Race with a noob: run or fly

Race with a noob: run or fly puts you in a whimsical duel against a hilariously unskilled rival. The twist? You aren't stuck on the ground—you can leap into the air and fly, giving you a totally different way to navigate each track. Courses are packed with odd obstacles and ramps that reward both quick reflexes and clever use of your two movement styles. Every race turns into a slapstick spectacle thanks to goofy physics and comedic character animations. Your opponent might stumble, trip, or even launch themselves spectacularly, but don't count them out. Balancing speed on foot with the strategic advantage of flying is the key to crossing the finish line first and laughing all the way.
