Arcade racing reborn: side-scrolling, pure zen, pure style. Much retro.

Arcade racing reborn: side-scrolling, pure zen, pure styleSide Whoop is an old-school arcade blast - they don’t make 'em like this anymore!Easy to pick up, tough to master. Its unique zen flow will keep you hooked for hours.Rip like a pro pilot and satisfy your nostalgia for the golden era of snowboarding and skating games.Beat the clock or go unlimited and thread as many hoops as you can chain - all with pure effortless cool.Various scenarios to explore, each run is a unique journey. Beautifully hand-crafted segments dynamically rearrange every go, offering endless variety.Different speed classes let you lock into your sweet spot and perfect rhythm.A word from the DevI made this game as a solo developer because I missed a certain kind of experience - games that impress with their easy accessibility, that let you jump straight in, fully immersed from the first moment.The motivation for this project comes from pure nostalgia - the feeling from back then, when games were simple, perfectly handcrafted and with complete absence of today’s industry slop.Side Whoop's core is all about flow. Controls being deliberately simple - smooth and slick movement that is perfectly complemented by the soundtrack.Heavily inspired by 90s arcade, skating, and snowboarding titles, it blends style, attitude, and confidence into every run. A game that’s meant to be felt, focused on the experience and without distractions or over-complications.This is the realization of a long-held dream after having worked for a decade in AAA and teaching game development. A chance to make something entirely on my own terms, without outside pressure shaping the design. Side Whoop is the culmination of a personal journey: leaving the industry, sharing what I know through teaching, and finally creating a game exactly the way I’ve always imagined it.I hope it feels like something you thought was lost - or never realized you were missing.
