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

Actually really addicting lmfao, found myself playing this for nearly an hour

Thought it was bullshit but then after ages and deciding to look at some speedruns and the gold medal tutorial, I have gotten all the medals EXCEPT D4!!! BECAUSE EVEN IF I GET THE JUMP I STILL GET SILVER, I AM AT 36.15!!!! WHYYYY.

Edit: I have done it, 34.56 i am free.

Second Edit: The rainbow rider medal is for platinum on all tracks, what cruelty is this. I got platinum on A1 after giving up on getting platinum from A3, being 0.36 away from platinum. The keys on my 8 year old laptop are going to break, they will shatter.

Nice

Wonderful game all around! I love intuitive games with a simple design that can be instantly understood but take a long time to master. This game is exactly that!

cool game but I'm so bad🖕🖕 it's no wonder that I haven't gotten a driver's license and I only take the subway. I managed to do everything except drive
