Getaway Shootout propels players into a frenetic race against each other as they leap, dive, and shoot their way to the finish line. The game distinguishes itself with an unconventional control scheme that emphasizes physics-based movement, creating chaotic and humorous gameplay. Players choose from a variety of quirky characters, each attempting to be the first to reach an escape vehicle at the end of multiple rooftop levels. Unlike traditional racing games, players must use guns, grenades, and other power-ups to disrupt their opponents while skillfully navigating a series of obstacles and platforms that add complexity to the race.
