StepRace brings classic vector racing back: instead of steering directly left or right, every turn changes your racer's acceleration. Speed and direction carry forward, so planning ahead matters more than fast reflexes. Choose one of nine accelerations. Move previews immediately show which options are safe, which cross the finish line and where a crash awaits. Leave the road and your velocity resets. Features: • 12 handcrafted tracks, from flowing starter courses and free endurance runs to demanding mountain and night circuits • Route and circuit rules with visible, ordered checkpoint areas • Move previews, velocity display and an automatic follow camera • Personal challenges to finish in fewer and fewer moves • A Game Center leaderboard for every track • Live online races against a friend with alternating turns and blocking racing lines • Five free tracks plus permanent Challenge and Elite track-pack unlocks • Direct feedback by email and quick access to App Store ratings • English and German interface • VoiceOver support and scalable controls Like the graph-paper classic, the racer who best anticipates momentum, corners and braking distance wins.
