Dead Circuit

**Dead Circuit** is a top-down combat racer in the spirit of the 1996 classics: short, sharp races where the machine gun matters as much as the racing line.

Race for cash and points, buy parts and better cars, keep the repair bills down, and climb a twenty-one driver ladder toward one final race in the Arena.

- 19 tracks across nine settings, Four race tiers, Three career settings.

- Reach first place on the ladder to unlock the Arena

Phone-friendly touch controls: hold the left or right half to steer, an auto-aiming gun, and brake, turbo and mines under both thumbs.

**Controls (keyboard)**

- ↑ / W accelerate · ↓ / S brake and reverse · ← → / A D steer · Shift handbrake

- Space machine gun · X mine · C turbo / rocket · P or Esc pause

**Beta notes**

This is a first public beta. Balance is still being tuned from real races, so feedback on difficulty, the touch controls and anything that feels unfair is very welcome in the comments.

Dead Circuit is an original game with original art, music and code, made as a tribute to the top-down combat racers of the nineties. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of any of them.
