About Riff Racer
Riff Racer brings a fresh twist to music gaming. FOAM’s innovative MEGA engine takes any piece of audio and analyses it down to its core components and creates a unique stunt filled racing experience from it.
Not a rhythm game, but a challenging arcade racer where you race the song itself and score for how well you stay in Sync.
Action on track is synced to the audio – players literally have to race the music to stay in time and score points.
Verses, choruses and drops become checkpoints, and the environment, colours and cars are styled to the genre of music you’re playing.
Experiment with your music collection and find out which songs make the best racetracks!
Score big for staying in sync, whilst performing stunts, jumps, drifts and rolls!
