Sendstorm: top-down arcade racing in your browser

Sendstorm is a browser-playable 3D arcade racer inspired by the chunky cars and chaotic racing of late-1990s PC games. Drift through corners, collect nitro, dodge traffic and take on jumps across six low-poly venues.

Race solo, side by side or online

• Single player: race computer rivals, chase your best time in time trials, or compete in four Glory Tours.
• Local two-player: race together on one device using keyboard or gamepad controls.
• Private online races: create a room and invite friends for races with up to six players. Computer rivals can fill empty grid slots.
• Elimination: the last active car is eliminated whenever the leader completes a lap. The final survivor wins.

Six tracks around the world

• Frostbite Summit, Finland: snowy mountain racing.
• Redstone Run, Morocco: an industrial quarry circuit.
• Neon Breakwater, Japan: a neon-lit harbor venue.
• Serengeti Sprint, Tanzania: racing through the savanna.
• Fjordfall Run, Norway: coastal cliffs, a waterfall and mountain tunnels.
• First Light, Türkiye: Cappadocia switchbacks, a banked bowl and valley shortcuts.

The beta includes twelve distinct cars with different power, grip and drift behavior. Venue-specific weather, breakable obstacles and moving traffic make each race a little different.

How to play

Keyboard, player one: W accelerates, A and D steer, S brakes or reverses, Left Shift applies the handbrake, E boosts and R resets the car. Esc or P pauses.

Keyboard, player two: use the arrow keys to drive, Right Ctrl for the handbrake, / for boost and Enter to reset.

Gamepad: steer with the left stick, accelerate with the right trigger, brake with the left trigger, use A for the handbrake and B or the right bumper for boost.

Touch: steer with the left pad and use the right pedal controls for gas, drift, boost and braking. Landscape orientation works best.
