Daily Apex

Daily Apex strips racing down to a single input. A small arrow-shaped car runs a neon track seen from above, and you only steer left and right: lean into the apex, hold the line and stay off the walls, since every wall contact and every corner taken too hard costs speed. A run lasts about twenty seconds.

The course is generated from the date in UTC, so every player gets the same track that day and a new one tomorrow. You race against 140 ghosts, and tucking into a ghost's slipstream gives a real tow if you can hold it. Three runs a day count; the best one is ranked against the field and broken down sector by sector so you can see where the time went. Practice runs are unlimited and do not use up the three.

Streaks reward coming back each day, and you can send your ghost to a friend to race. The game is free on itch.io and plays in the browser on a desktop or a phone: arrow keys or A and D on a keyboard, or hold either side of the screen. Signing in is optional and not needed to race the daily; its page notes that it was made with AI assistance for code and graphics.
