PSYCHO listens to any song, reads its rhythm and energy, then builds a<br>complete psychedelic roller coaster around it. No two rides feel the same.

Quiet passages climb. Intense sections dive. Spectrum and rhythm shape turns, tunnels, traffic, gates, and color.

One songOne lap

Song-shaped world<br>A real cached 3D course

Curves, banking, height, speed, and the chase camera follow one complete centerline built from your song.

×2<br>Arcade scoring<br>Chains and overdrive

Collect matching colors, protect your streak, repair shields, and catch gold for invulnerable double-score runs.

Ghost signal<br>Your echoes can steer

Overdrive leaves luminous ship echoes behind. Somewhere deeper in the signal, one of them learned to drive.

Full-course HUD<br>See the music ahead

Cycle between a height profile, top-down route, minimal map, or no HUD at all when you want pure flow.

L/R<br>Headphone mode<br>Optional binaural motion

A subtle stereo effect follows musical energy. Toggle it live and dial the amount to taste.

2M<br>Tiny and native<br>Almost floppy-sized

Written in Odin with raylib, PSYCHO ships as a remarkably small native binary with no launcher attached.
