Draw Line Racing
Draw Line Racing is a racing game where you draw the racing line instead of steering. You trace a lap around a circuit shaped like a country, and your car then drives the line you drew at the speed you drew it. A race is five laps against five computer cars or against recorded runs from other players, and every circuit has a global leaderboard.
Free in the browser. One circuit is free each day, and the USA is always free.
Draw a lap
Each lap starts with drawing. You press near the start line and drag around the circuit with the mouse or a finger, passing through every checkpoint in order. The checkpoints are circles on the track and can be hidden with the Checkpoints button. If you miss one, the game asks you to draw the lap again.
The game records how fast your pointer moves, and the car drives each part of the line at that speed. The line is coloured by speed as you draw it, from green for slow to red for fast, and a speed bar is shown at the top. If the line leaves the track, the car slows to 15% of its speed until it is back on.
Race five laps
After you draw a lap, you can redraw it or race it. The cars then drive that lap and the timing panel shows the order. Between laps you draw the next one, so each of the five laps can take a different line. Your time is the total of all five laps.
Race vs AI puts you against five computer cars, Rusty, Oscar, Sunny, Gio and Cy, on Easy, Medium or Hard. Winning on each difficulty earns a medal for that circuit. Race vs Real Times replaces the computer cars with recorded runs from other players near your rank, and opens on a circuit once five players have set times there.
Results and sharing
The results screen shows the standings, your total and your best lap. To put a run on the circuit’s global leaderboard, you enter a name under Claim your time.
Share your line makes a 1200 × 630 image of the line you drew, with your time, your fastest lap and your rank. Racing on consecutive days builds a streak, which is shown on the results screen.
Circuits and the daily track
There are 145 circuits, each drawn from the outline of a country and set in an illustrated scene from that country. The home screen shows a world map and a strip of circuit outlines. You can move through them with the arrow keys or by swiping, and each card shows the current record holder.
One circuit is free each day. The free track changes at midnight UTC and works through the circuits in a fixed order, so a locked card says how long until it opens. The USA circuit is always free. Unlock all costs $4.99 once and opens every circuit.
Other ways to play
Draw Line Racing is also on the App Store for iPhone and as a Chrome extension. A two-player version is on Pearcade, where both players draw a lap and then watch who wins.
