Speedway

Play:

Full screen Touch: Drag the on-screen stick forward to accelerate and left/right to steer · Keyboard: Arrow keys or WASD to steer and accelerate

About:

A pseudo-3D racer built on the LittleJS engine in the Pole Position tradition. The as-found file was missing its viewport meta tag (the same bug found across several LittleJSArcade titles), fixed before this install. Steering's primary code path is mouse-based and dead on touch, but the game falls back to the on-screen stick's axes for gas and steering - confirmed genuinely functional with a real touch drag that took speed from 0 to 174 mph and score from 0 to 2380 over the hold.

Made by A pseudo-3D racer, touch controls confirmed with real speed gains, 2026. Published here under the MIT licence. Source code.

Phone check: 2026-09-08: found the as-served file had no <meta name=viewport> tag (same as other LittleJSArcade titles this cycle), confirmed via window.innerWidth reading 390 only after adding the standard tag. Re-tested with genuine CDP touch: a single sustained drag on the on-screen stick took speed from 0 to 174 mph and score from 0 to 2380, confirming the touch-fallback control path (not the dead mouse-first path) is what actually drives the car. Desktop keyboard input also confirmed working via a real score increase.

Play next:

HexGL A futuristic anti-gravity racer built in WebGL, and still one of the best-looking things running in a browser.

Micro Racer A 3-lap top-down arcade race against AI opponents with real steering and drift physics - confirmed genuinely working on both desktop and phone, though phone players lose the dedicated drift control keyboard players get.
