RetroRapid!

Three lanes. Rising speed. One more run.

macOS

RetroRapid! brings back the charm of classic LCD handhelds from the late '80s and early '90s. Steer left or right, dodge traffic, and chase a high score as the road gets faster. Every overtake counts; one crash ends the run. Built natively for Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and Mac, RetroRapid! fits wherever you play. Use taps, swipes, a keyboard, the Digital Crown, or a supported controller, while Game Center leaderboards, achievements, and friend markers give you another score to chase.

Unexpectedly released with love ❤️ from the ARCtic conference in Oulu, Finland. Thanks to everyone that played the game and encouraged me to push the button.
