I am looking for feedback on a game I created called Synthwave Road. I’m trying to figure out how to increase the playtime and replayability of my game. It started off as a sort of showcase, but I slowly started adding features like parkour, NPCs, a maze, a racetrack, and jump pads. I get some activity on my game when I advertise it for a 24-hour period, but after that, I maybe get one random visit every once in a while.
I’m not really a scripter, so I’m guessing that could be part of the reason for the lack of replayability. I’m worried about adding more features because my laptop starts to heat up after being in the game for more than three minutes. I’m considering just making a new game with a replay loop system like most trending games and seeing how that goes instead, but it wouldn’t feel very genuine.

I found the game on your profile and played it for a bit. I really like the aesthetic, especially the Poolrooms-esque section at the end of the obby.
There are lots of ways I think you could turn this into a game with more replayability. Making it into a vehicle racing game of some kind with dedicated tracks would be one option. I could also see it as a dedicated parkour game; if you wanted to ensure more replayability, you could add different courses or have players race to complete it the fastest. Alternatively, if you wanted to keep it more of a showcase and not have to do too much scripting, you could add a large quantity of new badges and market it as a badge hunt.
More specific suggestions after playing the game
- It isn’t clear how to go back to ground level after finishing the obby. There are some angles you can jump from the winners platform to hit the ground, but if you ever die, you’ll still respawn at the last obby checkpoint.
- You can use the rocket launcher to kill the NPCs.

Thank you for the feedback!
I will definitely try and polish the whole checkpoint system more and that badge hunt Idea sounds brilliant!
