Tips and tricks
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- If the game has upgrades, put the first ones into handling or brakes rather than top speed — control wins more races than raw power at the beginning.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
