And it's HTML5 only, so playing it is really easy as well! \r\n\r\nOne Screen Racer is an overhead time trial racer in the spirit of Super Sprint. Can you win the gold trophy?\r\n\r\nI wrote the physics from scratch, which was probably a mistake, but it was an interesting project. I spent a lot of time making a game that would allow additional track creation easy - but ended up not having enough time to create any additional tracks. A lot of recorded sound and music is missing as well. Watch out for the post-competition version though!","title":"One Screen Racer"}
