404 Rally

Racing, Arcade 2020 Single player Moderate

Slide a hover drone around four checkpoint tracks.

A 404 Rally race under way on the orange desert track: grey and green hover drones strung out across the sand between huge grey rock hills, a glowing green checkpoint gate ahead of the player, purple checkpoint cones at the roadside and a lap counter reading 1 / 2.

About 404 Rally

A top-down 3D racer that fits in thirteen kilobytes, written for js13kGames 2020 on a hand-written WebGL renderer and a small circle-physics engine. Each of the four tracks is two laps of checkpoint gates against a pack of AI drones, and contact is a bounce with a shield flare rather than a wreck. Finish first and the next track opens with faster opponents.
