Remember those old Flash games that just felt fast? Sonic Racer nails that—you’re basically Sonic on a skateboard, weaving through traffic like he’s late for chili dogs. The controls are dead simple: left and right to dodge cars, up and down to speed up or brake (though let’s be real, you’re mostly holding up).

It’s pure chaos—you’ve got a minute to grab rings and avoid getting wrecked by trucks, but the faster you go, the harder it gets to react. First time I played, I faceplanted into a taxi within 10 seconds. The physics are janky in that classic Flash way, where sometimes you clip through stuff and suddenly you’re airborne for no reason. Somehow that just makes it more fun.

Perfect for killing five minutes when you’re pretending to work. Just don’t blame me when you yell after losing by three rings.
