A playable night-time arcade racer sends twelve cars up fifteen hairpins, using real-world route and elevation data beneath a star field.

For
Players who like short, atmospheric arcade races
Worth noticing
The road is explicitly stylised; its elevation comes from SRTM, while the star field cites the Yale Bright Star Catalogue.

Field notes

Controls are listed for both touchscreens and keyboard: hold either screen side to steer, both sides to brake, and tap boost; a double tap on a red-flame boost triggers a flight. The page also exposes a small game loop: the garage crew gets one job before the next race, and a top-three finish grants the starting red flame. The project credits OpenStreetMap contributors for the road and SRTM terrain data.
