Description
Hit the Retro Highway and return to the days of blast processing and pure arcade fun! Retro Highway is a throwback game aiming to combine the accessibility of modern titles with the high-skill challenge and charming aesthetics of old.
History
Retro Highway was developed by Gearhead Games, a tiny international company by Nicolai Danielsen in collaboration with Constantine Berg. They met on TIGForums and teamed up for a ‘quick collab’ which subsequently turned into their longest development endeavor so far. Even though some people may tell them that they’re doing a good job, they actually have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

- Jared Nelson, Touch Arcade - "Retro Highway is a really fun endless high score racing game that manages to feel like the retro arcade games I grew up with mixed in with a dash of modern mobile masterpieces."
