Synth Cycles
A downloadable game for Windows
[MADE FOR 'DEVELOP TO HELP UKRAINE' WEEK-LONG CHARITY GAMEJAM]
This is a cooperative multiplayer racing game where you and your teammates must work together to reach the end of the race in the shortest time possible. As well as pedalling normally, which uses a lot of stamina, you can boost while near another player, and can cycle behind another player in order to reduce drag and reduce the stamina used each time you pedal.
Your goal is to make sure that everyone passes the finish line as quickly as possible, as the race only ends when the last person finishes!
This game is currently only playable in online multiplayer.
