Retro Racing: Double Dash
Retro Racing: Double Dash is a speed trip that takes you back to the 90s – an era when racing games were arcadey, pixelated, and didn’t need hyper-realistic graphics to keep players engrossed for hours. The game is an interesting blend of Formula 1-style driving and classic low-poly visuals, which makes it shine in the modern racing game jungle.
Three “Brain-Torturing” Race Modes
Time Trial
- Practice driving, get used to each corner, find shortcuts, and improve your skills without being pressured by opponents.
- Suitable for “warm-up” before entering more competitive modes.
AI Race
- Challenge the intelligent AI system, which knows how to analyze your racing style to come up with counter-attack strategies.
- Dynamic difficulty – if you consistently come in first, the machine will speed up, race harder, and even "trick" you at the last corner!
Online Multiplayer (Racing with Real People)
- Here's the real challenge! Compete with racers around the world in dramatic tailgating and overtaking.
- A combination of driving skills, tactics, and a little "trick" – whoever is better at drifting, wins!
Every Track Is An Adventure
A highlight that cannot be missed in Retro Racing: Double Dash is the system of 5 diverse racing tracks, each with a unique atmosphere and different challenges. From peaceful countryside to cold mountain tops, each race is an emotional speed adventure:
- Green Meadow – Perfect for novices but still has enough twists to challenge basic ability, a green field stretches out with wide open pathways.
- Sunflower Field – A great road among a sea of sunflowers dancing in the breeze, where you must keep a steady hand on the steering wheel across narrow and rocky ground.
- Fine Forest – A dense forest with light shining through the foliage, hidden bends, and unexpected turns that will keep you alert.
- Snowy Mountains – For experienced drivers, snow-capped mountain tops, slick roads, and continuous abrupt turns provide genuine difficulties.
- Paradise Island – A lovely island with a meandering racecourse around the shore, suspension bridges, and hidden shortcuts, adding an exciting adventure.

Simple Controls, But Strategy Is Not Easy!
The game uses a classic control system:
- WASD or arrow keys: Move, accelerate, brake.
- Spacebar (optional): Activate nitro if available.
Although simple, to become the "speed king", you need to:
- Watch the drift time to avoid slipping off the track.
- Brake wisely on sharp turns, as over-braking will cause you to lose momentum.
- Apply tactics when racing online – sometimes, it’s wise to run behind your opponent to enjoy the slipstream and then overtake at the last minute!
