Show HN: SimDrive – a browser racing game with your phone as the controller:D

https://simdrive.xyz/
1•1000xcat•1h ago
Games in general and multiplayer games have been a big part of what my friends do together (not just digital; sports, board + card games)

And it moved to online games as more of us moved to other places and party games became our go-to

Love jackbox and gaming couch (that I discovered here on HN)

I saw the vibej.am for this year and I couldn't think of a good enough idea till about the 3rd week but here I am!

This is a game made for me and my friends and it's also very inspired by what I thought the PS3 6-axis controller would be when I first heart about it

Thanks for reading this and I hope you and your friends enjoy playing

You can play either split screen or on separate screens with the room code or even have two split screens play too (max 8 players for now)

It started with F1 cars but working on go-karts, trucks and tuk tuks :D

I've tried to include a lot of "simulation" in the game. There's decent physics that include down force, grip etc and it even changes with/without the rain

Ideally you have an android+chrome phone so you can "feel" your driving with vibrations/haptics but otherwise you'll have just sound as feedback

Oops long post, bye

Nice job. A few years back I saw a Reddit post/game about using a mobile phone’s accelerometer to control a browser-based racing game on a separate monitor, we need more games in this space.

Feedback

- The pink trees on Sakura really need to be fixed. The leaves themselves are offset in a strange way, they’re not centered on the actual trunk.

- It would be helpful to have a way to detect if the phone isn’t in landscape mode and prompt the user to rotate. It’s a small thing, but it would be a nice quality-of-life improvement.

- The sausage fingers hands are... distracting. I’d consider remodeling them.
