Turn a mundane domestic setting into a dramatic racing circuit full of hazards and treacherous obstacles once again in this nostalgic top-down Unity-based indie racer called Tiny Tires.
Do you remember the classic Micro Machines series, bringing to life children's games of turning the breakfast table into a risky racing track with food and kitchen utensils? Want to play a cute racing game and swerve at the last minute to avoid crushing into cereal? This charming stylized retro racing game might be for you.
Tiny Tires is a top-down arcade nostalgic racer made by Game Developer and Motion Graphics Designer Jón Kristinsson, heavily inspired by the Micro Machines toy line of miniature vehicles and the series of racing games based on household settings with obstacles in the form of mundane items.
