We have added improvements and fixed some bugs for smoother gameplay.
Top Race is a high-energy, hyper-casual racer that emphasizes physics and chaos over simulation. It reminds me of a modernized 'Micro Machines' with its top-down perspective and tight, slippery controls. The 'battle' aspect isn't just about speed; it's about using the environment and your car's weight to shove opponents off the track.
The progression system is simple but effective, rewarding you with new vehicles and upgrades as you dominate the circuits. While the AI can be a bit aggressive, it makes the victories feel earned. It’s a great 'coffee break' game—rounds are short, the colors are bright, and the sensation of drifting around a tight corner to knock a rival into a barrier is consistently satisfying.
Fast-paced top-down arcade racing
Multiple upgradeable cars
Intense car-to-car combat physics
Dynamic tracks with shortcuts
Stay directly behind an opponent on long straightaways to enter their slipstream. You'll gain a speed boost that allows you to slingshot past them or shove them into the upcoming turn.
Save your Nitro for the exits of slow corners. Using it mid-turn will often cause you to spin out, but using it as you straighten out will give you a massive advantage over the AI.
While there aren't projectiles, the 'battle' comes from ramming and utilizing car-specific weight and speed stats to disable rivals.
Reminds me of playing w/remote control cars as a kid. Super fun, keeps u occupied, worth downloading, earn in game rewards, & let your kids play as well. I’d say ages 3 & up would be okay 2 play it b/c my daughter is 3 & son just turned 5 & they both play it & love it.
Way, WAY too many adds. Game looked like it’d be a good one, but there’s just far to many ads, and additional game play interruptions. Every time you open the game your hit with 1-3 “buy this” windows. After every race, ads. Collect any decent prizes, ads. Want to progress in the game at reasonable rate, ads. And the off road races are terrible. You don’t steer your vehicle in this game, you just choose what power ups to use and when. Being that there’s jumps in the off road races, your truck is just all over the track, with no real way to even make up the ground lost. Remove some of the ad content, and game play interruptions; and either allow the user to steer the vehicle, or improve the racing a.i.
While I normally never write bad reviews I feel I have to write this one to maybe have the content creators rethink it. When I first downloaded this game about 2 months ago it was a lot of fun and I found myself playing it all the time basically because of how fast I can get all 3 races in. But over the last week, an update seems to have inserted an advertisement in between every race. So each set of races used to take about 3 mins now takes double that because of the ads that you can’t skip. This is a severe downgrade. As to why they did this? Idk but it’s absolutely miserable to have to sit through 2 minutes of ads to finish a set of races.
Its a fun game at first. Then of course it starts taking forever to collect cards to upgrade. The ads are optional which is good. At the beginning it seemed I always got to start near the front every race. Now I start 4-6 every single time. Unless I watch an ad of course. If you start from the back in the upper levels you will not stand a chance. Then if you do pass some cars they will all just hit you and pass you back as they always seem to have a boost ready to attack only you at any given time. Basically it becomes a pay or watch lots of ads to win game.
I like the game but it’s in desperate need of an update to solve the almost guaranteed crash every time you race the London track. Crashes in the same place every time when you go under the bridge and the race view drops down in front of you. Lost a lot of coins there. Anytime I see London as a race on high levels I just restart the game hoping for a track refresh Update: Developer responded quickly and acknowledged that they will look into this issue and hope to solve it as soon as possible.
Fun game but you have to watch 5 or 6 ads in between 90 second races. I would rather buy the game for $10 than suffer through all the senseless ads. “Free” games have ruined the mobile gaming industry unless you’re a whale. Let me buy the game outright and/or do a $2/mo subscription with no additional in game purchases. When games become more about making money rather than playing the game you’ve gone too far.
If you hate RNG games that screw you over look no further. Game consists of horrendous paywallas and Ads EVERYWHERE. You watch more Ads than you spend time playing. You struggle to build up your cars early and can barely earn enough coins unless you want to keep watching videos. You will have the highest Top Speed and acceleration of any car in your race and they will still pass you. Game has potential but right now not worth any sort of long term commitment unless you spend money
One of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played. I paid a lot of money and still cannot win. The 3rd boss Jeremy us unbeatable because your truck goes off the track constantly. Plus to race if costs gems. Don’t waste your time.
Download Top Race now and experience the unique pleasure of the race, the fun, the competitive feeling and the happiness of winning at the top.
