Drop into Tanuki Sunset today, carve neon coastlines, chase high scores, master stylish drifts, and ride the synthwave dream into glory!
Tanuki Sunset is a stylish third-person downhill longboarding game where you control Tanuki, a laid-back raccoon cruising along a glowing synthwave coastline. With vibrant sunsets, palm-lined highways, and retro-inspired visuals, every run feels like a music video straight out of the 1980s.
Ride, Drift, and Dominate
Your objective is simple: ride as far as possible and earn the highest score you can — all while staying effortlessly cool. You begin at the top of a winding seaside highway and gradually pick up speed as you descend. The real challenge lies in maintaining control while maximizing your points.
You earn points by:
- Drifting smoothly around tight corners
- Performing stylish 180-degree slides
- Catching air off ramps
- Riding close to walls and vehicles for near-miss bonuses
- Collecting Tanuki Bits along the road
As you rack up points, your Bonus Roulette meter fills. Once full, you can spin for extra rewards, adding an exciting risk-and-reward element to every run.
During your ride, you may encounter special floating icons:
- Ringing phone – Accept new objectives mid-run
- Baby raccoon on a balloon – Rescue it to gain a small companion
- Floating tape – Ride through it to dramatically shift the music and visual style
