Retrocycles

Retrocycles is a vehicle game focused on online play. You ride a vehicle that cannot stop and leaves a deadly trail behind it. In the basic mode, you can make only sudden right-angle turns and try to outlast other players in an inescapable arena.

Game modes

The game includes four built-in modes: Last Man Standing, Last Team Standing, Fortress and Sumo. In Fortress, two teams defend their own Fortress Zone while trying to capture the opposing team's. In Sumo, players must stay inside a shrinking circle to survive. Online, modded servers also offer Racing, Capture the Flag and Mazes, as well as one server with rogue-like RPG elements. Some modes set objectives beyond simply being the last survivor.

Online play

You can choose a server from the server browser and keep playing there with the same people for as long as you like. Each server supports at least 16 players, and servers can offer more slots. The game also supports offline single-player against bots and split-screen multiplayer for up to four players.

Maps and settings

Retrocycles supports custom maps, though it has no map editor. Gameplay variables can be adjusted, including speed, map size, trail length and timeouts; even the right-angle turn rule can be changed. You can also customize the keyboard layout.
