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.

Hyper Tower A simple rule, endless excitement: Release the block swinging on the pendulum at precisely the right moment, and the tower will rise floor by floor! The block swings, you touch it, the block falls and lands on top of the tower. The more aligned you release it, the less it is clipped. With perfect releases, the block doesn't shrink, it even grows! One wrong move can ruin everything. How good are your reflexes and timing? GAMEPLAY - Play with one touch: easy for everyone, difficult to master - Release aligned, protect the block; The blocks get thinner as you slide - Make combos with perfect drops one after another and enlarge the blocks - The pendulum speeds up as the tower rises, the wind takes over A CHANGING WORLD AS YOU RISE - As the tower climbs higher, the sky darkens, stars and planets appear - Atmospheric space theme makes every climb a visual feast COIN ECONOMY AND POWER-UPS - Catch golden blocks, earn coins - Buy power-ups with coins: Slow Down - slow down the pendulum to make the perfect drop easier Block Enlargement - rotate the tower top to full width - Continue with coins when the game ends, push your record even higher - Continue with coins when the game ends, push your record even higher RECORDS AND MILESTONES - Special rewards on the 10th, 25th, 50th, and 100th floors - Break the best floor record, surpass yourself PROFESSIONAL SOUND AND FEELING - Satisfying sound effects with every perfect release - Melodies that escalate as the combo rises - Separate background music for the menu and gameplay (turn on/off in settings) WHY PENDULUM TOWER? - Fast gameplay loop without ad breaks - No waiting: open, tap, play - No internet required, completely offline playable - Small size, smooth performance How high can you take the tower?
