About Farmula Grain Prix
Farmula Grain Prix is a top-down tractor racing game with a farm theme running all the way through it, from the corn on its checkered-flag logo to the harvest it was built around.
You drive a tractor with a gas pedal, brakes and a nitro boost, and the mouse also handles the menus and placing buildings, so there's more to it than lap times. You can drive with WASD, with the arrow keys, with the mouse, or with a controller.
This is an early build that's still being worked on, so expect the odd bug or balance quirk. You can play Farmula Grain Prix online here, and you get Farmula Grain Prix free, with your save kept in the browser.
How to Play Farmula Grain Prix
- Press any key on the title screen to begin.
- On WASD, W is gas, A and D turn, Space brakes and Left Shift fires nitro.
- On the arrow keys, Up or Z is gas, Left and Right turn, Space brakes, X fires nitro and C is brake or back.
- With the mouse, the left button is gas, the right button is nitro, and B goes back.
- Use the mouse to work the menus and place buildings.
- Remap keys under Options, then Controls, if a layout feels awkward.
What to Expect in Farmula Grain Prix
It plays like a classic top-down racer, with the camera looking down on chunky pixel tractors. The fun is in throwing a farm vehicle around corners and saving nitro for the straights.
Three control setups mean you can drive the way that suits you, and controllers work too. It has had several updates already, so the version you load is newer than the jam original.
Tips for Farmula Grain Prix
- Pick one control setup and stick with it. Switching between WASD, arrows and mouse mid-race is a quick way to end up off the track.
- Fire nitro on straights, not halfway through a turn.
- Brake before a corner, then steer. A tractor at full speed does not turn sharply.
- If a key feels awkward, remap it under Options and Controls.
- Play in the same browser each time so your save is still there when you return.
