Play Overview
Little Racer (2019) is a simple racing game that reimagines slot-car racing as a colourful, family-friendly challenge. Play involves controlling the speed and lane of your car to get ahead without flying off the corners or hitting hazards. It stands out for its approachable two-button controls, track editor and four-player couch competition.
Little Racer is a slot-car challenge where the skill is about judging speed and lane choice rather than dealing with steering and boosts. You race through themed worlds filled with ramps, jumps, and obstacles, aiming to time lane changes precisely to avoid flying off the track. The intuitive one-button acceleration makes it easy for anyone to pick up, while the tracks’ layouts and physics reward precision and timing.
As you progress, new tracks, cars and customisation options are unlocked - expanding both difficulty and variety. Each world introduces fresh hazards and visual themes, while completing events unlocks new items for use in the built-in level editor. Using the editor enables you to design, decorate, and share original courses.
The result is a game that distils the simple fun of slot-racing into digital form. It blends nostalgia with surprisingly competitive races. Best of all, you don't have to get up and put the cars back in their slots when you overcook a corner.
