Razortron 2000 Weave through neon traffic

The loop is simple and it does not pretend otherwise. You drive up an endless, procedurally generated highway, dodge oncoming traffic, steer clear of the side barriers and drive over fuel strips before the tank empties. Only overtaken cars score, and the closer you shave past one, the more points it pays. Keep your foot down to hold the combo, because lifting off the accelerator resets it, all the way up to a x9 multiplier. So every run becomes a small argument with yourself: play it safe and score little, or thread the needle at full speed and hope your reflexes keep up. A few minutes per run, and the highscore screen does the rest.

You start with one car and unlock the rest by reaching new levels, ten in total, each with its own specs. Some are slower and steadier, good for learning the road; the fast ones demand the kind of reactions that only survive at full throttle. The neat part: each car changes the palette of the entire game, so the track, the interface and the whole neon look shift color with your garage. Add power-ups scattered on the road that grant short bursts of speed, fuel or collision resistance, and the runs keep varying. It is a small, honest arcade game that knows exactly how big it wants to be.
