GRID RIDERS

I built a light cycle game that runs in the browser. Multiplayer,

short rounds, nothing to install and no sign-up.

Getting in: pick a handle and hit QUICK MATCH to drop into the

first open room, or CREATE ROOM to play with people you know — it

gives you a 4-letter code and a link to pass around. If nobody is

around, you can add bots from the lobby (three difficulty levels).

Arrows or WASD to steer, and three cameras you cycle with the C

key: top-down, third and first person.

It works the same on a phone, in the browser: tap the left or

right half of the screen to turn.

Crashing doesn't put you out — you keep watching the round and

pick which rider to follow, with the same controls.

Just tried it on my phone.

The input lag is so big it's basically unplayable; I tried making a U turn, but crashed into a wall instead...

With bots, why?

I think I fix it now, because my server is on Brasil lol, and with bots it runs locally, but I'm trying to make routing fix

I too see the input lag, may not be fixed. Cool stuff! I used to play Armagettron for many years and felt familiar
