About Battle Racing Stars
Battle Racing Stars gathers characters from several Halfbrick hits into one race. Barry of Jetpack Joyride, Dan the Man's Ginger Ninja, and the Fruit Ninja crew all line up on obstacle-filled tracks.
The racing plays more like a platformer than a driving game. You jump over hazards, use special skills and trigger power-ups to get ahead of the other racers, and timing those moments well is what wins close finishes. Along the way you can unlock more characters and upgrade them, so building up a favorite becomes a goal of its own. Fans of those mobile games will recognize the cast right away.
How to play Battle Racing Stars
- Arrow key - jump
- Space and F - activate power-ups
Playing Battle Racing Stars on a computer
Start with Play now; the distributor's own PLAY screen follows, and a quick ad may run before the race. Jumping is mapped to the arrow key, so use it to clear hazards on the track. Space and F trigger power-ups, and special skills help you get ahead. Hold a power-up until a rival is just in front of you or a rough stretch is coming instead of firing it instantly.
Playing Battle Racing Stars on a phone or tablet
This build is listed as not mobile-ready. Battle Racing Stars puts jumps on an arrow key and power-ups on two more keys, and pressing them at the right moments during a race is what wins it. Race with a keyboard on a computer or Chromebook. Racers stuck with a phone can follow the "Desktop and mobile" tag to games that accept touch.
On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Coreball and Drift Boss - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Look at the track ahead and jump a moment early to clear hazards.
- Save power-ups for tight moments instead of firing them right away.
- Focus upgrades on one character at first so it becomes competitive sooner.
