Our take on Extreme Race
The no-brakes setup makes steering the central control choice, but gives up the ability to manage speed through braking. That constraint puts the emphasis on reacting to hazards and keeping the car moving rather than choosing when to slow down.
What is Extreme Race?
Drive at high speed through stylized landscapes while avoiding traffic, police, potholes, rocks, ramps, and other changing obstacles.
Races shift between day and night, and some sections include air stunts. Collect coins to purchase cars, each with different performance traits such as speed, grip, weight, and stability. Brakes are unavailable, so driving relies on steering to keep the car under control and avoid hazards without slowing down.
How Extreme Race plays
