Retro Triathlon

A pixel-art triathlon arcade game, playable right here. Swim, bike, and run across 8 real race locations — Kona to Norseman — against named rivals and the ghost of your own best run. Chiptune audio on, sound up.

Best on desktop with a keyboard. On mobile, rotate to landscape — touch controls switch on automatically.

How to play

  • Swim — alternate ←/→ in rhythm to build speed, ↑/↓ to steer, Space to kick
  • Bike — ←/→ to steer, ↑/↓ to shift gears (downshift on climbs!), Space to attack
  • Run — ↑ to jump, Space to sprint — save energy for the final stretch
  • T1/T2 — tap the gear in the right order before the clock runs out
  • 2P Versus — grab a friend: P1 on arrows + Space, P2 on WASD + Shift

What's in it

  • 8 world race locations with their own weather and mechanics
  • Daily seeded challenge with streaks, plus a weekly tour
  • Personal-best ghost racing and rubber-banded rivals
  • XP, achievements, and a skin locker — all saved in your browser
  • Optional CRT scanline filter for the full arcade feel

Built solo with Flutter and the Flame engine — every sprite is code-drawn pixel art and every sound is synthesized chiptune. Part of the projects I'm building in public; the making-of story lands on the blog.
