Tanuki Sunset

Tanuki Sunset is a glorious downhill longboarding experience wrapped in the nostalgic neon glow of the synthwave aesthetic. You are a super-cool Tanuki, blasting down twisty roads, dodging heavy traffic, and pulling off smoking-hot drifts to build up a big high score.

What makes Tanuki Sunset so compelling?

High-speed downhill action: Test your reflexes to the utmost on endless slopes cutting through the metropolis, full of hairpin twists and frequent traffic.

Carving is an art: more than just turning. You can chain score multipliers together, keep your traction, and that’s when you have mastered the art of the drift.

Tanuki Bits system: Energy shards distributed along the path. Get enough of them and a surprise-laden Bonus Roulette mechanic kicks in.

High risk, high reward: The more audacious your airborne antics or close misses with oncoming vehicles, the bigger the point rewards.

Synthwave sunset aesthetic: Immerse yourself in a vibrant neon pink-and-purple atmosphere set to a rhythmic, retro electronic soundtrack.

Guide to Mastering the Slopes & Chasing Records

Start your drift early

Downhill longboarding generates immense momentum. If you wait until the last second to brake before a turn, your board will fly straight off the cliff. Hold down the Space bar and initiate your turn before you actually reach the curve to maintain a smooth, safe trajectory.

Keep your eyes up

Don't stare at your wheels. Shift your gaze to the top of the screen to anticipate traffic conditions and the road layout. This allows you to plan a path through narrow gaps between vehicles.

Make the most of Tanuki Bits and the Bonus Roulette

Point accumulation will be slow if you overlook the small collectibles. Aim to gather 20 Tanuki Bits to trigger the Bonus Roulette—this is the most crucial score booster for setting new records.

The mission to rescue baby Kit

Along the way, you may encounter a small panda cub named Kit. Gliding directly beneath Kit allows your character to grab him. Hold your course and safely return Kit to his mother at the end of the run to unlock a massive, incredible score bonus.
