Phone · computer · TV
Play it on anything. Put it on the TV.
Nothing to download and nothing to install: Kart Royale runs in the browser you already have, and everyone who presses Play meets in the same public room.
On your phone
Upright or sideways: your left thumb steers, AUTO accelerates, with DRIFT, the item button and BRAKE on the right.
Point your phone’s camera at the code, or open official.homie.rocks/kart-royale/play.
You are on it: press Play above.
On your computer
Arrows or WASD, Shift drifts, Space, E or Enter uses an item, Q looks back. Any standard gamepad works.
On the TV
- Open official.homie.rocks/kart-royale/tv in the TV’s browser, or on a laptop plugged into it.
- Scan the code it shows with your phone’s camera.
- Play on your phone. Everyone on the couch joins the same way, up to 8 racers, and the TV shows the whole room.
The big screen is a race director’s camera on the leader and the closest fight; phones drive the karts.

How to play
Drift it. Boost it. Take the flag.
A kart racer round a sunlit seaside circuit, always on a full grid of eight: bots drive every kart nobody has, and whoever arrives takes one over mid-race. Hold a drift through a corner to charge a boost, pick up items from the boxes, and race two laps for the flag; the next grid lines up by itself. Every mesh, texture and sound effect is generated in code; the band score was recorded for the web room.
- Hold a drift through a corner, then let go for a boost.
- Drive through the item boxes, and use what you get on the karts around you.
- Two laps. Points go 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.
- The next race lines up by itself; anyone arriving takes a kart mid-race.
- free, in the browser
- bots fill empty seats
- join any time: take a bot’s place
- rounds restart on their own
- phones as controllers on a TV
