Emoticons is one of the racing games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Racing games live or die on how the vehicle feels, and Emoticons gives you a car (or something like one) that you can actually learn: brake late, steer smooth, and the lap times start dropping. A few things the tags reveal: success depends on precision and timing rather than luck; it has touch controls and layouts made for phones and tablets.

Judged as a racing game, Emoticons hits the notes you would hope for: a scoring system based on time, position or distance, tracks or roads that reward memorisation and a sense of speed. The skills it leans on are timing and risk management; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.
How to play Emoticons

Controls
You will not need a manual for Emoticons, but knowing the inputs before you start saves the first minute of fumbling:
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|

Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
Who will enjoy it
Who is Emoticons for? In a word, anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best. A typical session is a single race of one to three minutes, or a longer career if unlocks are involved. Difficulty-wise it is forgiving on early tracks, demanding on later ones. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
