Games Like Low Space Race

The whole game fits on a 3.5" floppy disk

Low Space Race is a single self-contained executable. Every track, machine, shader, font, sound effect and music track is embedded inside one file. No installer, no launcher, no downloading a second copy of the game before you can play it. Double-click and you are on the grid.

Anti-gravity racing at it's core

You pilot a hovering machine through 11 circuits suspended above procedural cities. Loops, corkscrews, vertical climbs and inverted sections are all part of the ordinary racing line.

There are no weapons and no item boxes. Every second you gain is a second you drove for.

Couch multiplayer

Two, three or four players on one screen, in horizontal or vertical split layouts, against a full AI field. Keyboard and gamepad both fully supported.

Game modes

Eleven tracks

ZENITH, HAIRPIN, THE LOOP, COLOSSEUM, TARTARUS, SPIRAL, HYDRA, GYRE, COIL, ECHO and MARATHON — each with its own city skyline, palette, obstacle layout and character, from Colosseum's wide arena sweeps to Coil's relentless helix climb to Marathon's endurance run. Several circuits, including Hydra, Colosseum, Hairpin and Echo, split into [b]alternate branching routes[/b], so learning a track means learning which fork is faster for your machine.

Sixteen machines, five handling personalities

AURA, INFERNO, HYPERSTELLAR, NEBULA, EMERALD, WINTER, ROSE, CARGO, VOLT, TITAN, PHANTOM, COMET, BLADE, FORGE, SPECTRE and NOVA. Each is rated on Thrust, Top Speed, Mass and Energy, picking a machine is a real tactical decision on a track full of walls.

The skill stack

Depth here comes from stacking techniques, not collecting power-ups:
