The idea

A 1980s-inspired vertical arcade driver: an original red wedge-shaped sports car on a neon coastal road. No licensed cars or branding.

Implemented & tested

  • Single-thumb steering.
  • Dodging oncoming traffic as the core loop.
  • Neon retro presentation.

On the roadmap (not shipped)

  • Motorbikes, oil hazards, erratic drivers and fuel/road challenges are design goals being built out and tuned across the stages.

Known issues

  • Hazard variety and difficulty curve are still being balanced.

What's next

  • Expand hazards and tune stage pacing.
