Audio Rally Racing is a fascinating concept—it’s a racing game designed to be played entirely by sound. It’s remarkably inclusive and shows how creative audio design can replace visual feedback. For sighted players, it's a unique challenge to try and drive using only stereo cues, but for the visually impaired community, it's a rare and high-quality gaming experience.

The engine sounds, the co-driver's voice, and the environmental sound effects are all crisp and provide enough information to navigate tight turns and straightaways. It’s a great example of accessible game design that doesn't sacrifice the 'fun' or 'tension' of a racing game.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. This is something different. It’s hard for me to judge this by the usual standards because there's nothing to look at. Literally. You play with your eyes closed, or just staring at a blank screen. It’s an 'audio game.' As a veteran gamer, it’s humbling to see how much we rely on visual crutches. The 3D audio implementation is actually quite impressive; you really can 'feel' the track through your headphones.

It’s a very specialized experience, and honestly, the 'game' part of it is quite simple. It’s a conservative rally loop, but the medium is the message here. It’s not something I’d play for hours, but I have immense respect for the developers for making something so inclusive and functional. It’s a bit dry in its presentation (for obvious reasons), but it’s a vital piece of software for its intended audience and a cool experiment for everyone else.

AUDIO RALLY RACING is an audiogame about car rally racing, in which you can experience the thrill of speed and reckless driving on country roads and city streets.

Game elements

First you choose a car, then you can start competing in the various races and circuits available. Most of the items are available beginning in 'SINGLE PATH - SINGLE CIRCUIT' mode. Many others can only be played in TOURNAMENT mode, completing the circuits and winning them.

The navigator is an important element of the game: he (or she) will give us the necessary instructions to be able to drive at full speed, pointing out the curves and other obstacles on the way.

Each route consists in straight roads, in variable lenghts, and curves, also variable in their difficulty.

How to play

At the beginning of the session, press WITH ONE FINGER to start the race.

Press WITH FOUR FINGERS to enable or disable the music.

Once the race has started – hear the roar of the engine -, you can drive using the keyboard arrows.

HOLD WITH ONE FINGER: accelerator, you increase the speed

RELEASE THE FINGER: brakes, speed goes down

TILT RIGHT: steer right

TILT LEFT: steer left.

Important note: follow the voice of the navigator telling you when to steer left or right, and also giving indications about the difficulty of the curve.

Holes: to be avoided by steering your car from the center of the road to the sides.

Mud: can't be avoided, reduces manouverability.

Jumps: you need to adjust your speed depending on its height, otherwise you crash and your speed goes to 0.

Uphill/downhill: reduce/increase speed.

NEW: Championship Mode

You start from the first track in the first country, then you need to finish them all, one country after the other, accumulating points. If you complete the full set within one gameplay, you will unlock two further tracks. If you finish them all, you will become World Champion!


Requires iOS 8.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
