Urban Race 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 Urban Race gives you a car (or something like one) that you can actually learn: brake late, steer smooth, and the lap times start dropping. Its tags tell you what to expect: it is based on a real sport.
About Urban Race
Get ready to hit the streets in Urban Race, a thrilling driving adventure that tests your skills and reflexes! As you take control of your car, you'll need to navigate through a bustling urban environment filled with various obstacles. Avoid collisions with cars, street signs, and other hazards as you race down the pavement. The longer you survive, the more
Judged as a racing game, Urban Race hits the notes you would hope for: a scoring system based on time, position or distance, tracks or roads that reward memorisation and responsive steering. Playing it works your anticipation and anticipation, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.
How to play Urban Race
- Start by clicking the big play button. Urban Race loads inside the frame; give it a moment, especially on a slow connection.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Use A and S to steer your car or use the on-screen arrows on your mobile device
- Do a warm-up lap without worrying about position. Feel how the vehicle brakes and turns, then race for real.
- Switch to full screen if precision matters, and remember that the game keeps its own progress — finish a level before you close the tab.
Controls
Here is how Urban Race is controlled, based on the developer's instructions and our own testing:
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys | Use A and S to steer your car or use the on-screen arrows on your mobile device. |
The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
Tips and tricks
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- 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.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
Who will enjoy it
Urban Race is a good fit for anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best. Expect 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.
