Tanuki Sunset is an arcade-style downhill skating game where players guide a raccoon through winding roads on a longboard. The objective is to stay on track while collecting points, drifting through turns, and avoiding traffic and barriers. The controls are responsive and focused on movement and balance, requiring players to adjust their speed and direction constantly. Drifts and near-miss bonuses encourage risky moves, rewarding players who take calculated chances to maximize their score.

Environments, Obstacles, and Flow

The game takes place across stylized locations including coastal highways, urban streets, and neon-lit sections that change as the player progresses. Each area introduces new layout challenges such as tighter turns, narrow lanes, and more frequent obstacles. Players collect floating items while navigating the curves and ramps, aiming to maintain combo chains and extend their score. The continuous downhill motion creates a sense of forward momentum that demands constant attention and reflexes.

Visual Design and Sound Integration

Tanuki Sunset features a colorful, low-poly art style with bold lighting and smooth animations. The mix of saturated skies, glowing objects, and soft shadows gives each run a distinct visual rhythm. Music plays a central role, with synth-heavy tracks that match the tempo of gameplay and influence the pacing of runs. The combination of motion, sound, and visual simplicity makes the game feel cohesive and fluid, offering a relaxing but skill-based skating experience that’s easy to replay.
