After Tanuki Sunset: The Drift, Stunt, Tunnel and Parking Games on This Site
Published · 1 min read
Drifters first
Drift Boss and Turn Right are the closest cousins: both are one-button games where the whole skill is timing a slide, and both punish greed on the exit exactly as Tanuki Sunset does. Driftwave is the pixel-art take with proper lap times, and Highway Traffic and Infinite 8 are the traffic-dodging end of the shelf.
Bikes and stunts
Moto X3M and its winter sequel are the dirt-bike trials: flips shave time off the clock and a bad landing costs a checkpoint. Stunt Simulator Multiplayer and Flying Car Simulator are the sandbox options with an open map and a garage, and Battle Wheels is 2D car combat for when you want to hit something on purpose.
Tunnels
Tunnel Rush, Super Tunnel Rush and Slope Tunnel share one idea: a tube, an ever-rising speed, and left-and-right as the only controls. They are the fastest games here to load and the fastest to lose.
Parking and trucking
Parking Fury 3D, Parkmania and Car Parking School are the slow-and-precise counterweight, and 18 Wheeler Cargo Simulator 2 adds a trailer to the problem. If a run of Tanuki Sunset has your hands shaking, a parking level settles them.
Platform detours
OvO 2, Rainbow Obby, Duck Life 2, Bloxorz and My Pony My Little Race are here for a change of pace; none of them is a driving game, all of them are short, and Bloxorz in particular is a good ten minutes of thinking after an hour of reacting.
