According to Parata, the title not only revitalizes vehicle customization but also introduces a multiplayer challenge initiation system that allows players to compete <em>against anyone, anytime, and anywhere<\/em> within an open world.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>A distinctive aspect of Punk Runner is the flying car mechanics, which operate with thrusters instead of wheels. Unlike other games where aerial vehicles behave like helicopters or drones, here <strong>the cars maintain a realistic driving feel, which could offer a new dimension to the racing genre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Punk Runner - Cyberpunk Flying Car Racing Game Inspired by Need For Speed Underground 2!
