Spanish indie publisher Blitworks (‎@BlitWorks) has confirmed that Slipstream from Brazilian solo developer Sandro Luiz de Paula (ANSDOR) will be launching April 7th on Xbox, PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch at a price of 9.99 USD | 8.99 EUR.

Slipstream has been in the making during 4 years by Brazilian solo developer Sandro Luiz de Paula (ansdor), who built his own custom game engine that recreates the sprite scaling graphic techniques used on 80s and 90s racing games to bring the real, authentic retro experience to modern hardware, taking advantage of the extra power to provide smooth, constant 60 FPS gameplay.

The combination of the colorful pixel art graphics with a soundtrack that draws from synth pop and jazz fusion influences by Stefan Moser, aka Effoharkay, sets the tone for a race across a variety of exotic locations from all around the world, including cities, deserts, forests, mountains and beaches. Drifting, rewinding and slipstreaming mechanics add depth to the driving gameplay, and the result is a strategic, challenging and exciting experience.
