Tanuki Sunset
Chase the neon horizon in Tanuki Sunset—drift sharp corners, perform stylish tricks, rescue Little Kit, and rack up massive combo scores downhill!
Overview
Tanuki Sunset is a stylish third-person downhill skating game where you play as Tanuki, a cool raccoon cruising on a longboard. Set against a vibrant synthwave backdrop of neon skies and glowing coastlines, the game blends arcade-style scoring with a relaxing yet energetic atmosphere.
Your objective is straightforward: ride downhill, master the curves, perform tricks, and achieve the highest score possible. While the aesthetic feels laid-back, the gameplay demands sharp reflexes, precise timing, and a willingness to take risks. Thanks to procedurally generated roads, every run offers a fresh and unpredictable experience.
Ride the Neon Downhill
You’ll carve through winding seaside highways filled with tight turns, moving traffic, and unexpected obstacles. Success depends not just on speed, but on style and control.
Drift around corners, execute 180-degree slides, launch off ramps, and skim dangerously close to cars to earn near-miss bonuses. The more daring your moves, the higher your combo multiplier climbs. Playing it safe may keep you upright, but bold maneuvers are the key to topping the leaderboard.
Collect Tanuki Bits along the road to fill your Bonus Roulette meter. Once it’s full, spin the roulette for a chance to earn a huge score boost.
Watch for special floating icons during your run:
- Ringing Phone – Answer it to receive a new objective.
- Baby Raccoon (Little Kit) – Rescue it to gain a companion on your ride.
- Floating Tape – Pass through it to instantly shift the music and visual style mid-run.
These elements add variety and keep each descent exciting and dynamic.
