Blumgi Racers is a traversal race game where you take on different courses to use the physics of your vehicle to get the fastest time possible. In addition to driving, you use a propeller to fly through the air, and the various obstacles and hazards to alter your trajectory. It stands out for the unexpected (and often unintended) ways you exploit the stages and your movement to reach the finish in record time.

NotesAccessibility Notes

You need to hold down buttons to move and often need to press multiple buttons simultaneously. On touchscreen devices, all the inputs are displayed as on-screen buttons. Quick reactions are important. As you are trying to get a good time, the game is high in pressure.

Text in menus is often low in contrast and small. The times for different medals are likewise small and low in contrast, but the current time of your attempt is high in contrast and greater than 1/20th screen height.

When the finish line is off-screen, a visual indicator shows you the direction to go in. However, navigating the courses can still be tricky.
