Road for Minicar turns your iPhone or iPad into a tiny moving stage for die-cast cars and minicars. No engines. No batteries in the toy. Just put it on top of your screen, and let the road do the rest. — FOUR DRIVING MODES — • Normal Road A clean, customizable street. Pick the lane count, set the speed, and watch the asphalt flow under your toy car. • Expressway Choose a route and cruise. Long, continuous lanes designed for highway-style play. • Education Mode A friendly, kid-focused mode that introduces basic traffic rules through simple quizzes. Clear them and unlock new content. • Pass Battle Mode Late-night mountain road vibes.
