Arcade Synthwave Racing Game

Drive, Chill, Complete Missions, Upgrade Cars, Buy Skins, Compete with Other Ghost Riders, and Earn the Title of Synthwave Champion!

General Concept

This isn’t a classic racing game. Midnight Racer aims to capture the spirit of old arcade games with a modern twist. You don’t compete with other players in real-time here. The main goal of the game is to put you in a trance-like state, allowing you to kill time and stop thinking about anything, no matter your mood.

To enhance your gaming experience, the game allows you to turn off the music while keeping the other sounds. This way, you’re encouraged to play your own music in the background. This game is best enjoyed with your favorite songs.

The game allows you to drive very fast cars, which will require significant skill to stay on track, as well as slower ones designed for a more relaxed experience.
To further support your choice of play style, Midnight Racer features a chill mode where there’s no time or score pressure. The tracks in this mode are also much easier.

Features

Drift! Become a drift master. To stay on track and achieve higher scores, drift your way to victory!

Time-Limited Gameplay with Time Extensions: Play within a set time limit, with opportunities to extend your playtime.

Synthwave Atmosphere: The entire game is crafted in a psychedelic synthwave/vaporwave style. Immerse yourself in the 80s vibe with a modern twist.

Shop: Purchase new cars. Each car has its own unique perks and different stats.

Quest System Tailored to Your Playstyle: You can choose the length of the quests you want to undertake, ensuring they fit your preferred style of play.

Achievement System: Your progress in the game is tracked, with every success rewarded with special prizes such as new skins, colors, or even cars!

Leaderboard: If you enjoy competition, there are 10 Ghost Riders for you to defeat, allowing you to earn better titles and their license plates.

Chillout Mode: Depending on your mood and preferred gameplay pace, you can opt for a game mode that slows things down, allowing you to relax with less demanding gameplay.

My Chillout Zone: Turn off the in-game music while keeping the sound effects, play your own music, and experience the game on your own terms.

Words from the Dev

Midnight Racer is my first game, and I actively work in the gaming industry. This title will always hold a special place in my heart as "the one where it all began." I’m certain that I’ll keep coming back to improve this game for many years to come.

That’s why I’m so grateful to you for visiting this page and reading the game’s description, even if you’re not interested in it! Remember, you are awesome! Have a wonderful day!
