An ode to the 16-bit era of Micro Machines and the glory days of top-down racers!

While still a ways from the experience I am envisioning, I hope this glimpse into the first area of my game, complete with a tutorial, two modes, and three tracks,  can inspire excitement for the game it will one day become. At least, maybe with the help of a little imagination.

The WebGL version (browser version) is pretty rough. In order to get it to even run in WebGL I had to remove all dynamic lights, and cap the resolution of all texture sizes to 512. If you think the WebGL version has potential, I hope you will check out the downloadable version to see the pretty(er) version!

I appreciate you taking a moment out of your day to take a look at my game page and, hopefully, taking this little car out for a joyride. It means a lot that you would take the time, given the amount of entertainment options we all have these days.

You are awesome.

regrettably and unreliably yours,
