Tanuki Sunset
Tanuki Sunset is a third-person longboard-skating game where players play as a raccoon skating downhill on a procedurally generated synthwave-themed seaside road.
Drift your way around the narrow corners, gather Tanuki Bits to fill up your Bonus Roulette Meter and try and gather as many points as you can.
Drift often. Get some air-time and avoid cars and obstacles while pushing your luck close to the walls and edges to get near-miss moments and tight-squeezes to maximize your score.

This game is absolutely incredible! The quirkiness of the raccoon/tanuki, the great graphics, and the calming music. All I can say is good job squidsquad and thank you for this amaziing game. I hope you will continue developing this as well as other awesome games! :)
Hey guys, just wanted to say this is one of my favorite games to play right now and I've been having an absolute blast. I showed it to my buddy and we've been trying to outscore each other. Thanks for the fantastic game!
This is a very fun game and I like the original mode's music, but I wish there was a way to add your own playlist into the game. Also if possible could this game be ported to Steam anytime soon?
Hey! Thank you for playing! Adding your own tracks would be super cool. We're currently building a complete game out of it. We want to bring it to Steam and the Nintendo Switch if we can!
Hey so the Discord link doesn't work

i really love the games art style and music, idk if it was just me but i had difficulty getting my score past 1'000. Then again my rection time isnt too good
So interesting
nice game, nice graphics, love how the sun pulsates with the music.
:D
:D
Hey, great game. Love the visuals and soundtrack!
Thanks for playing!
I had a blast playing as a corn chip chewing raccoon long-boarding in Vapor Wave Land! Check out my review:

Thank you McGeeTV, for your super-thorough review! You guys basically nailed everything we had as a vision when we started with this project and put it into better words that we could say ourselves.
Best game I've ever played. 10/10
Wow thank you for your video! It means so much to us how much you fun you had with it. Please stay tuned, we are planning more things to come!
I play this game among others in my newest video:
Thanks!
Made a video
Thank you for the video Spudcats!
I love this game so much!! Once I got used to the controls it felt like butter to control. Big ups to whoever programmed the movement. I love the look and style, and the audio visualization going on with the sun. My one complaint is in the download version I can't type my name for highscores.
Thank you! The movement was adjusted a lot based on the feedback, so if anything it's thanks to you guys that the game feels better too :)
About the name entry, since we wanted the entire game to be playable using a controller, we decided to have keyboard input a secondary priority. Thank you for playing!
Having played on a controller now, this makes a lot of sense! It's definitely the ideal way to play. I love this game and hope y'all continue to add to it (the phone was a great addition btw). Either way I'll be following whatever y'all working on. Much love
Groovy. Sound and art style fit together perfectly.
Thanks for playing!
Love where this game is going guys! Nice aesthetic.
One small bug (i think) which you're likely already aware of - if I pause the game around the same time as a game over due to falling off happens and click retry, the muted state of the music doesn't switch back to normal upon starting to ride again.
Keep doing what you're doing!!
EDIT: After playing for hours longer (hooked), wanted to come back and say - awesome choice of music.
Thank you for reporting that bug, it should be all included in an update soon! Glad you're having fun with the game!
Hello
I came across your game in my recommended tab on itch.io and I really love the way your game looks. As a YouTuber, I would love to play your game on my channel, but only with your permission.
Have a nice day!
Kimmy ^.^
Hey Kimmy! Thanks for asking! Currently our game is free for you and anyone else to stream and monetize on YouTube, Twitch and Mixer. I hope you find the game fun, let us know if you have any feedback as well! Have a nice day ^^
Hello Squid Squad!
Thank you for getting back to me, and so quickly too! Also thank you for allowing me to make a recording of your game, I'll be sure to get the video done and uploaded in the next couple of days and I'll put a link to it for you.
really fun game u have going on here
HAha wow, pretty rad
Good game!
love this game so much love the new saving mechanic and hope there are more to come thanks.
10 / 10

YOOOO THIS GAME IS LIITTTTT!!!
This is very fun and cool as hell. Wish I could do more skate moves.
We plan to add many more in the future! :) Thanks for playing!
its fun to play on Radio mode, nice one guys.
So bizarre.
One of my favorite things to do in this game is travel as far as I can backwards. (its the very easy).
Super fun game, It gave me hard nostalgia vibes, but that's because I loved skateboarding games as a kid... and you can kinda pretend your rocket racoon on his day off, enjoying a nice longboarding session down some alien planet island. But anyways, that's my weird brain. I think the game is solid as it is,I would love to see more of it for sure!
Thanks for your video! We added a bunch of stuff that makes us nostalgic. Thanks for playing!
I'm glad you did, because that's what makes it really cool and hit me in that nostalgia too! I love it and really hope you're able to do more with it!
i tried for so long to do a 720. and the amount of satisfaction i got made my jaw drop. please don't stop updating lol
We plan to track those turning tricks soon! Hopefully it makes it even more rewarding!
Its very rare that an itch.io game would keep me coming back and have such satisfying and fun gameplay. Although I do hope you guys add more tricks that the player can do in the future and maybe some camera settings, but other than that you guys are AWESOME. PLEASE keep updating it.
There's a huge backlog of features, tricks, items and game modes that we want to bring to the game! I assure you we're working hard on them. Please look forward to the updates for sure! Thank you for playing!
Had a blast playing this game! Very much has the "just one more run!" itch that many games like these fail to maintain.
Thank you for your video, Elixir of Gaming! We noticed how difficult it was to pull off a 360 degrees trick on the ramps, so we might add a bit more turning-speed to make it easier. Thanks again for playing!
loved it!!!!!
Thank you for your video! We're glad you enjoyed it!
its really adictive. but an idea is to have a back button so i dont have to exit the gam e to change gamemode or options.
Noted. We saw plenty of people wanting to return to the main menu. We're adding that in an update very soon! Thanks for playing!
Aesthetic af.
Smooth af.
Cute af.
Good job af.
Question though, is the camera following in the Update function perhaps? I'm getting a bit of..jitter at times- the same kinda jitter I get when I update the position of the camera in Update instead of LateUpdate (I was in browser tho so 🤷♀️)
We noticed that jitter as well. However it's not always consistent. It appears to happen most likely on the WebGL version but it goes away after you lose a life. Thanks for noticing! We definitely have that on our radar! Thanks for playing!
This is really cool! I love the music!
One of my favourite part of development was choosing which songs to buy the licenses for. We would love to add more cool songs in the future!
Thanks for the response! I'm excited for any new songs you might add soon!
Raccoons. Skateboards. Mixtapes. Drifting.
What more could you ever want from a game?
This weeks Itch Dot Io Indie is a psychedelic mixtape fueled ride down an endless road and I love every moment of it!Rack up higher and higher scores as you collect cassettes, rock out to awesome newfound tunes, and of course cosplay as a rambunctious teenage Rocket Raccoon with a flair for punk.
If Arcade endless runners and a continual need to push yourself to higher and higher scores is your kind of thing then look no further <3
~Loki
Thank you so much for your video review Loki. Keep coming back, we're planning cool updates and new additions to the game soon!
I like the idea its a great game.
tip: replace some food becouse you know racoons like to steal food and the sounds are suitable :D
We definitely want to add more food to the game. We want to add a milkshake but we're not sure what to do with it yet. :)
OMG THIS GAME IS SO FUN everything feels right with the aesthetic
Thanks for playing!
This was surprisingly cool to play. I love when you pick up a new track.
Thank you for your video review! We had a lot of fun watching you experiencing the game. We're pushing new updates regularly so we hope you can tell us more of what you think! :)
Thank you for your video review! It would be a lot better if we included a simple tutorial. We're working hard on updating the game. we're glad you enjoyed Tanuki Sunset!
Here's my score/commentary --
I love, love this experience. Once I got how the drifts worked, I was off to the races. Do plan on leaderboard chasing to at least be published on it -- hard work.I do have one question, I noticed other palletes existed (like the green/orange hue) is that an option in game now or something for the future?
Thank you so much for covering our game! You are really good at the game, especially considering the version you reviewed was before we released a patch that made the game a little easier.
Also we noticed that the post-Processing stack that is in charge of the color palettes was not being compiled properly. We addressed that as well on the v1.2 release. Keep coming back, we're updating the game regularly with cool features!
Thanks again for your review!
