Mirror Race – Same Maze, Flipped Lanes, Head-to-Head
Mirror Race puts two players on opposite sides of one keyboard. Left track (WASD) and right track (arrows) are mirror layouts of the same obstacles. Dash upward to the finish zone; whoever arrives first wins, or whoever climbed farther when the 30-second clock hits zero.

About this game
Local couch competition without online lobbies: shared keyboard, mirrored geometry that rewards reading walls differently on each side, and a short timer that keeps rematches snappy. Click the canvas, start sliding past barriers, press R when you want a clean restart.
Controls
| Player | Keys |
|---|---|
| Player 1 | W A S D (left track) |
| Player 2 | Arrow keys (right track, mirrored) |
| Both | R = restart · First to finish or farther in 30s wins |
Common use cases
- Settle a quick “who’s faster?” argument on one laptop.
- Warm up reaction and pathfinding with a friend beside you.
- Play a local two-player browser race when you refuse to install yet another launcher.
Tips
- Your walls are mirrored—don’t copy your opponent’s turns blindly.
- Hug safe gaps early; the finish band is narrow and the clock is short.
- If both of you reach the finish area, the race settles by progress—keep nudging upward.
FAQ
Is Mirror Race online multiplayer?
No. Both players share one keyboard on the same computer.
How do you win?
Reach the finish zone first, or be farther up the track when 30 seconds end. Equal progress is a draw.
Why do the tracks look flipped?
The right course is a horizontal mirror of the left, so each player learns a different approach to the same obstacles.
Is Mirror Race free?
Yes. Browser play, no accounts, no download.
