The only control is tapping the screen to turn your car left.

I built this mostly with Fable 5 over the course of a few weeks. I had to tweak a fair amount of the graphics to get them where I wanted, but 100% of the code was written by Fable 5.

The idea was to make a really simple top-down retro racing game that runs entirely in the browser. You can also save it to your phone as a PWA.

I wanted it to be immediately playable with basically no instructions, something you can open, play for a few minutes while killing time, close, and come back to later.

Would love to hear what you think.

This is fun, reminds me of a game when I was a kid but I can't put my finger on it

    Thank you. After the first playable version, it reminded me of Micro Machines for the NES.

this is hilarious.. love it. Reminds me of Zoolander lol

i also did something similar with a learning game for kids, where moving the car requires typing in the correct keys on the keyboard.
