About Spectra

Spectra is a dynamic twitch racing game that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Blast your nimble ship down intricate ribbons of light in time to the dynamic beats and original soundtrack by chiptune artist legend Chipzel (Super Hexagon, Size Does Matter, Interstellaria).

Be prepared to get your heart pumping as you drift into a trance with just one objective- survive till the music stops! Navigate around obstacles, collect points whilst trying to drive with as much style as possible and stay on the road. As the player progresses through the levels, the speed increases requiring more advanced dexterity to survive!

Featuring two powerful gameplay modes (Normal and Hardcore) with 10 unique music tracks used to generate procedural levels, race against the beat to experience unlimited playthroughs! Staying sharp is essential and reaction timing vital as memory is obsolete with this nostalgia-driven, arcade-like game. Spectra is a veritable homage to arcade games of old; true mastery will require all your twitch skills and the beautiful retro-style graphics will have you just itching to dig up your Atari!

  • Exclusive soundtrack from chiptune legend Chipzel

tbh i got this game cuz chipzels music is great (thanks just shapes and beats for introducing me to it) but the game is actually pretty boring.

Spectra is simple. Move left and right to dodge the powerful obstacles..But what they don't tell is the finer nature of the game. The fun you can have drifting across the track, being fancy as you gain airtime off turns and even the ledge if you're daring enough. The way you start bouncing into the air if you get hit enough. And the amazing 8-bit chiptune music album by Chipzel has something for everyone. Every level is regenerated when you start from the menu, so you can quickly swap out a particular design if you don't like it. 10/10

This game plays like when I was first learning to ice skate. Only bought it for Chipzel's phenomenal soundtrack.

Love this game. Simple concept with great music makes me enjoy it so much. Not for everyone but if you love 8bit music you may love this.
Recommended Jan 3, 2023
A simplistic but fun arcade racer with a neat soundtrack and aesthetic - it's certainly nothing extraordinary but can be very relaxing and doesn't cost a lot of money.
Recommended Dec 26, 2020
So addictive. sad that this game is getting lots of hate.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
