Here's a game that's refreshingly simple, but very hard to master. It's a curious take on Pac-Man in which you control a race car travelling anti-clockwise round a maze- you can only switch lanes or accelerate, you have no control over the direction of travel. You have to collect all the dots on the race track while avoiding the other car that is travelling clockwise round the maze- if the 2 collide they explode and you have to start the level all over again.

Sounds simple, but it's pretty hard to master! Nevertheless, I find this very compelling, and it's a nice quick game to play if you've got a minute or 2. There are numerous rounds to choose from, but the maze layout remains the same, however later rounds introduce a 3rd car, making things even harder still!
