A downloadable game for Windows and Android

Submitted to GMTK 2025 for the theme LOOP 
Outrun an endless cyber chase in TapAway: a high-speed, low-poly survival racer.

You’re the fugitive. No brakes, no boosts, no upgrades, just pure reflexes! Tap rapidly to accelerate along a looping neon highway while dodging incoming traps, projectiles, and the relentless police!

Every few seconds, a helicopter drops new hazards. If you're fast and sharp, the cops might crash into their own tech. If you're faster, you might even get behind them and flip the tables.

Inspired by good old Slot car toys :) If you find the game too hard, combine W + space to get a speed boost!

How to Play:

  • W or Spacebar = TAP REALLY FREAKING FAST AT THE START

  • Left Shift / Right Shift = Change lanes

  • Dodge EMP traps (from the front) and projectiles (from behind)

  • Outlast the chase - it gets harder the longer you survive. 

It’s not about winning , it’s about lasting longer than the pigs!

Hi! I tried playing your game on my stream and really struggled withiit, but I can see it being alot of fun. I loved the concept but had to give up on it due to my hand cramping lol. I still thought I'd give you the footage/feedback/qa if it interests you. Looking forward to what you make in future!

oh hey! thanks for trying my game : )  I'm sorry to make you suffer like that 😂 But you did mash!!!
You should give it another go, we've update and balanced it! 

If I do a follow up video on my GMTK experience, I'll be sure to play it with the update before I talk about it lol, keep it up!
