Tappy Lap (by Uprising Games Ltd.)

I played a little bit of this today. It's pretty fun. It has a ton of content also. Only issue I had was figuring out the one tap controls for some reason. Once I figured it out though, it was a lot of fun.

Thanks, will be adding more new races, with more new race mode variations in the first update. Will also add a page of tips to help people get to a good level of control a little sooner

The key is to master the timing and learning when to press and hold on the rear bumper of a car to speed match it safely... And don't forget to go back and complete goals on earlier races as you get better cars!

Cheers!

Yea, originally I kept trying to hold my thumb on the screen. That's what was messing me up, but yea. I'm really loving this game.

@NOEN: Thanks for your review. I'll check the game when it releases.

Glad it seems to be going down well! I wanted to make something that has the simplicity of a flappy bird etc. but had a greater degree of skill and judgement, a basis for developing your ability, and most importantly, accurate collision that means the game "feels fair". I hope this is what people find the game to be.

Have loads of content ideas for updates that will follow if the game does well, so please give it a go when it launches world wide on Thursday!

App Store text :-

Fantastic one-finger Stock Car Racing!

Just "Tap" to change steering direction. Hold the screen to straighten up, speed match the car in front, or just brake. It's brilliantly context sensitive.

Get bonus points by Drafting other cars using the slipstream, blocking faster cars for a speed boost, or racing clean laps.

Race 9 tiers of varied race modes: star grabbing, rival races and more. Get faster cars as your skills improve for some some intense Tappy Lap action!

Gameplay:


(Sorry about the game volume being a little high. I'm still trying to tweak everything so you can hear my sexy voice.)

Cheers for making the video. Good to see players taking their first steps with the game.

I'd point out that once you've come 3rd or better in a race, the next race is unlocked in the series, and you can progress through more varied races a little quicker than NOEN did in the video. (this is explained in some 1 time displayed messages in the game)

The first 3 races are very short just to get players used to the game and collecting stars.

But thanks for makng the video, a better tutorial is something we'll probably add.

Yea, it took me a few to figure out for some reason. Once I did figure it out, I was mad at myself at how simple it was. I guess with racing games, your so used to mashing your finger on the screen to accelerate.

Out world-wide today..
