Skidloop

Skidloop is a drift racing game on a looping circuit with red-and-white kerbs. You pick a car, race against three computer-driven cars and watch a drift counter and a digital speedometer while you slide through the corners.

How to play

1. On the first screen, accept or change the nickname and press Apply.
2. Open the Singleplayer tile and press Select on the Race Track card, a three-lap circuit in the Drift regime.
3. Look through the cars with the left and right arrows on screen, then press Select on the one you want.
4. Drive with the arrow keys; holding the up arrow accelerates the car.
5. Watch the Total score and the speedometer in the corners of the screen.
6. Use the round R button to restart and the II button to pause.

What you see on screen

• Car screen: the car name, Power, Control and Mass bars, a paint brush, a statistics icon and your balance in the corner.
• Locked and priced cars: one car is locked until you take first place on the track, and one shows a price of $3000.
• Race screen: Time, Total, Best and Lap 1/3 on the left, a scoreboard with the computer-driven cars, and a speedometer on the right.
• Messages: a big Go!!! at the start, a drift score pop-up while you slide, and a red Wrong direction warning when the car faces backwards.

Tips

• Do not hold the up arrow alone. In our runs the car ended against the outer barrier at the first bend about 45 seconds after the start.
• Waiting does not score. With no keys pressed our car stayed near the start gate and the Total stayed at 0.
• The computer-driven cars score fast; one reached 13,577 points in about 45 seconds.
