Description
Top-down time-attack racer for iOS. 23 real-geometry circuits, a 20-round career, and a ghost of your best lap waiting on every track. No ads. No subscriptions. Pay once, own everything. Built solo — the whole game is smaller than the payment SDK inside it.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a full 2D top-down mobile racing game with accurate track geometry, ghost recording/replay interpolation, and responsive physics requires specialized game engine and math expertise beyond standard vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A developer would typically use Unity, Godot, or native SpriteKit/Metal with C# or Swift. The challenging elements involve writing stable 2D vehicle dynamics (drift, traction, slip angles), precise ghost telemetry recording with fixed-timestep delta compression, and digitizing 23 accurate track spline geometries. Game math, deterministic physics updates, and mobile performance optimization require hands-on game development engineering.
