Tarnfire Circuit

Tarnfire Circuit is a top-down lap racing game with twelve hand-shaped circuits split into four cups. Every race is three laps against five computer rivals, and the grid starts with you in last place. Slide through corners to build nitro, then spend it on the straights to pass the pack.

The car handles with real momentum. Gas is automatic, so you steer, brake and boost. Brake into a bend and the rear steps out, which lets you drift. A long drift fills the nitro bar, and a full bar gives a burst of speed with a blue flame and a camera kick. Grass, sand, ash and snow beside the asphalt slow you down and cut your grip, while tyre walls keep everyone on the circuit. You must pass every checkpoint gate each lap, so shortcuts across the infield never count. If you spin out or point the wrong way, your car is set back on the track automatically.

Finish on the podium to earn stars: third place gives one star, second two, and a win gives three. Coins from every race buy upgrades for engine, grip and nitro, and you can watch an optional video to double your prize. Finish a whole cup to unlock a new car colour scheme, and collect thirty stars for the gilded car. If a race goes badly, you can restart once with a full nitro bar.

The rivals follow a racing line, plan their braking, nudge each other and bump into you, and they get quicker with every cup. A light rubber band keeps the pack close without cheating. Play with touch pads, arrow keys or WASD with Shift for nitro, on phones, tablets and desktop.
