What is Tiny Turbo Cars

Tiny Turbo Cars is a frantic race game for 2 to 4 players in which you program the movements of your tiny toy car in advance, with a sliding puzzle acting as your remote controller.

Choose your car, grab your remote controller, create the track, and get ready to race! At the beginning of each round, players have to work their way through their sliding puzzle controllers simultaneously, trying to create the sequence of actions they want their car to perform during the round.

Each symbol on the puzzle corresponds to one of the possible actions — but only the two middle rows of commands on your controllers will be applied, so there's room for maneuvers, but be quick! The first player to put down their controller will be the first to move their car during the round. Each player then executes the program they created, and the sooner you play during a round, the safer you are that your actions will actually play out as planned rather than crashing into unexpected obstacles...or other cars!

But trying to be quick might also increase your chances of making mistakes, and every time you take damage, you lose battery power, which will slow you down. But hey, mistakes happen, right? You can always recharge and be back in the race.

This is a fun and underrated game. I always see complaints about the game being too chaotic, random and swingy, a game where you cannot pull perfect programming turns. Well, that's why it's fun, if you were able to program perfect turns all the time the game would be extremely boring. The best part of the game is all those crazy turns where someone keeps crashing onto a wall. It's a game about trying to do good enough in a little time and then laugh at the results, not about strategizing and planning your actions thoroughly as if it were an efficiency puzzle. That being said, my biggest com
