Play Sunset Mile

Red convertible, coast road, 38 seconds on the clock.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Thirty-eight seconds on the clock, a red convertible with two riders, and a sunny coastal highway full of traffic. Sunset Mile is an arcade racer in the Roam app on iPhone where you weave between cars at speed to reach each checkpoint before the timer runs out. Six checkpoints stand between you and the end of the road. It is built for anyone hunting for games like OutRun: no garage, no menus, just the drive.

Steering and the clock

Drag the stick on the left to steer between lanes.
Tap the gear-shift button to change gear and keep your speed up.
Pass through a checkpoint to add time to the clock.
Reach all 6 checkpoints before the timer hits zero.

What makes the drive

A 3D convertible with a driver and passenger, top down.
A multi-lane highway with traffic to thread through.
A Mediterranean town and the sea along the road.
A speedometer in mph and a score for clean runs.

Games like OutRun, made for one thumb

OutRun put a convertible on a sunny road in 1986 and made a time limit feel like freedom. Sunset Mile keeps the parts that made it a classic: the red car, the coastal scenery, the traffic and the checkpoint timer.

What changes is the screen. Steering sits under your left thumb, and one gear button replaces the arcade stick shift. A run is short enough to replay right away.

Tips for beating the clock

Speed is time, so avoid contact with traffic. A small tap on another car costs more than a slightly wider line. Look ahead for gaps rather than reacting to the car right in front of you. Keep the gear up on straights, and save sharp moves for when the road is full.

Every run also gives a score, so even when you miss the last checkpoint you have a number to beat next time. The sea and the white town on the right make the drive easy on the eyes while you push for it.
