The game
RectRacer is a casual platform racing game. The game is based on rectangle shaped platforms and features an editor in which you can design your own levels. There is a Top 10 score page for each level to add competition. And of course, there is a Party hot seat mode that allows you to compete against your friends.

Versus mode is a quick race in a single level and Marathon mode is designed to compete in three randomly selected levels that will automatically play one after the other.

Enjoy the race 🙂
