Press "ESC" to pause!

This is our first top-down racer (where you have to complete laps) - the great thing is, competition in races dynamically adjusts to your skill. After a few races you'll be able to afford new buggys that will out-perform your rivals. It's down to your power-sliding in the sand skills to the beat competition and world lap-times.

Controls are very simple, just the arrow keys! We hope you enjoy our latest game :)

This game seemed to have really loose controls. I couldn't get a good grip. I didn't really like how it was so easy to get off course. Then again, maybe I'm just bad at this. It's nice that you know where you are with the flames. I knew it would be too easy to cheat.

That was a pretty creative system. This is why I'll never speedrace in real life. It would be too dangerous for me. The sounds were pretty nice. I wouldn't quite recommend this, though.

Heehee

Even though i had horrible lag problems i had to play it some while. Nice game good drifting feel to it!!! Musics are just annoying :D Sound are nice and graphs enough to say....

cool

It was a great game. Cool drift mechanic, decent graphics, solid difficulty level. I wish there was more customizable options for your car, not just leveling up. You should be able to purchase different components for your car like tires, engines, chastises, etc. There could've been more environments instead of always racing in the dessert. Maybe a muddy forest level, or snowy tundra. It's a cool game, but it could've had a bit more content.

nice offroad game, one slight problem

I found everything was pretty good, the graphics, details, etc, even the drifting, and upgrades definitely made you kick ass (I had to do a few tracks several times to catch up enough cr to upgrade and get 1st place on higher levels).

The one problem I found was that drifting off the track (the darker area) didn't slow down the car much or any at all, and this allowed the computer to just drift through the cones not in the way the track goes, but however they like

in the end, I made my own racing lines and still beat the game (computers over drift anyway lol) but you gotta make the non-track areas slow down the car atleast 50% more or less

Nice

Nice little race game you got there.
I am not so intrested in race games like this one because i hate the steering sysytem.
But after a couple of races i got used to it and then you play out the game very fast.
What about adding some extra features, more upgrades and more lvls.
If you do that you even got a nicer game, keep it up!
