Synthwave Racers

One singular game developer built this game. From programming, to audio, to textures, models, level design. WOW, it's absolutely stunning and game developers like this just don't truly exist anymore. What an impressive feat. Also, such a fun game. I play online with my friends and tbh would rather play this than something like mario kart. It's a breath of fresh air. My friends and I are enjoying it. Well made game. BRAVO.

I real fun and simple arcade racer that you can lose hours to at a time if you aren't careful. I was a part of the demo/beta and the game is made by one dev who does everything. He is very responsive to feedback in his discord and friendly to boot.

Fantastic game with an addicting set of campaign levels that get increasingly challenging, that can easily suck you in for hours especially if you want to go for speedy track times. Figuring out the optimal paths and challenging yourself to get a diamond+ track rank was fun, I look forward to seeing track world records and racing other player's ghosts. Also a really fun online racing/battle modes with powerups, overall a super enjoyable game!

An Homage to the Gamecube Era (Pre-note: I rarely play PC games. Mostly just old retro games on my N64/GC/PS1, etc, and I have a Switch as well. I saw this trailer on YouTube, looked right up my ally, but saw it was only on Steam, which bummed me out. Seems like a good Switch title. Anyways, here we go...) Synthwave Racers made me feel like a kid playing games on my Gamecube again. Nostalgia meter has been refilled successfully! The amount of passion the developer put into this game is evident from the moment the game boots up. Even the splash screen has me reminiscing of those old Rare games where they used to have the logo spinning around as the game loads. The driving gameplay feels a bit different from other Kart games, but I actually prefer it over titles like Mario Kart / F-Zero. Shocked to feel that way from a one-man team. There is an extreme amount of precision provided to you with the drift mechanic. The drifting in this game is really, really responsive - something t...

Admittedly I haven’t played quite as long as I have wanted, but I do plan to play more. However, here are some of my initial thoughts: -Drifting is tight & responsive and feels quite rewarding -Pretty graphics & aesthetics with lots of customization -Replay system is pretty awesome -Online support (Something a lot of these smaller indie titles lack) -Nitrous feels slick and satisfying as do the powerups -Soundtrack is full of absolute bangers -I think the menus/navigation could use a bit of clearing up but that's a minor nitpick and one I'm hoping gets addressed in an update, shouldn't be a hard problem to fix? Overall it has more on offer than I expected and I was quite pleased with my time as the gameplay itself is fairly solid. Looking forward to playing more and am curious to see if there will be future updates.

SPEED BOOOOOST!! I love the tracks where you can keep max speed the whole time. Makes me feel like there's a bomb on my bike that will blow up if I make a Speed referen- I hope they add Garfield.

I accidentally deleted my long drawn out review cuz i'm tired and have to go to work in the morning but to sum it all up... A fun game, 10/10. Challenging, addicting, and smooth performance. Good for those who like racing. Better for those who like to get "wasted".

Wow. This isn't just a fun and challenging racing game with lots of clever game play elements. It's a journey through an incredibly detailed, textured, neon world--all to an epic synth soundtrack. Absolutely recommend!

Cool vibe and lots of fun little features. Solid racing game!

Pretty good.
