Racer got a big update over weekend. Two new game modes and unlockable cars.

To be fair, mind, the two new game modes are pretty much the same. Career mode has you collecting stars while avoiding traffic. Get enough stars and you move on to the next level, sometimes unlocking a new car. Slalom mode has you collecting stars, but isn’t split into levels. Like the existing modes, it simply gradually gets harder the longer you play.


There are some complaints from people about the starting car being made less responsive to make the unlockable cars more appealing, but I can’t say I noticed any difference. (It’s been quite a while since I last played the game.)

It’s still sweet little gaming treat – it sits happily in a coveted position on my first page of games – and I like the extra modes.


(Especially as the scoreboards got reset when the game got updated, so I managed a fairly respectable position on one of them.)
