clown town 1443
I’m just gonna say it, I honestly expected a lot worse going into this.
But I’m glad to say that this game certainly didn’t disappoint. Taking inspiration from the classic era of flash games, this game follows a well-established formula with a few extra strings attached. Simple but challenging, short and sweet, it is definitely worth picking up.
While the graphics in some aspects may be somewhat crude, it adds so much to the overall charm the game brings. The gameplay is solid and enjoyable, as physics are used very well to give the car a sense of weight and velocity. Although it is only 10 levels long for the main game, it can be very challenging at times. Especially with the 10 bonus levels you get from getting a high enough score in the endless mode.

I bought clown town 1443 because the developer was in a random unrelated Twitch stream dropping Steam keys out of nowhere. That kind of guerrilla marketing appealed to me and so I decided to purchase the game instead, and that isn’t just me coping for not being fast enough to snag one of the keys despite how generous the developer was in giving them.
As a big Friday Night Funkin' appreciator I have a soft spot for games that are basically love letters to Flash classics, and this game is very clearly wearing its Trials influences on its sleeve. There’s a bit more to it than just a straight clone, as this game features a bit more depth to its mechanics, such as a heat bar that must be managed. You’re free to bump around generally as much as you want, but if you overheat from too much acceleration you temporarily lose control of your vehicle. Crash in this state, and you’ll have to restart the level again.

For all of us that comb our first grey hairs and love racing games, there was a golden age that we remember fondly and that’s when SNK published racing games for their console, the Neo Geo. Games like Over Top (the spiritual successor of the legendary Thrash Rally) and Neo Drift Out came as a breeze of fresh air on a console that was particularly known for its fighting games. Also, one of the arcade kings of the era was World Rally, from Zigurat. These games incorporated a very characteristic isometric view and were known for their excitement, full of adrenaline infused speed that made each race exciting and unforgettable.

```A recommendation with some reservation.
Pros:
- Pleasant 90's PlayStation1-like presentation
- Great arcady music
- Great announcer voice actress (she needs more lines)
- The drifting sounds like Ridge Racer :D (overall the sound effects are pretty good)
- The cars look bright and colorful, also much like Ridge Racer or Auto Modelista (the look of the cars makes this game attractive at first glance)

## 80's OVERDRIVE
This is not the Outrun you're looking for.
1\. The stage themes are nice, bright, and colorful. However, there's 36 stages and only about 5 themes so it gets old fast.
2\. You can buy different cars. However, they are all the same when upgraded so there's no reason except that you like the way one looks.
3\. There's 18 different songs. However, they are all forgettable and there's no option to play them randomly.
4\. If you stick with one car and just upgrade it, the game is really easy until the end when the opponents are just flat out faster than your fully maxed out car.

This game is a new contender among tributes to the 80's and early 90's arcade style racing games. The game plays like a mix of Outrun and the Lotus series. Buying and upgrading new cars works in a bit of a Road Rash fashion, meaning that you have to grind races to earn money which in turn allows you to keep buying more stuff. There isn't much to differentiate between the available cars, which all seem to drive pretty much the same. A bit of a missed opportunity there.
80's Overdrive's entire look is decidely retro in the graphics department which works out nicely, colors pop on screen and the entire 2D style reminds me of something that wouldn't have felt out of place on Sega's Saturn system back in the day. At the start of the game you pick a driver and a car. The driver is just a character portrait, there is no story and there are no interactions at all between you and your opponents before or after races like there is in Road Rash for example. This kind of sucks, because you would expect something like this to be there after seeing all the different characters. There's work that obviously went into creating these, but nothing is done with it. Again we're coming across a fair bit of missed potential here.

## Rick Rack
Clever game, great sound track…. but man...so many idiot drivers.

Don't let the simplicity fool you about this game. It's actually a really fun game where you control all the cars in a time loop so you have to drive your car's path to it's destination smartly so the cars don't collide. Great concept and soundtrack! This game is very enjoyable and worth you time.

## Sparks - Episode One
It’s a small arcade racer with a nice family friendly, and cartoony look, and ambient. Gameplay is good, and the game is polished. I like the tracks, especially the last one, and I like the music. If you are looking for a family friendly arcade racer, then this game is for you.

Sparks - Episode One feels like racing toy cars. It has to be said that it is not a very in depth racing game, and doesn't have many tracks to race on. That being said, this game's focus is more about a casual experience than most other racing games, and includes pleasant music that is unique to each level. Considering that the focus is more on the experience, I would have liked to see more track options for the player (for instance, perhaps changing the race from day to night, which would might the headlamps more useful, or racing in different weather), and car customization would have been nice as well, though there are several cars to choose from.

## Barro Racing
TLDR at the bottom.
To start off, I've played with all Barro games and I liked them. However, this one is really bad.
Basically, you calmly go on the track, and an opponent randomly bumps into you, from which you go straight into the wall, where you can't get out from. If you try steering, it won't work. ~~If you try going backwards (like in Barro 2020), you'll realize that it's no longer a feature.~~ _EDIT: Its actually a feature, it was just set to the wrong joystick._ ~~The only way to get out is to respawn.~~ And because all the bots are close to each other (till the end of the race) you'll be in the wall frequently. And one respawn takes about 1.5 seconds, which is enough for everyone to overtake you.

Minimalist racing game. Even though there is not a lot of content, the game feel is good, playing this game is enjoyable. Also, it is quite cheap, so do not hesitate to give it a try !

## Synth Retro Vapor Wave
its a great game, surpised my GTX 970 works, but the card is pushing at 98% game runs smooth, tried with AI cars, co pilot, all maps seem to work, game settings work with the card i have, this game is alot like what i have on my phone except you can choose to have an open road or traffic, an idea for you is you can have the tracks react with the music, that seems to be fun, i love the idea where this is heading, a map idea you can add i like to see is as you drive you can have lights light up around the track, they ccan change colors, shapes etc. that be cool to see smthing like that react to the music you listening to with awesome trippy effects,

One of the most relaxing games I have played. The gameplay is simple, you drive on a highway and overtake other cars. Or you can play it as an idle game by removing the traffic and just enjoy the scenery while listening to the awesome soundtrack.
