An introduction to playing Top-Down Racing
Choose a round of Top-Down Racing and settle into its rules. Travel five kilometres without losing all three lives. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
One top-down road challenge with traffic, collisions and a finish.
Build familiarity through play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Travel five kilometres without losing all three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of play
- Start driving.
- Steer around traffic.
- Avoid collisions.
- Reach the distance target.
Keyboard and screen controls
Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
Choose an empty lane early rather than passing through a car. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
This is arcade avoidance, not 3D vehicle simulation. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
