  • 🛞 Tire & fuel strategy — manage wear, temperature, and pit stops
  • 👥 Party multiplayer — race friends with a shareable code
  • 🎨 Customise your car — colors, liveries, numbers, and decals

Keyboard required (WASD / arrows). Built with WebGL — works on any modern desktop browser.

Notes / caveats

  • Single-player (time attack, all tracks, customisation) works fully inside itch's iframe.
  • Multiplayer & cloud save rely on external services (PartyKit + Firebase). In itch's sandboxed

iframe these may be limited by third-party-cookie/cross-origin rules. Your full version stays live at

https://apex-gp-3d.vercel.app — consider linking it on the page as "Play multiplayer here".

  • Size: the zip is ~74MB, almost all from 10 music tracks. Optional: re-encode music to ~96kbps

(or ship 3–4 tracks) to cut first-load to well under 20MB.
