What it is
Road Rash is a browser-based motorcycle racing game inspired by the classic PC game of the same name. It is built with Three.js and focuses on racing while knocking opponents off their bikes.
From the developer
In the developer’s own words, from roadrash.pages.dev.
Road Rash was one of my favourite PC games growing up. I wanted to play it again, but the browser emulators I tried felt sluggish, so I decided to build a browser version using Three.js. This started mostly out of nostalgia. I wanted to be able to open a link and get back to racing and knocking people off their bikes.
Editor takes
“The racing-and-punching loop is all there, but I need tighter bike handling and clearer hit feedback before I call it truly responsive.”
“Great as a link-and-go nostalgia hit for a coffee break — I just hope it plays on my phone and doesn't lose my run when I close the tab.”
“A slick little Three.js tribute that nails the core fantasy of Road Rash with minimal scope; a bit more juice and crash impact would make it feel fully polished.”
How to play
Open the link in a browser to start racing. Use the in-game controls to steer your motorcycle, accelerate, and attack nearby rivals as you race along the road.
Tips
- Keep your speed up in straight sections to stay ahead, but brake early for sharp turns.
- Attack opponents when you are close enough, but leave yourself room to recover if you miss.
- Watch the road ahead so you are not caught off guard by curves or other riders.
- Balance aggression with survival: knocking out rivals is useful, but crashing costs you time.
