    Track based on the synthwave/outrun aesthetic. Only compatible with RVGL.

    I initially wanted to do a more complex level but I felt a simple fast track fit the theme more.

    Music is 'Perturbator's Theme' by Perturbator

    I hope you enjoy it!

  1. The overall (visual) idea behind this track is good, but the graphics are made in a way so it’s very uncomfortable to play it.

    The pattern on the raceline is causing very fast flickering and very fast changes in contrast (dark/bright), and therefor the track should be avoided by people who are sensitive for such things.

    I didn‘t knew I am sensitive for this things until I played this track for the first time. I got a VERY strange feeling inside my brain and it felt like I’m getting sick / insane. I had to stop, and I don‘t know what would have happened when I would have continued. After some weeks I tried it again, and the same happened again.

    After this experience I informed myself about it. The mentioned phenomenon is called „Flicker Vertigo“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_vertigo and it can also cause epilepsy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosensitive_epilepsy

    Changing the raceline texture to another one could avoid (at least reduce) this effect, but the author didn‘t reacted to requests so far.
