The game offers two primary modes:

• Racing: Players compete in car races on tracks against artificial intelligence or other online users. Power-ups allow them to gain advantages during the race.
• Battle: Participants gather in an enclosed area, using power-ups to attack opponents while avoiding attacks themselves. Laqirace supports various gameplay options, including solo games against artificial intelligence, single matches with online players, and online tournaments. Offline games adjust difficulty dynamically based on the player's progress, while online games feature real users with controls optimized for compatibility across mobile and PC platforms. ^{[5] [6]}

Game Modes

Laqirace offers five distinct game modes—Story Mode, Normal Race, Ranked Race, Tournament, and Battle—accessible to players as guests or via wallet-connected IDs. Each mode provides unique gameplay and objectives. ^{[5] [6]}

• Ranked Race: This Player vs. Player (PVP) mode limits players to a specific number of daily games, or "rings," based on their character’s quality. Players earn ranking points through race results and can complete daily and weekly quests to gain experience (EXP) and rewards. Participation requires at least one NFT character or car, as default assets are prohibited.
• Normal Race: This mode has no restrictions on the number of races players can join, allowing them to become familiar with the gameplay. Players can complete quests but do not earn ranking trophies or rewards. Races are initiated via matchmaking, prioritizing online players. If enough players are unavailable, AI-controlled opponents are added. Both default and NFT assets are eligible for this mode.
• Story Mode: Consisting of 20 PVE (Player vs. Environment) stages, Story Mode pits players against AI-controlled characters like Bear Hope, Deer Rudolph, and others. Each character has four stages: three six-player races (5 AI vs. player) and one final solo challenge. Difficulty adjusts based on player rank, and participants can use either default or purchased characters and cars.
• Battle: In this competitive mode, six players join a match after paying a $5 entry fee. Using power-ups, they aim to attack opponents and avoid being hit. The first player to inflict 20 damage points wins the round, with prizes distributed among the top three players. Ties are resolved based on inflicted damage or last-hit criteria. Participants gain EXP through battle matches.
