A blazing pseudo-3D arcade racer — outrun the traffic.
Use the left/right arrow keys (or A/D) to steer, up/down to accelerate and brake.
Avoid the other cars and the road edges.
Retro Racer is a fast, pseudo-3D arcade racing game inspired by the classic OutRun. Weave through traffic on a scrolling highway, dodge cars and the road edges, and chase your best distance. Lightweight, smooth and instantly playable. It is aimed at players aged 8+ and up, and a typical round takes around 5 minutes. If you already enjoy arcade, Racing and Retro games, you will feel at home here within seconds.
