Roll into the world of Acid Drop, a side-scrolling runner inspired by classic 80s arcade titles. Play as an iconic inline skater and glide, grind, and dodge your way down the highway of a sugary sweet retro-futuristic city. One wrong move can mean game over, so razor-sharp reflexes are a must. Can you survive the speed?

Fun!  I love the art and chiptune music.  I've only gotten passed Level 1 so far but I'm working on getting to the end!
