56 of 56 · most liked firstRace.a.bit is a very simple indie racing game that is fun at moments, but isn't so good overall. If this review is too long for you, I suggest you to only read the first paragraph about the game's content and the final verdict at the end. What is happening in the game: You are in control of a racing car and you have to complete the available tracks as fast as possible. There are boosts, there are jumps, there are teleporters, and that's just about it. Pros: Music | The soundtrack is not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The roar of the engine, the smell of petrol in your nostrils, the blinding sun penetrating the windshield. You sit behind the wheel of your five hundred thousand dollar race car, a pair of worn black sunglasses (The Rowdy ones) rest half-♥♥♥♥♥♥ off your nose. You rev the engine, hearing it purr like a kitten, the heat raises inside the beast.. You feel trickles of sweat running down your face... No time to relax, it's only time to win, everyone knows "if you ain't first, you're last" (Ricky…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Firstly, ignore the trailer. The game isn't a homage to retro games of old. HOWEVER, that's not to say you shouldn't buy this (after all, it comes with a level designer, go make your own). It's a great top down racer, almost like a 2D Trackmania. The gameplay is solid and the controls responsive. You'll find yourself resetting the track to improve your time and ranking. The name is accurate, you'll race a bit, 5 minutes here and there, but I've found myself coming back to it again and again…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very bad racing game. That's all you need to know.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Race.a.bit is compareable to visiting McDonalds. While your meal doesn't even come close to what it looked like in the advertisements and you can't tell if the burger was involved in a terrible accident or left the kitchen in this state purposely, it is still VERY enjoyable and you will come back for more... ...even if it gives you explosive diarrhea the next morning. *Disclaimer: Race.a.bit won't actually give you explosive diarrhea.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Retro Styled 2D Racer https://youtu.be/_VLVNytHOzI + Fantastic chiptune soundtrack + Map Editor + Tons of user-generated tracks / plenty of content + Fun short and sweet gameplay + Simple controls + Leaderboards (this game is great for people who love competiting for times) - Trailer is VERY MISLEADING, as I could not find the levels shown in the game :( ~ I feel like a game like this could really use some multiplayer, would be great to play with a friend instead of a ghost
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I normally don't play racing type of games or anything related to cars because its boring and cars cause pollutions. But this one is great car game because its 90s style and retro style theme. You can create your own track and publish it to the community. Also its mysterious game. When you 100% this game you cannot run this game anymore. Very mysterious ;) S0YxSauCe's overall score : 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great small game, i remember playing race games like this a very long time ago, I like that u can create maps and race on maps from others, I've beaten a few high scores to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6XRnr-Go3U
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The trailer is literally nothing like the game, its a terrible game, things like this shouldn't be allowed on steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only can Race.a.bit until getting all of the achievements and then the game doesn't open anymore. This would have been a positive review if that didn't happen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the cash. Barely more than a Addictinggames flash game. Musics pretty good, though. Pros ---- - Cute game play - Some pretty good music - High score list seems pretty legit Cons ----- - Extremely repetitive - Terrible menu layouts - Very cheap; barely more than a FTP phone game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just found this collecting dust in my library. Got mislead hard by the trailer. Boo!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RAGE ALERT!!! Some of the courses will have to be played over and over to get gold and are annoying. Is ok, control is not the most responsive, cars are a bit slidey, completed the main tracks in about an hour. Recommended on deep discount or in a bundle only unless you think you'll want to make tracks - more value there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been a while since i had fun with a game who do aim "retrogamers". As usually they are all the same... But right now i finally found one that can handle most of my needs. Pro: It will remind you Slick'n'Slide but in a good way Music quality In-game racetrack editor encourages pixel arts which help to give a unique atmosphere to each of our creations. Control intuitiveness Compatible with a gamepad Subtleties of power-ups, obstacles, traps, etc. make this game having a very long longevity…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maaan! I really wanted to drive my car into those friggin Space Invaders then Tokyo drift across Pinky and Blinky stupid faces. As I watched the car exit the mario pipe and wreck I knew it was too good to be true. I longed to die in that odd car crash. You may say I am a dreamer but I'm not the only one. Imagine: Driving up the Donkey Kong stage or racing the evil cars causing the amphibious holocaust in Frogger It is not going to happen here but you can recreate the scenes and interact…

Are you ready to show your driving expertise and rise to the top of the world RACE.A.BIT leader board? Well, what are you waiting for? Jump in your car and go for the gold and the number “ONE” spot! RACE.A.BIT is a fabulous retro racing game with an excellent and easy level editor. RACE.A.BIT has 20 official tracks to race and the aim is to race around the track (usually 3 laps) as fast as you can to score the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNING: As of April 2025 the online component of this game is dead, which means you can no longer access any of the community tracks or leaderboards. It is still possible to play in offline mode, but the only thing you can do offline is play the 20 official tracks which can be completed in about an hour. After that, there is nothing left to do. It also means that most of the achievements are broken. This game looked like it could be fun but it is impossible to recommend in its current state…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't be fooled by the trailer, it's a normal racing game. I played in offline mode as I get a "no profile name" error upon registering so I couldn't play online no matter what I wrote in any of the 4 fields
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am already addicted.... played the whole night :-)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raced.a.bit. Liking.a.bit. You should give a chance for this game. (don't.like.the."farming".levels so I made an actual one) I just don't want to spam by uploading fake levels to get the other vehicles and achievements, so... GG.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hell no! Horrible graphics, even for a 8 bit game, thats no excuse for it to look like bland boring garbage. Terrible boring gameplay. Just no. Waste of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Race.a.bit is a top down 2D retro pixel racing game with a few online modes and custom maps. This game has a long list of problems. The graphics are terrible retro 2D pixel, because the developers couldn't afford an artist. The audiotrack is brain damagingly bad repetitive chiptunes of the lowest possible quality. Controls are janky, gameplay isn't fun and even if it was the graphics and audio, being so bad, are just too discouraging. Not worth buying at any price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First half-hour impressions: From the moment I started up the game, I was unimpressed. I was met with a login screen that expected me to make an account or "play offline". Of course, I'm playtesting this game, so I pick "offline". I am met with a very limited singleplayer experience and UI design that looks like it belongs in one of those horrid dime-a-dozen ad-plastered android apps. The races themselves feel sort of nice, but at the same time, a little too easy. The default controls (arrow…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing retro here. Just a boring top down racer with the only goal being to beat someone on the scoreboard. Happy Wheels wannabe with its user levels approach. Also, if you stretch your ugly 8x8 texture it doesn't automatically turn it into 8 bit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you think this is another indie pixel race? You are wrong! In this game you can make levels with of their old console games! You imagine? First I has come and played a little bit. The game, like many other games of the same style. Then I began to read reviews, discussion of the game and looked a trailer. I have not yet created a map, but I think it will not be so difficult as to enter into turn 90. Fans of racing from the 90s will rejoice, then you can do anything!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome good old retro 16 Bit Racer. Best part is to create your own tracks and play other player created tracks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is decent game for it's era, if you played a top down racer from the 80's or 90's, you might like this one. The official levels can be from very easy to confusive at times but all of them were easy enough for me to get a Gold Medal on (even if you can't, the ghosts might help you improve your time, except for Bronze which is honestly dumb but no offense), the car unlocking system is based on how many achievements you have in progress, the car's performance doesn't change since it's base…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loads of fun trying to beat other people's times and making new tracks, will be playing this for a while!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raced a bit. Uninstalled a bit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's cute and the multiplayer aspect is fun, but it's not my thing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This WAS kind of a fun little retro racing game that took me back to my childhood for a few minutes, but it is not really doing anything special as far as racing games go. The most fun part (and why I got the game) was that you could build your own tracks, share them with friends, and race against their times. Most of my time spent in the game was building tracks. I'm a little sad that I didn't play it more before the online servers shut down a few years ago. Without the online components of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little retro racer game, just the right amount of challenge! Plus, you get to make your own tracks. I enjoyed it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just got this on sale. It is a fun little racing game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall: 0/10 Random game key: 42/152 This might unironically be the worst game I've ever played. Even calling it a game feels like giving it too much credit. Nothing in this game is even mediocre, it's kind of impressive how they made all aspects downright terrible. Here's a list of the things that I thought were terrible, but by no means is it limited to this: - Graphics look like someone ♥♥♥♥ out their recently ingested spicy food out on the screen - Music is the worst thing they could find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A basic "old school" racer with nothing great to really speak of. The levels have very poor visual consistency due to the mix of so many different colored tiles going on at once. The fastest ghost racers on official tracks all have huge mistakes that make them almost too easy to beat. Also I had to mute the sound after a single race because the droning car sound was so obnoxious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun litlle racing game with time attack and multiplayer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very simple top down racing game. You just run around a track trying to beat the timer. Someone mentioned the tracks feel too small for the cars and I kind of agree. Controls are slightly clunky, soundtrack seems alright. I dont want to sound mean, but the visual presentation feels more crude than retro. Unless you have some weird nostalgia for 80s pixel racing games, I seriously doubt this will be worth either the time or money. 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay: Simple to use, But Hard to master precision steer tapping (if you know how to steer tapping). It's you vs the clock or a faster PB or ever others' PB. Graphics: It's self-explanatory. mix it up some 8-bit and 16-bit looks. ever see a top down car zooming around in a Mario Bros. Level? Controls: Simple pick-up-and-pay. But hard to master the "Tap Steer" move. Soundtrack: Alright. Nothing to listen outside the game. it's good neither or less.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HAhahahahahhahahah wow. I bought this game way back when i was a dumb kid like 4 years ago, and wow do NOT buy this crap. I actually don't blame younger me for wanting it, the trailer makes it look so cool but its the BIGGEST LIE I'VE EVER SEEN. All you do is drive around the simplest tracks with an arial view, the graphics are trash and its boring af. I still remember the dissapointment i felt when i actually got playing it. Hats off to the maker of the trailer, THAT game looks fun, exept from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where this game really shines is the level creator, create levels challenge other people to your levels and play theirs. It has a bunch of fun mechanics to make your levels unique: personally I love the drifting especially on ice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't recommend at this price, unless you are a die hard retro top down race fan. The game itself is kind of fun. I played through all the included tracks and enjoyed it for the most part. The retro graphics are an eye sore for many and the AI is pretty inconsistent, yet there is a bit of charm to the overall feel. The controls are fairly smooth and there is a neat level editor included which opens the doors to tons of potential community content. In the end though, it is too short, too retro…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Race.a.bit is a very simple indie racing game that is fun at moments, but isn't so good overall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun old style indie racing game You can create your own tracks Fun for some races every now and then Have fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game. Making your track and play them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like an 8-Bit Trackmania game... on Crack!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its good not great game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very simple top-down racing game with outlandish tracks. All races are time-trial style where you compete to beat a score and see how high your time can rank. There are a set of official tracks which get gradually more tricky, and hundreds of player-made tracks (which range from terrible to awesome). The track editor lets you build your own tracks just as good as the official ones. Althought the editor is pretty tedious to use, you can really unleash your creativity and make whatever…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is exactly the type of game that I like to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a lot of fun in short spurts for a few reasons. 1. The retro inspired graphics are really fun and easy on the eyes. 2. There is a track editor which allows other players to play your tracks. 3. Even though the community is small, there is a lot of player made tracks to try out. The only downside is that the community is really small and it deserves a lot more players than it currently has
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just love the simplicity of the game ... simple time attack , controls were simple to pick up on control and my file from when i had it on mobile over two years ago still existed so i got all my old tracks back but this time can play with a proper control rather than on a touch screen control on a small screen ... very happy with my purchase
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and fun. Reminds me of old top-down racers on the 8bit & 16 bit consoles and computers. Nice track editor with online sharing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like Trackmania, but in 8bits... no, 4bits, because it's very ugly... ...but actually it's better than Trackmania.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good little game, doesn't look spectacular at first, but the bameplay is excellent, different play modes add more even more value. A minor hidden gem
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you loose your account you loose ALL of your data, this game is good otherwise but i dont know why you cant just store the data locally or through steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome editor! Check out my tracks and rate them ***** My name in the game is fox. Add me to friendlist!
