About Tanuki Sunset
Tanuki Sunset is a third-person longboard game starring a raccoon carving down a synthwave seaside highway. Procedurally generated downhill roads mean no two runs repeat: drift through narrow corners, thread between midnight traffic, and hop off ramps for airtime while the retro soundtrack does the heavy lifting for your vibe.
Scoring revolves around style. Drifting fills your combo, near-misses and flips multiply it, and Tanuki Bits collected along the road top up your score pool — get hit and you lose a chunk of what you are carrying, so greed and route choice are real decisions. The handling is drift-first: the board wants to slide, and learning to live inside the slide is the whole skill tree.
Runs in any modern browser with no download — WASD or arrow keys plus mouse or space to drift on desktop, touch controls on mobile. It is the rare high-score chaser that feels just as good in a three-minute break as it does in a three-hour session.
How to play
| Desktop | WASD or arrow keys to steer and carve, space or mouse buttons to drift, tab for pause and options. |
|---|---|
| Mobile | Touch steering with an on-screen drift button; the run layout adapts to landscape screens. |
Tips & tricks
- Drift before the corner, not during it. Initiating the slide early sets a wider, faster line through the apex.
- Near-misses with cars pay out big, but only bank combo points when the road ahead is clear — greed causes the losses.
- Ramps are score multipliers: a flip mid-air is worth more than the straight line you sacrificed to hit it.
- When your carried Tanuki Bits get large, play one conservative run to bank them; one crash can wipe a great run.
