Skidlark

One tiny kart, one clock, and the ghost of your best lap right in front of you.

Skidlark is a short, snappy racing time-trial. Ten tracks through meadows, dunes, snowy pines, sunset hills, a beach, an autumn wood and a moonlit loop, each 35 to 85 seconds long. Brake-tap into a drift, hold the slide and straighten up for a boost. Shave tenths off every corner, chase the medal times, and restart instantly whenever a lap goes wrong.

• Ten tracks and a daily one: a new track every day, the same for everyone
• Bronze, silver, gold and author times on every track; gold opens new kart paints, bronze opens the next track
• Race your ghost: your best lap drives alongside you, and every checkpoint tells you whether you are ahead or behind
• Drift boosts, speed lines, skid marks and a little engine that shifts gears
• Instant restart with R, Enter or a tap; your best times are saved in the browser
• Plays on desktop and phones (no tilt: hold a side to steer), no download, no account
