Chapter 3 - The Race
Synopsis Bolzo is a great canal runner, but he knows he’s no match for Koru, which is why he has no intention of playing fair. Koru manages to stay on his heels even though the Red Gang throws everything they have at him. In the end, Bolzo crosses the finish line before them, and Tap is furious about that, accusing him of sabotage before the race judge. Bolzo swears revenge and runs off, the judge reluctantly declares the after race party canceled. Frustrated, Koru and Tap head back to the hideout. The entire Red Gang is waiting for them at home. As things escalate, Bolzo throws a heavy punch at Tap, hurting him badly. Koru goes into a wild frenzy, beating up everyone around him while Bolzo runs off. Having chased of the last red minion, Koru finds Tap lying in the grass, whimpering in pain.

Trivia
 * The gibberish countdown at the start was a joke we made during recording sessions and never intended to be in the final game.
 * The fake cardboard spectators, together with the cardboard trees, are some of the oldest models in the game.
 * Bolzo actually waits for you on one occasion to guarantee the feeling that you are close behind him. He actually runs a little faster than Koru, though you can still get close if you use dodging to gain speed.


 * After you return from the race track, the fishermen trio has migrated down to sea level, where they fruitlessly attempt to make a catch.


 * It was clear fairly early that Koru had to enter the Tower of Colortown to call the Bleakness, however the decision to have Tap being hurt by Bolzo and to use this as the main motivator came very late in development.
