## What is ALLEYCAT?

ALLEYCAT is a bicycle racing simulator set in the busy city streets of a procedurally generated world.  Racers move from checkpoint to checkpoint trying to complete the race as fast as they can. 

Pick your own path through the city, but watch out for the other vehicles on the road if you want to finish the race in one piece.  Parked vehicles might open their doors so be careful during tight squeezes.  

Touch the bottom half of the screen to go forward, steer by moving your finger left and right on the screen.  To use the breaks, slide up to the centre of the screen, or do a sharp turn to skid and drop your speed.

This game does its best to support older devices with optimized settings such as framerate control, shadow settings, and field of view settings.  It is designed to run at 60 frames per second on iPhone 6 and newer devices.
