Midnight Drift

Midnight Drift (working title) is a high-speed retro racer inspired by the SNES era, rebuilt with modern polish. Using a classic Mode 7-style pseudo-3D engine, the game delivers that nostalgic “flat world turned into depth” effect — letting you tear through twisting circuits at night under neon skies.

Key Features

• Mode 7 Racing: Classic SNES-style pseudo-3D visuals, scaled and rotated for smooth, retro-authentic depth.

• Drift Mechanics: Build turbo by holding slides through corners; release for speed boosts or risk spinning out.

• Nitro System: A separate nitro gauge lets you unleash bursts of speed — but it won’t work while drifting, so timing is everything.

• Spin-outs & Recovery: Overcook a drift and you’ll spin across the track, losing precious time.

• Retro Meets Modern: Familiar pixel look, but smooth shaders, particles, and modern responsiveness.
