How to play
Alternate the two keys to drive each leg. Getting the timing right builds a smooth, fast stride; hitting them too fast or out of sequence trips the runner.

DriftBoss Tips
01Start slow and build. The opening metres set the rhythm for the whole race.
02Listen as much as you watch — the footfall audio is a better metronome than the animation.
03If the runner starts flailing, slow down deliberately rather than pushing harder.
04Consistency beats speed. A steady rhythm outruns a fast, broken one every time.

About Speed Stars
Speed Stars turned the old track-and-field key-masher into a genuine rhythm game with ragdoll physics that punish panic.
The comedy of a collapsing sprinter is part of the appeal, but there is real technique underneath it.

FAQ
Why does my runner keep falling over?
You are mashing. The keys need to alternate in time with the stride, not as fast as possible.
Can I race another person?
This build focuses on beating your own times against AI opponents.
Does the rhythm change during a race?
Your stride rate builds as you accelerate, so the tempo you start with is not the one you finish with.
