Top-down time-attack racer for iOS. 23 real-geometry circuits, a 20-round career, and a ghost of your best lap waiting on every track. No ads. No subscriptions. Pay once, own everything. Built solo — the whole game is smaller than the payment SDK inside it.
Hi PH 👋 I'm Max,
I spent the summer building Fastest Lap — a racing game where the only opponent is a ghost of your own best lap. No traffic, no luck, just you vs a lap that already exists.
A few odd choices: the 23 tracks are built from real-world road geometry, the game logic runs on a tiny deterministic Zig core, and the whole thing is smaller than the payment SDK bundled inside it 😅
No ads, no subscriptions — pay once, own every circuit. Free to try with 3 tracks.
Happy to answer anything about building it solo, the Zig engine, or shipping a premium game in 2026. Would love your feedback 🏁
If you want the technical deep-dive — how the whole game ended up smaller than the payment SDK, and why I built the engine in Zig — I wrote it up here: https://medium.com/@maximbilan/i...
