A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Mini Track is a puzzle game about designing racing tracks.

Objetive

Your score is composed by two components multiplied: top speed & overtaking spots.

  • 🟡 Top speed: straights and soft turns allow for speed buildup. The yellow pin will mark where in the track top speed is being reached.
  • 🔴 Overtaking spots: the combination of a high-speed section with a sharp turn creates a good overtaking opportunity. The high-speed section needs to be long enough for cars to close the distance between each other. The red pins will mark the overtaking spots.

Controls: Mouse 🖱️

  • Use your mouse to drag the square knots that shape the track.

Known bugs/quirks 🐞

  • [FIXED in Version 1.1] There is a scaling bug in the build, so the game will only render properly at a 1920x1080 resolution. I use a 4k monitor 3840x2160, but with 200% screen scaling, resulting in virtually 1920x1080. So the game currently only works on 4k resolution with 200% scaling or FullHD with 100% scaling.
  • Speed is reset at the track finish line. If you don't make a hard turn using the starting node, you won't experience the bug. If you will, you can use this as an easter egg bonus :)
  • Due to a memory leak bug, the game consumes 500 MB of RAM every 30 minutes (it starts with 150 MB). You can close and reopen the game if this becomes an issue, since there is no progression to be lost.

Final notes 👋

The game is very short. I wish I could've dedicated more time to it. Nonetheless, I'm really happy with the concept so far. Hope you enjoy it!

This game is completely opensource, I made it using a custom engine I'm building on top of MonoGame. You can access the code here: https://github.com/roo-oliv/monodreams/tree/gmtk2025gj. Also, despite being in very early stages, you can check out the engine itself, it's called MonoDreams: https://github.com/roo-oliv/monodreams
