Description
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
  • Various racing tracks
  • Stunning retrowave / synthwave soundtrack

So Disappointed

Not worrth the $0.95 I paid. My experince is as follows. Load up the game to find that it does not have full controller support and you have to use the mouse and keyboard on all menus. I tried to customize the controller mapping and it screwed up the whole thing; I had to go deep into the game files in the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder to find and delete the config folder to get it back to default. I get into the game to find that the car sound effects cannot be turned off at all, even if you turn them off in the menu. During the game play all you can hear is the car engine. I wanted to hear the music, in a game about music. It was very difficult to hear it. In the driving part of the game, it's rather chill, until it throws some sharp turns at you and if you hit the curb, you crash and have to start over. Out of the 19 minutes I played this game I spent 15 trying to fix the controlls and 4 min actually playing. Music is good though, if you can hear it.

Very cool dev build!

This is fun as is. Clearly a dev build though. Has ALOT of potential! Devs, please finish this, you've got something good going here!

Surprisingly unrelaxing

The basic flaw is simple: - Touching the curb is instant death. - The curb is invisible. So, there is no warning (on the road shoulders), no damage system ('lives'), just a complete reset if you drift from the centre of the road. One can't drive with precision because it is too high risk, and one can't chill.

Well, nope.

I'm a sucker for a good synthwave themes and was pretty excited to see this game. I have played it for a couple of minutes and I regret purchasing. First of all, after selecting New Game, it loads for so long, I was pretty sure it froze and I'd need to reboot my pretty decent PC. Then you are suddenly on the street next to the car, you can enter through to both front and back seats (why???). Inverted mouse view was a little painfull, but well, that's life, I'm here for a ride. Oh boy, the ride. As soon as you cross the invisible edge line, it's over. Game does not play any games, you either are here to win, to drive slowly and follow the line, or be prepared for a lot of "OMG WHY????". What's the worst of all, it's just boring. The setup is not sophisticated enough to tingle my synthwave sensors, it looks like a never finished sketch of a project.The music is OK tho'.

Cool futuristic game

This is the game, combining the fantastic graphics, great music and difficult driving physics. Right from the beginning, I kept come off the track over and over again. You just have to reduce speed your car when you hit a turn and when you are going straight you can accelerate.
