The low-poly racing game, developed by Polish indie developer Pixel Perfect Dude , feels like a love letter to the PlayStation 1 era of rally games, where you could actually name the top drivers and the cars they drove. “Ah Racing portfolio Studio Perfect Pixel Dude, based in the city of Kalisz, Poland, was founded in 2013.

This function tries to move the character using that velocity and every time a collision is found, it will slide against it (and adjust the velocity accordingly). snap 32 pixels down velocity = move_and_slide_with_snap(velocity, Vector2(0, -1), Vector2(0, 32)). velocity = move_and_slide(velocity). > 0: jumping = false.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. BUILDING TO HTML5 / WEB: These days, this is HaxeFlixel's default build platform and it just works right out of the box. (Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.)
