Simple Rally vs Surakarta

Put your racing skills to the test in a unique turn-based format! Find the fastest route to the finish while staying within bounds and ahead of your opponents. Enjoy unlimited racetracks and compete across three distinct game modes, locally and online. All completely free to play! OVERVIEW SIMPLE RALLY adapts its core mechanic from a classic paper and pencil game called RACETRACK. In the game, you move along two-dimensional vectors drawn on a grid. A single move's vector cannot differ from the previous move's vector by more than one in each dimension. If you go out of bounds, you crash and move back at least two positions (or further if the position is occupied). There are three modes in SIMPLE RALLY. The first is a duel for two players, where each player moves twice per turn, except for the initial turn, in which only the second player moves twice. The player who reaches the finish line first immediately wins the race, regardless of the move order. The second racing mode allows up to eight players, with each player making one move per turn. In this mode, players cannot occupy the same position and they move in the reverse order of their initial placement on the start line. Again, the first player to reach the finish immediately wins the race, regardless of the move order. The third mode is Time Attack, where the goal is to find the fastest route through a track and achieve the best result. A result consists of the number of moves and the total length of the player's path to the finish line. If two results have the same number of moves, the one with a shorter path is considered faster. The game offers three difficulty levels: the easiest provides hints about which moves lead to a crash and which are safe, while the hardest features the most unforgiving AI opponents. All modes can also be played online against other players. Have questions? Reach out directly on our subreddit!

Surakarta brings Central Java's classic strategy game to your phone — a capture mechanic found in no other board game on Earth. THE LOOP CAPTURE Every point on the board connects orthogonally, but the outer two rings also loop around the board's corners. Step a piece one square at a time like normal — or, from a ring, ride the loop all the way around and land on the first enemy piece in its path, capturing it from a direction they never saw coming. NEVER FORCED TO CAPTURE Unlike most capture games, taking a piece in Surakarta is always optional. Play patiently, bait a loop attack, or strike the moment you see an opening — the choice is always yours. 12 PIECES A SIDE, ONE GOAL Capture every one of your opponent's 12 pieces to win. The 4 points at the board's dead center touch no loop at all — the only truly safe squares on the board.
