progresses, so do the years featured in the graphic treatments and music.
Beating a specific lap time unlocks the next level of the game for racing. Once a player completes a lap, they can challenge a friend to “Beat That”, by completing a lap at a faster time. With 6 tracks in total, it blends everything from 8-bit to some more photorealistic, akin to today’s modern driving games.
You can check the game out for yourself here (if you have access to Facebook games, you can check it here) and for those who’re planning to play this in their office, don’t worry—the audio is muted by default so you can actually pretend to be working.
