Brutal Pico Race

Overview

Brutal Pico Race is a fast and raw futurist racing retro Pico-8 game where you’ll pick one of the three ship classes, choose a track and try to finish first! You can play it alone, against three AI levels or challenge a friend in the split-screen mode!

This game also features some nice controls and a setting that reminded me the F-Zero classic.

Tricks and tips

• Be careful while using nitro (boost) before entering a turn. It is not always a good idea.
• Health affect how often boost can be activated.
• You can gain some speed by riding on the half pipe in the turns.
• Collision affect health and speed, and you can’t repair your ship in race, so be careful.
• Try not to touch other ship to maximize your speed.
