New game: Gridburn — Tron-style light-cycle duels, online

Gridburn is live — light-cycle duels in the classic Tron lineage, dressed in neon synthwave: glowing cyan-versus-orange trails, a dark grid arena, CRT scanlines and a striped retro sun. Burn a wall of light behind you, box in your rival, and be the last one riding.

Gridburn — Tron-style light-cycle duels

Real online multiplayer

This is our first real-time online game. Create a room, share the 4-character code — or just send the invite link, which drops your friend straight into the room with one tap. You each ride from your own phone, tablet or computer, and both screens stay perfectly in sync. Best of 5 rounds, rematch in the same room, no account and no app.

Three AI brains

No one around to duel? The AI comes in three genuinely different flavors: Easy never plans ahead and boxes itself in, Medium plays for open space, and Hard plays territory — it doesn't just survive, it actively cuts you off. There's also 2-player local on one keyboard (or two gamepads) and a solo survival mode with a global leaderboard.

Plays like an arcade cabinet

Synthesized retro-synth sound (engine hum that follows your cycle in stereo, crash booms, round stingers), full keyboard and gamepad support — D-pad steers, A selects, B backs out — plus touch steering on mobile. And of course: 31 trophies, from your first crash all the way to the Neon Legend platinum.
