Free to playRetrocycles Tron-like light cycle battles
Your bike never stops and its trail kills, so every turn is a bet. Retrocycles is a fast retro arena game of sharp right-angle turns, last-player-wins rounds and team modes, best with co-op friends online, in splitscreen for four, or against bots while you learn the lines.
Is Retrocycles worth it?
Retrocycles is worth it if…
- you like fast rounds with co-op friends where one wrong turn ends you
- you want team play like defending a zone while raiding the other one
- you enjoy simple controls with a high skill ceiling to chase
- you like splitscreen for up to four or big online servers

Never stop, never touch a trail
You ride a vehicle that keeps moving and leaves a deadly line behind it. In the basic mode you turn in sudden right angles inside a closed arena, and the last one alive wins. You cut across rivals, wall off space, and squeeze through gaps you just made. Rounds are short and restart fast, so a crash just sets up the next attempt at trapping someone else first.
Team forts and shrinking circles
Pick a server from the browser and stay there with the same group as long as you like. Fortress mode puts two teams against each other, each with a zone to defend while trying to take the other team's zone. Sumo mode keeps everyone inside a shrinking circle. Modded servers add racing, capture the flag, mazes and one odd server with rogue-like role-playing bits. Server owners can tweak speed, map size, trail length and even the strict turning rule.
Good to know?
Can you play it with co-op friends on one screen?
Yes. It supports splitscreen multiplayer for up to four players, plus offline single-player against bots if you want to practise turns and trapping before taking on a full server.
What do teams actually do in Fortress mode?
Each of the two teams owns a Fortress Zone. You defend your own zone while pushing into the other team's zone to conquer it, which makes positioning and timing matter as much as raw driving.
Can servers change the rules?
Yes, a lot. Speed, map size, trail length, timeouts and more can be adjusted, and even the right-angle turning rule can be bent. Custom maps are supported, though there is no editor included.
