Floor it through neon-soaked highways in the ultimate 80s-style arcade racer! Dodge traffic, manage your battery, and chase high scores in Retro Driving — the retro racing game built for fast reflexes and one-more-run addiction. YOUR BATTERY IS TICKING Every second drains your charge a little faster, and the further you drive, the quicker it runs out. Grab charge pickups to stay alive — or watch your ride shut down mid-highway. How far can you push it? A GARAGE FULL OF PERSONALITY From sleek sports cars to heavy-duty retro trucks, unlock and drive a growing collection of vehicles — each with its own look, feel, and color variant. COLLECT COINS, CHASE HIGH SCORES Snag coin pickups as you drive — Bitcoin (50 pts), Ethereum (25 pts), Ripple (10 pts) — to boost your score and unlock new cars in the garage. (These are cosmetic in-game point labels only — see note below.) UNLOCK ACHIEVEMENTS Track your progress across dozens of achievements, from perfect dodges to marathon drives, and earn rewards as you go. A LIVING, CHANGING ROAD Six full synthwave tracks rotate as you play, so the soundtrack never gets old — and every so often the sky shifts with a passing rain shower or a burst of sunshine, keeping every run a little different. PLAY YOUR WAY • Tilt to steer or tap to dodge — pick your control style • Smooth 60fps neon visuals on iPhone and iPad • Perfect for a quick session or a long high-score run COMPETE ON GAME CENTER Climb the global leaderboard and see how your best run stacks up against the world. WHY PLAYERS KEEP COMING BACK • Addictive "just one more run" arcade gameplay • Gorgeous retro-futuristic visuals and tight controls • Rising difficulty that always keeps you on edge • No ads, no in-app purchases — just get in and drive • Simple, clean, family-friendly fun for all ages COMING SOON New race environments are already in the works — this is just the start of the ride. Note: In-game pickups named "Ripple," "Ethereum," and "Bitcoin" are cosmetic point labels only and do not involve real cryptocurrency. Coins are an in-game virtual currency earned by playing, spendable only on unlocking cars — they have no real-world value, cannot be purchased, and cannot be cashed out.
Shark Catch

Shark Catch is a lighthearted arcade game where you play as a sushi-loving shark! Your goal is simple: chomp down on as much sushi as you can—but beware! Trash is mixed in with the food, and eating it will cost you. On top of that, ships passing by can give you a painful bump on the head if you’re not careful. The challenge lies in timing: you don’t swim around, you simply choose whether to open your jaws for sushi or keep your mouth shut to avoid the bad stuff. Stack up your sushi score, stay sharp against the dangers, and unlock fun skins to give your shark a stylish new look. Can you become the ultimate sushi shark?
