What Makes Tappy Lap Stand Out
Fantastic one-finger Stock Car Racing!
Just "Tap" to change steering direction. Hold the screen to straighten up, speed match the car in front, or just brake. It's brilliantly context sensitive.
Get bonus points by Drafting other cars using the slipstream, blocking faster cars for a speed boost, or racing clean laps.
Race 18 tiers of varied race modes: star grabbing, rival races and more. Get faster cars as your skills improve for some some intense Tappy Lap action!

Community Insight:
Excellent game. Simple but tricky. Would like to see STATS! Total races Distance traveled Total wins, 2nd, 3rd Avg finish Best times for each track Avg times for each track Total tries on each track Total crashes on each track (DNF) Total crashes overall Worst crash (total cars hit) Total cars hit/crashed into A NEW mode; crash derby, where the goal is to crash and eliminate as many cars as possible within 3 laps. (Your car is indestructable). Track total cars crashed, most cars crashed per race (all are 3 lap races), avg cars crashes per race. Theres a TON you can do with this! Most importantly, KEEP THE ADS OUT.
This game is simple, it does take some time to get used to the play style, its definitely like an old arcade game. It needed a tutorial and its probably abandoned by the programmers, but it could have been developed into something really fun with a story mode or a career mode with seasons. Still lots of fast intense competition.
First off let us say: TOP DOWN DAYTONA USA IS VERY ENJOYABLE Two:: Very glad there are NO ADS AT ALL LOVE YOU FOR THAT Three::: THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH HERE TO KEEP ONE ENTERTAINED DO NOT KNOW WHY PEOPLE BE HATIN ON A GREAT AND UNIQUE GAMING EXPERIENCE we do not know if you are ever going to release more tracks but if not: YOUR TEAM DID A GREAT JOB MAKING A GREAT GAME Saint Anthony signing off.
It's ok as a time killer, but nothing else.
Please. Add more tracks, cars or modes to this game. It is very fun, wish it had more stuff in it tho. Thanks.
By far the most stupid game Ive ever played! Steering is a guess, at best! If you get hung on the inside wall out of turn 1, youre done! Theres no getting off of it which eventually leads to a crash! As far as challenges that dictate no damage, lol, good freakin luck. Game could have potential if it wasnt crap.
Kinda picky to nail things like draft bonuses. We'd like to take it less seriously but that doesn't get you to the next race.
