Audio-reactive puzzle racer // Odin + raylib
Your music. The track.
PSYCHO listens to any song, reads its rhythm and energy, then builds a complete psychedelic roller coaster around it. No two rides feel the same.
5 native builds
~2 MB binary
Your audio stays local
A song becomes somewhere you can drive.
PSYCHO does not paste a waveform under a car. It composes a cached 3D course whose shape, speed, traffic, and mood come from the music.
Build its geometry
Quiet passages climb. Intense sections dive. Spectrum and rhythm shape turns, tunnels, traffic, gates, and color.
Learn the song's shape
Steer one closed-loop course, chase chains and boosts, dodge hazards, and reach the final note.
Cool climbs. Hot drops. Strange little roads.
The course is generated up front, so you can see where the music has been—and where it is about to throw you.
Built for flow, ghosts, and one more run.
Small native code. Big reactive systems. Enough secrets to make the road feel alive.
A real cached 3D course
Curves, banking, height, speed, and the chase camera follow one complete centerline built from your song.
Chains and overdrive
Collect matching colors, protect your streak, repair shields, and catch gold for invulnerable double-score runs.
Your echoes can steer
Overdrive leaves luminous ship echoes behind. Somewhere deeper in the signal, one of them learned to drive.
See the music ahead
Cycle between a height profile, top-down route, minimal map, or no HUD at all when you want pure flow.
Optional binaural motion
A subtle stereo effect follows musical energy. Toggle it live and dial the amount to taste.
Almost floppy-sized
Written in Odin with raylib, PSYCHO ships as a remarkably small native binary with no launcher attached.
Pick a machine. Bring a song.
Download the latest release. Your music is analyzed locally and never leaves your computer.
No account // no launcher
