Side Whoop

Arcade racing reborn: side-scrolling, pure zen, pure style

Side Whoop is an old-school arcade blast - they don’t make 'em like this anymore!

Easy to pick up, tough to master. Its unique zen flow will keep you hooked for hours.

Rip like a pro pilot and satisfy your nostalgia for the golden era of snowboarding and skating games.

Beat the clock or go unlimited and thread as many hoops as you can chain - all with pure effortless cool.

Various scenarios to explore, each run is a unique journey. Beautifully hand-crafted segments dynamically rearrange every go, offering endless variety.

Different speed classes let you lock into your sweet spot and perfect rhythm.

A word from the Dev

I made this game as a solo developer because I missed a certain kind of experience - games that draw you in with their easy accessibility, let you jump straight in, fully immersed from the first moment.

The motivation comes from pure nostalgia - the feeling from back then, when games were simple, perfectly handcrafted and with complete absence of today’s industry slop.

Side Whoop's core is all about flow. Controls being deliberately simple - smooth and slick movement that is perfectly complemented by the soundtrack.

Heavily inspired by 90s arcade, skating, and snowboarding titles, it blends style, attitude, and confidence into every run.

A game that’s meant to be felt, focused on the experience and without distractions or over-complications.

This is the realization of a long-held dream after having worked for a decade in AAA and teaching game development. A chance to make something entirely on my own terms, without outside pressure shaping the design.

Side Whoop is the culmination of a personal journey, finally creating a game exactly the way I’ve always imagined it.

I hope it feels like something you thought was lost - or never realized you were missing.
