Space Cord drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is racing. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Space Cord

How to play Space Cord
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Space Cord does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
