Tiny Tracks. Fast Laps


Driftmania is an arcade time trial racing game. Your goal is to get the fastest possible time on each of the 15 challenging tracks


Controls (Racing)

  • Up Arrow or Z: Accelerate
  • Down Arrow: Brake + Reverse
  • Left Arrow: Turn left
  • Right Arrow: Turn right
  • X: D-Brake
  • R: Restart level
  • P: Pause game + Options menu


Controls (Menu)

  • Arrow keys: navigate selection
  • Z or X: Select


Tips

  • You turn faster when holding the D-Brake
  • Take a good look at the minimap before starting a track. You need to anticipate the turns to get the best times
  • Grass does not slow you down. It reduces traction, which you can use to your advantage for drifting!
  • Driving over yellow tiles will activate boost. Boost works with whatever direction you're facing - it doesn't matter where the arrow on the ground is pointing
  • Garage customizations do not change car handling. Make your car look however you want it to!
  • An optional ghost can be enabled in the pause menu. Replays are lost when exiting a track


Changelog

1.0.1:

  • Reduced medal difficulty across most tracks
  • Reduced medal requirements for unlocking new tracks
  • Ghost now defaults to ON


1.1.0:

  • Revised D4: optional first jump pad, bigger second jump pad
  • Arrow keys can now be used to change track selection and garage customization
  • Additional medal tuning
  • Fixed NG medal unlocks for some broken All Silver / All Gold medals

i love it

Yeah! I got level A1 first place on scoreboard!

Great game. Platinum medals were hard to get but not to an absurd level. I'd love for this to be further developed into a fully-fledged game, with different terrains, multiplayer and that sort of stuff. I'd buy it! <3

Congrats on getting all Platinums! I don't have any plans to develop this game further, but who knows, maybe one day I'll revisit it

Sooo challenging, but sooo fun, some of the turns feel like bullshit, but it's a small weight on a the scale of good-to-bad with this game. Somehow, someway, I got all platinums, and words will not describe my sense of elation and accomplishment right now (If not a little bit because I'm thinking "Thank GOD I'm done!" )

Frenchie14 responds:

Congrats on getting all platinums! Those times were based on my personal records while developing the game
