About Pretend Cars Racing

Pretend Cars Racing is an old school top-down racer, featuring split-screen multiplayer, 6 car classes and 30 tracks inspired from real venues.

Its driving model has the right mix between arcade and simulation. You will be having fun in no time but with its high skill ceiling, you will spend hours chasing your best possible lap time.

Race against three levels of AI difficulty, challenge friends via split-screen or remote play and chase the top spot in the leaderboards in hot-lap mode were you can race against your own ghost.

Road cars, GTs, prototypes, open-wheelers and overpowered classics bring diversity and challenge to tackle more than 20 international tracks.

It runs great in the Steam Deck!

Pretend Cars Racing is a delightful racing game that pays homage to the golden era of classic top-down racing games. Developed with a clear love and understanding of the genre, this game transports players back to a time when joyous, adrenaline-fueled races were the norm. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxe-FAxVeNc From the moment you start playing Pretend Cars Racing, you can't help but be struck by a wave of nostalgia. The top-down perspective instantly evokes memories of hours spent hunched over our favorite race tracks, maneuvering tiny cars with precision and skill. The game works great on steam decks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeFCGzDNSBE It's a refreshing return to the simplicity and purity of classic racing games. The gameplay in Pretend Cars Racing is incredibly fun and addictive. The controls are intuitive, making it easy for both experienced and novice racers to jump right in. The sense of speed is thrilling, as you navigate tight corners, overtake opponents, and strategically utilize power-ups to gain an edge. Each race is a burst of excitement and anticipation, leaving you hungry for more.

Crappy and totally unrealistic physics: cars only oversteer but never understeer even the minis, bots are plain cheaters: they only defend from human player like their life depends on it running you off track all the time but they don't defend other bots at all. overall feeling is that all bots are cheating and you're somehow desperately trying to make up for that. If you want a realistic top down racing game go play Circuit Superstars instead.

Pretend Cars Racing is a great arcade racing game with micromachines vibes. Controls, physics, and enemy's AI are well done, and the game is lots of fun.

Gran juego que se nota que esta hecho con mucho amor pero por sobre todo con mucho conocimiento. Es muy entretenido pero también muy desafiante, a medida que uno va pasando carreras se va poniendo realmente muy difícil. Super recomendable!!!

The physics, car handling, steering, everything is bad. Except the detailed car sprites.
