About the Game

Synthwave Burnout is an arcade journey designed to give you an enjoyable visual and sound experience. The aesthetics of good old fiction, pleasant, uncomplicated supercar control gameplay - all this is created for you. Feel like you're inside your favorite 80s sci-fi movie!

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

Movement is life. In our case, the correct control of the supercar allows its unique generator to extract energy from the surrounding world.


CAPTURE A SOUND WAVE

When your supercar picks up the right speed and the wind blows in your face, you won't want to stop. It will be akin to anticipating the future - the sensations that cult films and music of the 80s evoke. You will soon realize that the soundtrack and the movement on the neon-flooded highway make up a single whole.


THREE THINGS YOU CAN LOOK AT ENDLESSLY:

How the fire burns, how the water flows and how you tame the futuristic road in your elite sports car - out of time and fuss, among the neon glare and synthwave sounds.


LIST OF GAME ELEMENTS:

  • 5 playable locations with varied gameplay
  • 80s neon atmosphere
