About This Game

  • Fast paced action
  • Earn credits to buy faster cars
  • Race cleanly to improve your Simple Rating

  • 18 unique cars to attain

How to Play

Use you arrow keys or wasd keys to drive. Its as simple as that, and thats how it was made. From the beginning our intention was to not offer any controller support to give every casual player a level playing field. Its also more fun for just a quick race, no need to spend time setting up any controllers!

Simple Rating

Simple Rating is an individual player rank that goes from 0 to 99. Everyone starts on 45, but depending on whether you finish or not your races and drive cleanly this can rise and fall. Simple Rating is visible to all players in a lobby.

Developer and Future Updates

As Simple Racing is a hobby project and therefore an indie game, updates will be small and irregular. However, there is already a plan to add wet weather races and different tyres! Dont be panicked though if it takes time because this is a side project I have been working on while in middle school.

This game true to it's title, is very VERY simple (most people might even considered it as lackluster). You race around a track (randomly selected) with 7 other players/AI (8 including yourself). As you race cleanly you will get "Simple Points" for your "Simple Ratings" (basically a Clean Driving rating), it's there just so people can see and judge how dirty or clean you are. You get money and buy some better cars and... that's it. Pros + A pretty solid handling physics (leans toward the grippy and understeery handling for cleaner racing line), no stereotypical "brake to drift" mechanic from most arcade racers + Online Multiplayer, you can pick 3 regions (US, EU, Asia) + Ghosting mid-race (or as the game called, collision avoidance) prevents Forza players from playing like a Forza player, neat + Penalty for corner cutting, really unexpected from such a simple game + Plenty of track variety + Plenty of cars Meh = Too simple / lacking features (although that is to be expected) = Can't...

Generally, concept of simple racing game with low requirements appeals to me. This game can be ideal for playing short sessions on notebook or even ultrabook (On my Dell Latitude E7240 game runs in 30fps on lowest). Driving model is very simple (your car will never oversteer for example), so you can focus on racing, not fighting with car, however it requiers some learning at the beginning. Unfortunately there are very few players in online mode at this moment, so you'll more often compete with bots raather than human players. For me, this game is also too simple. Apart from actual racing you can choose server, car (18 models inspired by real supercars), go to lobby and wait for race in practise mode. If somebody connect to your lobby you will race with him. If not - you will race with bots. That's all. I think some simple tuning system would be nice addition. Graphics is simple and legible, and that's all I can say about it. Big plus for Linux version (working out-of-the-box) Overall...

It's a great game for simple fun, quick races without high stakes. Even though collision avoidance bugs out sometimes and leaves you freefalling underneath the map, and the things the dev said they fixed in the last update weren't fixed for me (Although I'm on Mac, maybe that's the reason), I would suggest the buy. 3 dollars is a fair price, and a could be a good investment -- as it's a new game and will develop further. P.S. for the dev: Practice is the correct spelling. C, not S.

Just what it needs. It has the features of a racing game. It is not pay to win, and it's fun above all. I highly recommend this game to everyone.
