About Madmen Racing
Madmen Racing is a 2D racer that has been rebuilt from the ground up in HTML5. Each event pits you against a pack of reckless opponents, and the goal is simple: finish ahead of them.
The garage is where the long-term fun is. There is a big roster of two-wheelers and four-wheelers to pick between, and every one of them can be improved, so it pays to invest in the ones you enjoy driving. Hilly tracks reward smooth throttle control over brute speed, and switching between two wheels and four keeps the races from feeling the same.
How to play Madmen Racing
- Keyboard - drive, brake and balance
- Check the in-game help for the exact keys
Playing Madmen Racing on a computer
Madmen Racing is driven entirely from the keyboard, and the exact keys for throttle, brake and balance are listed in the game's own help screen, so check it before your first event. After Play now and the PLAY button, choose a bike or car in the garage. As in most 2D racers, keeping the vehicle level over jumps matters as much as top speed.
Playing Madmen Racing on a phone or tablet
Because Madmen Racing is controlled from the keyboard and has no confirmed touch controls, it will not respond properly on a phone or tablet. Driving, braking and keeping the vehicle level all happen on keys. Load it on a computer instead; a Chromebook works fine. When you want something for your phone, filter for games labeled "Desktop and mobile".
On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Coreball and Drift Boss - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Upgrade one vehicle fully before spreading money across many.
- Ease off the throttle on steep hills to avoid flipping.
- Try both bikes and cars, since they handle differently.
