Choose your car and battle through challenging tracks filled with power-ups, cones, and rival racers. The game features silky smooth 60FPS action, a unique two-player split-screen mode, and a variety of cars to unlock and master. Whether you're playing solo or against a friend, Retro Racing delivers a pure, skill-based racing experience that is easy to learn but hard to master.

Our Expert Score
Retro Racing is a high-speed blast from the past that feels like a love letter to the top-down racers of the Amiga era. Developed by the mind behind classics like 'Nitro' and 'ATR', it captures that perfect arcade 'slide' that makes racing so satisfying. You aren't just driving; you're drifting around corners, collecting power-ups, and fighting for every inch of the track against aggressive AI or a friend in split-screen mode.
The game runs at a buttery smooth 60FPS, which is essential for a racer this fast. The controls are simple and tight, allowing you to focus on finding the perfect racing line. It’s also surprisingly deep; mastering the different cars and learning how to effectively use turbos and tires is the key to 3-starring every level. It’s a pure, unadulterated racing experience that avoids the bloat of modern racers, delivering quick, adrenaline-pumping fun that looks great on any screen.

Tips & Walkthrough
In Retro Racing, speed is about the 'line.' Hug the inside of corners and start your turn early to initiate a drift. Use your turbos on long straights rather than corners, and always prioritize 'tires' power-ups to improve your handling for the tighter, more complex tracks.
Gameplays
The game features a rare local split-screen mode, allowing two players to race head-to-head on a single iPad or iPhone. This mode captures the classic 'couch co-op' feel of retro racing games.

Ratings & Reviews
Such a great homage to top down racers smooth as silk.
Wed Sep 11 2019 [Hamlet]This game is so smooth, very well made. Tons of replay ability. I’ve been at it for years and still working to 3 star everything. Each race the power ups and other cars are slightly random so no 2 races are the same. You might get beaten badly, or you may score a key power up out of the gate. You can still beat the levels without power ups and often driving skill taking right corners trumps power ups. It has a great balance. I really love this game.
Old school greatness
Sat Jan 04 2025 ThorsasoriousThis game is pretty much exactly like the old sprint game that I used to play in the arcades love this game. I started playing Retro Racing 2 first, and I like the landscape format went through all the levels and then downloaded retro racing and it has the portrait set up, which was kinda strange but still good. I bought it all.
Truly Amazing!
Thu Apr 13 2017 Mohican ManI'm an old school gamer. A kid from the 90s so I feel right at home with Retro Racing which is one of the very few games I kept on my phone. If you like retro and racing you will get hooked! This game lasted me years and it will require practice to win the races. I highly recommend it!
I loved this game
Sat Dec 02 2023 FusionartsI was scrolling through my download history when I found this gem from my childhood. I would spend hours just racing over and over! It’s the best thing I had as a kid and man it was great!
Just doesn’t get old. Hands down best overhead racer.
Sat Dec 19 2020 Dr Will MaggsToo much fun. Really short races, great track design, perfect level of challenge. Can’t wait for the next one to come out.....
Cars go fast
Tue Sep 17 2024 😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😂This game is addictive It is so much fun to master the perfect race line and troubleshoot with shortcuts, even just replaying the early races to get the best time you can is so much fun
Decent
Sun Sep 15 2024 Azavier24Overall a decent game. My only complaint is there is no Solo Time Trial mode. I personally don’t like having to compete for spots on a leaderboard that is completely dependent on RNG.
Need Landscape Mode
Sun Nov 24 2024 xsw1tchbackI want to give this 5 stars so bad. But my hands hurt so much playing in Portrait Mode that I can't reach the fifth star :-(((
