A retro-inspired top-down racing game

Micro Pico Racers is a retro-styled racing game that draws heavy inspiration from the classic Micro Machines games. It features a top-down perspective, allowing the player to see much of the track and any of the other racers clearly. In addition to the 60 levels to complete, there are over 20 vehicles to race.

The game sports a true top-down perspective like classic games of this type, whereas other modern games that draw from the same inspiration tend to use a 3D style, like Mini Moto Racing and Hot Wheels Unleashed.

Retro racing fun

Micro Pico Racers aims to provide a simple, fun racing experience that can be enjoyed by casual players and more experienced players alike. It may appeal particularly to those who remember the Micro Machines and Hot Wheels games that inspired this one. Players can compete in a number of races, drive over 20 different cars, and compete online.

Game modes and content variety

The fundamental game modes included in Micro Pico Racers include single-player, online multiplayer, and local multiplayer. The latter mode is available in both shared and split-screen. There is also Grand Prix mode, which provides 60 levels to complete.

A fun but limited racing game

The core mechanics of Micro Pico Racers provides a fun arcade-like racing experience that can be enjoyed against friends or the AI. The game doesn’t have much depth, however, so players may find the game feeling repetitive after a short time. This may make it more suited to a multiplayer experience with friends rather than a single-player game against the computer AI.
