Drag Race

You control a single car from a top-down view. The moment the light turns green, you tap the spacebar to accelerate and then watch a shifting meter. Your main goal is to outpace the opponent car next to you in a short, straight sprint. The core mechanic is timing your gear shifts perfectly using the arrow keys; shifting too early or too late kills your momentum. If you push the engine too hard, it can blow, ending your race instantly. The races are over in seconds, demanding sharp reflexes more than long-term strategy. It feels like a tense, repetitive test of your own timing and patience.
