I have a few complaints for this otherwise good game. The first complaint has to do with the graphical interface. When selecting the level in the beginning, it is not obvious enough what buttons you have to press. Several kids in my school have been baffled by the level selection screen. My second issue is the name of the game. I think it should have been called "Sticky Car" because the car seems to have the tendency to "stick" to the walls. This, added to the poor handling, makes it very aggravating. Other than that, I believe the game is a worthy download, you figure out the controls real quickly, and after a while, the stickiness of the car doesn't hinder your gameplay as you become better.

Overall: 8/10 (Could use some work in the handling and collision).

“Tiny car” is one of the best games I've seen for 83+, but I think there's a lot of space for improvement. A brake would be nice instead of just letting go of the acceleration button. A level editor would be cool too, as well as maybe a score reset and etc.. Anyway, “Tiny car” is a must download =)

Having played “MegaCar,” I wanted to test this racing game out, and I wasn't disappointed!

Gameplay: Really, really fast, truly a racing game! You almost forget you are playing on a TI-83+! This quickness has its drawbacks, however. The car goes so fast that you have to know the track to avoid running into a wall, but that wouldn't disappoint anyone! The controls are easy to learn and use.

User-friendliness: I liked the fact that you can archive/unarchive the track files, so that you don't have to go to your memory every time you wanted to choose another track. The program interface is easy to understand; it's nice to see the track before you race.

Graphics: Some great work has been done here. Very nice graphics for a monochrome calculator! Too bad you are racing too quickly to take a view at the nice scenery all around you on the tracks.

Options & Functions: “Tiny car” has simple high score saving, but alas, you cannot save your initials. There is big fun seeing your car race the track again, while bashing into that bend you couldn't take...but making your quickest lap ever!

Scores:
Gameplay: 9.5/10
User-friendliness: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Options: 9/10
Overall: 9.6/10. Great program, a must download!

“Tiny car” is a very cool game with awesome graphics. This is probably the best “bird's eye view” racing game for the 83+ yet, if not the best racing game overall. All the graphics (the car, road, grass, plants, walls, road blocks) are extremely well designed and actually look like what they are supposed to be! My only complaints are that there is no level editor, the turning is a little slow (making it hard to do hair-pin turns), and this is only for MirageOS (not Ion). Other than that, awesome game man! A definite must-have 83+ game that won't leave my calc for a long time!

10/10 Please make a level editor!! That would rule!
