Tiny Tracks. Fast Laps
Driftmania is an arcade time trial racing game. Your goal is to get the fastest possible time
on each of the 15 challenging tracks
Controls
Up Arrow or Z: Accelerate
Down Arrow: Brake + Reverse
Left Arrow: Turn left
Right Arrow: Turn right
X: D-Brake
R: Restart level
P: Pause game + Options menu
Tips
You turn faster when holding the D-Brake
Take a good look at the minimap before starting a track. You need to anticipate the turns to
get the best times
Grass does not slow you down. It reduces traction, which you can use to your advantage for
drifting!
Driving over yellow tiles will activate boost. Boost works with whatever direction you're
facing - it doesn't matter where the arrow on the ground is pointing
Garage customizations do not change car handling. Make your car look however you want it to!
An optional ghost can be enabled in the pause menu. Replays are lost when exiting a track

Special Thanks to Community Members
@thisismypassword for shrinko8. This game would not have been possible without it!
@TheRoboZ for pd_rotate(). Very useful to get rotations in so few tokens!
@johanp for VFX inspiration. The sprite stacking used here started by modifying your demo cart
on the subject!
