Hello fellow palm riders. Hope you enjoyed Episode 1. In case you don't know what episode 1 is, you can find it here: https://www.palmride.online/episode1.html The next episodes will be released... eventually... Now, let's get to the updates: New achievement There's a new achievement which was added to the game. However, it is hidden, so good luck achieving it (there are some hints in the game though).
Patches This game uses MonoGame, which is great for a pseudo-3d driving game. But, it is pretty terrible for dynamic sounds. So far, the music and the engine of the car were using dynamic sound effects. For the engine, this solution works relatively okay, but for music it's not a very good idea. I have changed the systems, and now, the music no longer uses dynamic sounds. This fixed the music stuttering and distortion problems. I think this fixed some crashes too, although I'm not 100% certain.
Now the music system is more stable, but the game may take a bit longer to load (1-2 seconds). Leaderboard Now, when you die in the Rad Guy game mode, you are presented with a small leaderboard before the end menu. This way you can see how good you were compared to the others. This feature was requested by you guys, and it made its way into the game.
What's next? First of all, we'll see if this update broke some things, and if it did, we'll fix them.
We'll then implement what is left on the to-do list. There are quite a few things you people have suggested, and some of them will make their way into the game really soon. Thank you!

Remember those arcade games you used to play when you were a child? PalmRide brings those vibes back.

So, what exactly is PalmRide?

PalmRide is a driving game heavily inspired by classic games and the modern Outrun aesthetics. It's all about driving and chilling out in a world where everything is retro. On your way you will find things like: reckless drivers, police cars, arcade machine robots, tunnels that trigger your epilepsy, hills, giant balls, and many more. There are tons of surprises waiting for you! Just download the game and hop into the car!



The world!

It's all about atmosphere, from "Future Funk" city streets, to "Outrun/Synthwave" mountains, to 80s retro beaches. PalmRide has it all, everything you need for some nostalgia rides into the night.
Each place you'll visit has its own unique mechanics and visuals, so just drive and enjoy the ride!



Play against others!

Got bored of driving alone? Play the RAD GUY gamemode and compete against other players! See how they played and try to beat them!
Climb to the top of the leaderboard, and show the world who the best driver is! Be the rad guy! duh.
