Flow description

Full throttle on 832 LEDs. AWTRIX GP turns the whole 52×16 panel of your Ulanzi TC002 into a futuristic hover racer in the spirit of the 16-bit classics: a scrolling Mode-7 track, five rival pilots, boost, dash plates and a pit lane. You play it with a Bluetooth gamepad, and it runs entirely on the clock, with no PC or phone involved.

What's inside

  • Five tracks: Neon City, Sunset Bay, Frost Peak, Magma Run and Star Circuit, each with its own look, surfaces and soundtrack.
  • Grand Prix: five races of three laps against five CPU pilots, with points by place (10/7/5/3/2/1) and three spare machines. Your progress is saved between sessions.
  • Time Attack: race alone; the best time and best lap are kept for every track and machine.
  • Three machines: COMET (balanced), BLAZE (fastest, but fragile) and TITAN (quick off the line, heavy and tough).
  • Energy: barriers, collisions and boosting cost energy. The pink pit lane refills it, and at zero your machine explodes.
  • Surfaces: yellow dash plates throw you forward, sand slows you down, and ice has little grip.
  • Full sound: 11 sound effects and a soundtrack played by the clock's own synthesizer. Everything is original and made for this game.

What you need

  • An Ulanzi TC002 with AWTRIX NG. The game fills its 52×16 panel.
  • A Bluetooth gamepad, paired under System → Gamepad in the web UI.
  • Installing from the Hub brings the sound effects along: 11 files, 23 KB.

How to play

AWTRIX GP does not run in the app rotation. To start it, hold the middle button on the clock for a second, choose Scripts, then AWTRIX GP. The title shows a demo race; press A to open the menu. Hold the middle button again to leave; your settings and progress stay.

Action Button
Steer left stick or D-pad
Accelerate A or RT
Brake B or LT
Lean into a turn L1 / R1
Boost (from lap 2, costs energy) X or Y
Pause START (SELECT in the pause quits)

Tip: press the gas in the last moment before GO for a rocket start.

Settings

Open the gear next to AWTRIX GP in the web UI's Apps list:

  • Skill: easy, normal or hard. Hard makes the CPU pilots faster and hits cost more energy.
  • Sound and Music: switch the effects and the soundtrack on or off.
