Built from
tins and
bottle caps

Every car is scratched printed tin, bent panels and bottle-cap wheels, built the way children in Ghana have built konko cars for generations. Races are short and rowdy: six cars, items flying, panels tearing away as cars take damage.

The circuits

One road runs full size along the Accra coast. The other runs through a family compound, seen from the height of a toy.

The Compound Circuit

Packed red earth at toy height. Stools become archways, washing hangs over the start, and the road runs between walls of stacked bottle caps.

Pick your race

Four ways
to win

Quick Race

First past the line. Pick a circuit, a car and a difficulty, and go.

Accra Cup

A four-round championship across both circuits, with points for every place.

Knockout

Last place is out. Keep going until one car is left rolling.

Time Trial

Just you and the clock. No rivals, no items: learn the line and set a record.

Fight for the line

Six items

Grab them from the pickup rows and use them well. Each one can turn a race, and every one can be turned back on you.

Cap Blast

A tin-can rocket with a bottle-cap nose. Lock on to the car ahead and it chases them down.

Shield

A scrap-metal guard that takes one hit for you, rockets included.

Turbo

A full tank of nitro, fired on the spot. For the straight, or for getting out of trouble.

Repair

Hammers the dents out and bolts the panels back on, mid-race.

Shockwave

A blast ring that knocks back every rival close enough to feel it.

Deflector

Shoots incoming rockets out of the air before they reach you.

Play your way

Any hands,
any screen

Touch

Tilt to steer, tap the sides, or let TouchDrive keep the car on the road while you pick the line, drift and fire.

Controller

Full controller support, with every button remappable in Settings.
