Racing games are about one feeling: going fast and beating everyone else to the line. The genre spans arcade karting with power-ups and forgiving physics, realistic simulation with tyre wear and pit strategy, and endless runners where you just try to survive longer than last time. Games like Mario Kart and Hill Climb Racing show how differently that one idea can be built.

Makermint makes a 2D, single-player take on the genre, a track viewed from the top down or from the side, playable in your browser. Describe the kind of race you want, a kart racer with power-ups, a retro pixel racer, a side-scrolling motorbike run, and Makermint builds the track, vehicle handling, and AI opponents to match, ready to play in a few minutes. Ask for a nitro boost, a new track, or tighter cornering, and try the next version right away.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint what kind of racing game you want. A kart racer with power-ups, a top-down retro racer, a side-scrolling motorbike game, whatever fits. Plain English is all it takes.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint generates the track, vehicle handling, AI opponents, and speed effects for your game, along with a title screen. Most versions are ready to try within a few minutes.

  3. Play and iterate

    Play the game right away in your browser. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a drift mechanic" or "add a nitro boost", and try the update immediately.

  4. Publish and share

    When it's ready, publish your racing game. You get a link to share with anyone, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to play.
