Holi Speedster is India's premier mobile racing game that combines high-speed action with the vibrant colors of the Holi festival. Developed by Indian studios, this game has captured the hearts of over 5 million players across the country since its 2022 launch.
The game features unique Indian-themed tracks, vehicles, and power-ups inspired by Holi traditions. Players race through streets splashed with gulal (colored powder) while collecting traditional sweets and avoiding water balloons thrown by mischievous NPCs.
Holi Speedster offers three distinct game modes:
The primary mode where players race through 10 Indian cities during Holi season. Each city features:
A competitive multiplayer mode where players use water guns (pichkaris) to slow down opponents while racing. This mode has become particularly popular during real-world Holi celebrations.
An endless runner variant where players balance on a floating thaali (plate) while collecting colors and avoiding obstacles. This mode tests precision and timing.

"Play early morning during Holi season - server loads are lighter and you get double color rewards." - GamerTag: BangaloreRacer
