DAWN CAR

Описание

“Pixel art” is too soft a word!
This is the story of the Pre-Pixel Age…
A dazzling world built entirely from 8×8 character graphics—
the vibrant construction set of a Digital Tangram World.

From HUGA, creator of The Girl from Gunma Kai, comes a new title!
A chaotic 2D racing game that betrays all conventions,
scrolling in the wrong direction,
paying respect and homage to the legendary SHARP MZ-700.

About the Game

• The Madness of Reverse Scrolling
In DAWN CAR, you don’t drive forward—you drive downward.
Inspired by the bitter memory every early computer kid once had:
writing a BASIC racing game, only to discover it could scroll downward and nothing else.
That limitation is reborn here as pure gameplay.
Neither sideways nor into the horizon—the screen endlessly flows downward,
creating an uncanny sense of speed.

• 10+ Branching Stages
Like OutRun, the course splits into multiple routes,
leading you through Monaco, Suzuka, the ocean floor, and even outer space.
The most “realistic” racing game ever—like nothing you’ve seen before!

• The True Behavior of F1 Cars!
Faithfully “recreating” Formula 1 physics:
leap over rivers and lava with the jump button,
crush rival cars and wild beasts under your wheels,
and blast away dinosaurs and vampires with a mighty wave cannon.

• Realistic F1 Regulations!
The system also “faithfully” follows real F1 rules:
destroy enemy cars to gain fuel,
and reach the next checkpoint before you run out!

• The Aesthetics of Minimalism
All visuals are built from 8×8, 8-color tiles,
and the soundtrack is rendered in pure monophony.
From these restrictions emerges the essence of true game minimalism.

• A Childhood Memory, Reimagined
The title DAWN CAR comes from a middle-school friend’s game,
meant to be called DOWN CAR.
A simple spelling mistake gave it its name.
Now, infused with childhood memories and HUGA’s signature madness,
the dream has finally become real.
Ron—if you’re out there, how are you doing?

Dedicated to the memory of the SHARP MZ-700—
the dawn runner of the Pre-Pixel Age.
