Hey folks!

I'm asking for a little help with categorizing "Bloody Rally Show" on Steam. You can help out by going to the BRS store page as a logged in user, either in the browser or through your Steam client, and then clicking on the little plus button next to the list of tags. There you can check the checkboxes on the tags you feel are suitable for this game.

This will help raise visibility of the game a ton, because otherwise it will be buried in the never ending stream of asset flips and shovelware.

Thank you!
spajus
