Introduction

As if racing in clouds wasn't difficult enough, the faeries invented a new way to race in the sky. The fast-pace of this game surely brings Faerie Cloud Racers to a whole new level. Buckle up and show the world who is the best racer!

Controls & Instructions

Press spacebar to start each level. Use your left arrow and right arrow keys to navigate. These controls are relative to the position that you are occupying, which means that if you face the east direction and want to go up, you have to press your left arrow key. As soon as the game starts, your flying ship move forwards, leaving a trail of smoke behind. Your ship will only stop if you run into a wall or into a smoke trail.

The game screen consist of a large 3D view of the racing circuit and a small 2D view. The 2D view is located in the bottom left corner of the game screen. It's by far easier to concentrate on the 2D view when you play this game.

There are 3 power ups that you can collect in Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers. Each of them have a different effect on your game play.

Powerups
(Blue square in 2D)	Meerca Tail: This power up grows your smoke trail. Good option if you are trying to trap your opponent.
(White square in 2D)	Tonu Charge: This power up allows you to crash into smoke trails. Good option if you are trying to trap your opponents.
(Green square in 2D)	Sluggish Slorg: This power up slows you down. Good option to gain bonus points.

Scoring system

The scoring system of Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers is easy to understand. Stay alive and earn 40 points for each of level you complete. Whenever a racer crashes into your smoke trail, you earn 5 points. It's also possible to earn bonus points when you perform tricks. All the tricks involve turning very close to a wall and award you between 3 and 42 points.

Tips and Strategies

After trying this game for the first time, you may have thought it was nearly impossible to control your flying ship. If that's your case, I strongly suggest you only focus on the small map rather than looking at the game screen. The 2D view has all the information you need to play the game and, additionally, it won't make feel you sick when you look at it.

There are many strategies you can use in this game. Because you earn points when you proceed to the next level, your primary aim should be to stay alive and to wander in the clouds until all your opponents have crashed themselves. If you find it difficult, stay in your starting zone and press either the left or the right arrow key to move in circle.

Use the power-ups efficiently. As explained previously, your score depends on the amount of levels you can beat and the bonus points that you collect. The sluggish slorg power-up can be used to your advantage to increase your bonus points. Once activated, this power-up slows you down and makes it easier for you to abrubtly turn close to a wall or a smoke trail. Be careful to stay in control of your ship before the effect of the power-up vanishes to avoid losing a life.

Conclusion

Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers has a unique feel even though it's part of a sequel. Once you focus on the 2D view, it becomes easy to survive through the round. Have fun racing and be careful around that poor Discarted Magical Grundo Plushie of Prosperity.
