On Roblox there's no mod: OverInteractive has its own minigames, made for live streams, that run on Roblox and link to your account through the cloud. The first is Galactic Race: every viewer flies a ship with their name and chat decides the race with gifts. There's nothing to install on your PC.
Everything it can do
- Nothing to install: the minigame runs on Roblox and links by itself when you open it from the app.
- Free private server: it connects by itself, today and every time after.
- Up to 24 pilots: chat joins with !join, by typing their Roblox username or with any gift.
- Help for their own ship: boost, sonic boom, shield and hyperjump.
- Attacks on the ship ahead: laser, homing missile, EMP blast and black hole. None of them knock anyone out of the race: they only slow them down.
- An automatic camera that shows who fires what at whom, or stays on the pilot you pick.
- Race and podium overlays, with each viewer's photo.
Link your account
In the Roblox hub, Minigames comes right after Start. Open Galactic Race and click «Open and link»: Roblox opens the minigame and links it to your account by itself, nothing to type. The link goes through the cloud, so you need to be signed in to OverInteractive (Settings › Account).
- If it doesn't link by itself, click «Not linking? Use a code», then «Get code», and type /link and the code in the Roblox chat.
- The code works once and expires after 10 minutes.
- The link is saved to your Roblox account and follows your private server. If you open another minigame from the app, it moves to that one; only «Unlink» cuts it.
Your private server
On the game's Roblox page, «Servers» tab, create your private server (it's free) and join it. It connects by itself, today and every time after, and the bar at the bottom turns «Connected». With a server of your own, only you control the match.
How Galactic Race is played
The first ship to complete every lap wins:
- Chat joins by typing just their Roblox username (they fly with their avatar), with !join or with any gift, and shows up on the grid with their ship.
- You start the race with «Start race» on the panel or with the in-game button.
- Ships fly on their own. Sitting right behind another gives a draft, which keeps the pack together.
- Gifts launch abilities one at a time: the camera shows who fires first, then who gets hit.
- On the last lap the finish is shown in slow motion, and the top three jump onto the podium.
- The next race keeps those who show up during the podium and those who were waiting.
The race panel
«Open panel» takes you to the Galactic Race control room, with four tabs: Play, Triggers, Overlay and How to play it.
- Play: «Start race», «Next track», «Finish now» and «Next race», the pilot list and a launcher for actions by hand.
- Camera: automatic or following a pilot; abilities always cut to the sender and the target.
- In-game HUD: hide the parts the overlay already draws so they aren't shown twice.
- Session and all-time standings, and «Show full standings» to put the table in the middle of the screen for 10 seconds.
- Triggers: create the example profile, with !join to enter and a gift for each ability.
The overlays
On the Overlay tab you copy two URLs for your streaming software, OBS, TikTok LIVE Studio or Streamlabs:
- Race overlay: standings with each viewer's photo (Roblox can't show them), the hits and the minimap. Pick widescreen horizontal, widescreen in vertical or vertical, and whether names show or only faces.
- Podium overlay: who has won the most races, alternating the session top and the all-time top.
Step by step

FAQ
Do I need to install anything?
No. The minigames run on Roblox and link by themselves when you open them from the app; the app just sends the gifts through the cloud.
