Take It Racing 2
Take It Racing 2 is a pseudo racing game built around stats. Buy better cars to race harder races to earn more money. Each race is split into sections, you must decide how to race to shave off precious time and win the upper hand. But keep an eye on your fuel and temperature gauges or you might be left eating dust!
Take It Racing 2 here! You can enjoy it on your Game Boy, Analogue Pocket on in an emulator! With 5 team leaders holding 30 new cars to unlock, race your way up the classes and collect them all!
Don't forget to download and read the helpful Starter Guide!
Take It Racing 2 is built in GB Studio for the original Game Boy but is also playable on Game Boy compatible hardware including emulators.

Special thank you all my patrons on Patreon and my subscribers on YouTube!
The first Take It Racing was made over one week for GB Jam 8 and the Unexpected Jam. Take it Racing 2 has been in my mind ever since. It took two months to complete the first version of the Demo. Since then the game has changed a lot! I have now been working on Take It Racing 2 for two years.

lovely!
is the game selling well? i see no comments, witch surprises me a bit because the game is quite nice.
The game was in development for years and had a discussion board style community section to discuss changes and features, but when I changed it to this classic comment section that was all lost unfortunately.
oh, okay
i would appreciate to see the opponents cars on the mini map.
Thank you for the feedback, I'm hoping to do this in Take It Racing 3!
cool, even tough i could only play the demo, i will be looking forward to playing the next one as well. and i think its cool that you even sell a physical copy.
You can also find the game on Nintendo Switch, it has a free demo there too!
