ChromeDome: PSX Arena Bike Combat

What Is This

A post-nuclear gladiator sport. Nineteen riders, each with a past, a reputation, and a weaponized signature ability, strapped to momentum-driven bikes inside enclosed arenas. Short rounds. Lethal stakes. When a rider goes down, their chassis bursts into dithered shrapnel. No loadouts. No meta. Just momentum and timing.

Fourteen game modes across nine arenas. A four-chapter campaign that drags a rookie from transponder code to sponsor favorite. Solo play against AI or local multiplayer. Procedural audio, dynamic systems. No microtransactions. No hand-holding. Drive or die.

Core Features

⚙

Momentum Combat

No stopping. No camping. Speed is your weapon, and the thing that kills you. Drift into turns, boost off ramps, ram into enemies.

★

PSX Aesthetic

Vertex snapping, affine textures, 5-bit color depth, dithered shadows. Authentic retro crunch on every surface.

⚔

19 Unique Riders

Each with their own backstory, stats, and signature ability. Shockwaves, decoys, lock-on missiles, gravity wells, hooks, mirages, and more.

⚡

Arena Hazards

Lava pits, crushing pistons, flame jets, springboards, death pits, falling bridges. The arena wants you dead as much as the other riders do.
