Our take on Tanuki Sunset
The relaxed arcade focus gives up the broader systems associated with deeper racing games. Its progression stays centered on riding, tricks, collected bits, gear upgrades, and clothing rather than a wide range of racing mechanics.
What is Tanuki Sunset?
Tanuki Sunset is an arcade longboarding game about Tanuki, a raccoon trying to appear on the cover of FISH magazine.
Players ride through mountain ranges, city streets, and beaches on Sunset Island while drifting, avoiding cars and trucks, and navigating sharp corners. Tanuki can train to perform tricks such as jumping from ramps and riding backwards. Collected Tanuki Bits keep Tanuki fed and can be spent at Bob's Skate Shop to upgrade gear. Clothing is also part of the game. The presentation combines colorful retro visuals, music described as chill beats, simple-to-use controls, and an arcade format with a modern twist.
