A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

8-Bit Emperor

A PICO-8 "de-make" of Black Emperor by Tomas Vicuna, the score attack racer inspired by 1970's Bōsōzoku motorcycle culture, 8-Bit Emperor is about racing down a treacherous track (procedurally generated each game launch) for as long as you can. 

High scores for the current course are displayed on a top 10 leaderboard. Resetting the cartridge regenerates the course and clears high scores.
