In a statement, studio co-founder Fiona Sperry said the game is directly inspired by Crash Mode from the Burnout series, in which players used cars to destroy environmental objects to earn points.
“We are going back to our roots by creating a game in a genre we are truly passionate about,” Sperry said. “Danger Zone takes what made the Crash Mode featured in 2004’s Burnout 3: Takedown so popular and transforms it into an all-new car-crashing, arcade-style puzzle game.”

In Danger Zone, players have to use their cars to trigger massive explosions for points. During crashes, players can also use other cars in traffic and payloads from larger vehicles to manipulate explosions to increase their scale. With enough points, players can also access SmashBreaker mode, which lets a car explode to further increase a player's in-game score.
