FAQ
It is $10.19 on Steam during its launch discount, down from an $11.99 base price. It released in Early Access on October 27, 2026.
Yes, by the developer's own words: the store page says it is a hover combat racer inspired by Bullfrog's Hi-Octane and Psygnosis's Wipeout.
Yes. Two players can race split-screen on one screen against each other and the field, each with their own profile, credits and boosters.
The store page does not give a circuit count. It lists circuits across four biomes (desert, industrial, mountains and forest) and says more are planned during Early Access.
Details
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
Propanol is a hover combat racer where finishing first is only half the job: your tank runs dry, your hull takes holes, and the pit lane shows up while you are still fighting for position.
Every craft burns fuel and takes damage, and the pit crew refuels, rearms and patches you up while rivals keep racing, so the stop itself is the strategic decision.
Machine guns clear the road ahead and mines punish whoever is sitting on your tail, with limited ammo forcing you to pick your moments.
The game is in Early Access, and the store page states that new craft, weapons and biomes are planned.
There are six hover craft: Kestrel as the all-rounder, Sprinter as quick with a small tank, Hauler as slow to stop and hard to kill, plus Skimmer, Lance and Gnat, and the store page insists no craft is simply the best.
Circuits are grouped by biome: desert with pyramids, ruins and sandstorms that push your craft around, industrial refineries and a canyon dam, mountain bridges and tunnels with a sprint across a frozen lake, and a forest with a river track, a cave behind a waterfall and a storm over an old stone bridge.
Three competitions are offered: the Sprint Cup, the Grand Trophy and the full Championship, where you score points in every race and need a podium finish to take the trophy.
Finishing pays credits, and credits buy one-race boosters such as more ammo, an extra mine, more armour, a bigger tank, more grip or more top speed.
The store page states plainly that Propanol is inspired by two legends, Bullfrog's Hi-Octane and Psygnosis's Wipeout, which is the only comparison the description makes (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
It also carries over the developer's own lineage, being from the developer of Baryum and Petrix, so the pitch is aimed at players who already like that studio's arcade racers (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
Split-screen for two players on one screen is presented as a headline feature, so it suits a second controller more than a solo grind (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
The store page also lists three difficulty levels, vertical loops and banked walls, a training mode on every unlocked circuit, Steam Cloud saves, achievements and ten languages (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
