What is OutWave: Retro chase?

This single-player driving game takes place in Retro City, where police pursue you over a VHS tape you stole decades earlier. You steer cars or motorbikes through endless chases with automatic acceleration and no brakes, collecting money and repair pickups, dodging traffic, and using cash to unlock more vehicles.

For you if...

+you enjoy chasing high scores rather than finishing races
+you prefer straightforward controls over detailed driving simulation

Not for you if...

−you want relaxed driving without constant police pressure
−you expect multiple modes and maps to explore
