Pocket Racers is a tilt-shift toy car racer with full physics. Drive die-cast cars across tabletop tracks — drift the carpet, slide the kitchen tile, fling off the garage workbench. Race 8 named AI bots across 40 tracks in three modes (Lap, Knockout, Ring Rush). A built-in Crash Cam auto-clips your biggest wreck so you can share it.

How to play
Controls
Accelerate:↑ or W.
Brake / reverse:↓ or S (reverse speed is capped).
Steer:←→ or AD.
Drift:Space — tap it into the corner, ride the slide out.
Mobile: on-screen pedal + steering arrows (side-mounted on tablets).
Tips & strategy
Drift before the corner, not in it — the toy-car physics keeps you sliding all the way through the apex. Reverse is capped so a quick tap usually beats a long hold when you wedge into a wall. On Ring Rush, plot the order through the rings instead of just grabbing the closest one — the route matters more than top speed. If steering feels stuck at low speed, wiggle the wheel — it'll shake the car free.
Fullscreen
Hit the Fullscreen button in the bar above the play area to expand. To exit, press Esc (or swipe down from the top edge on touch) and tap the Exit button that slides in.
Racing notes
Driving line
Pocket Racers is a small racing game with a big lesson: exits matter more than entrances. Enter a corner a little slower if it lets you point the car straight and accelerate earlier. Sliding looks dramatic, but a clean exit wins more races.
Race management
Watch traffic and track width before committing to a pass. If a rival blocks the inside line, set up a wider arc and beat them on the next straight. Short tracks magnify mistakes, so one calm lap often beats three reckless ones.
Why it belongs
It adds a compact racing option to the library for players who want competition without sim complexity. The controls are deliberately simple, leaving room for track knowledge and timing to carry the depth.
