Rallytron

I really enjoyed driving in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and wanted to get as close to that feeling as possible within Picotron. This is a soft first release to catch any bugs prior to a release on itch.

Learning the game

All the courses are unlocked from the get-go, but you have to finish them with the Pinter to unlock the other cars. The on screen instructions can be toggled in the pause menu.

Controls:

THIS CAN NOT/HARDLY BE PLAYED ON MOBILE!

WASD to move your car/choose a car and race
SPACEBAR to use handbrake/confirm
CTRL to restart the game

About the game

Tinkering with sprite stacking is really rewarding, and I enjoyed it a lot. Have fun chasing the best times and your ghosts, do let me know what kind of cars and tracks you'd like to see in potential future versions!

Credits

The game wouldn't have been possible without freds72 efficient sprite rotation function. I also used xietanu's userdata based particle engine for the skid marks and a few of abledbodies SFX for the music.

Feedback

These are some of the questions I have:

  • Do the cars feel distinct enough?
  • How long did it take you to feel "comfortable" with the controls?
  • What tracks did you enjoy/what would you like to see added?

Update 21.8.25

  • changed menu theme
  • made medal reveals respect your time
  • convinced the ghost car to come in on time
  • reduced camera jitter
  • revised the save system(sorry for your saves <3)
  • changed label

Update 25.8.25

  • added controller support
  • added Dusk map with two new tracks
  • added car lights
  • gave "Addo" a bit more "oomph"

Really excellent, gorgeous cars (stacked sprites?)

Not like it took me very long to find out, but with the controls as shown I wondered for a moment how to accelerate

Thanks for the fun!

Thank you so much! Yes, those are stacked sprites, here is a little .gif showing some "behind the scenes".
