Mars Racing Meets Mind-Bending Portals

An indie dev’s cosmic creation is redefining virtual escapades.

This sci-fi racing game, Cars on Mars, isn't just about driving; it's an interdimensional odyssey. Solo developer Flockaroo has crafted a virtually infinite Martian landscape peppered with portals that transform gameplay into something almost otherworldly.


The game offers three modes: classic race, death match and capture the flag, or simply ‘wandering’ in its procedurally generated world. The real magic lies in these portals, which morph from ink sketches to voxel graphics, mimicking a transition to another dimension.


What sets this indie gem apart is its unconventional coding approach. Without relying on a game engine, Flockaroo has built the environment and cars using pure math and code, demonstrating that creativity can thrive without traditional tools. The developer even hints at user-created levels, suggesting portals might soon be freely placeable.


While no release date has been announced, fans can wishlist it on Steam. Joe, a freelance journalist from Creative Bloq, highlights this innovative project as a standout in the indie gaming scene, pushing boundaries of virtual reality and design.
