A new look, new sound and simpler racing.
Download OutrunDhaka.exe and run it. It is a 2 MB file with the whole game inside. It opens in its own window (using Microsoft Edge, which ships with Windows 10 and 11; Chrome works too). Nothing to install. Or play in the browser: https://hal0mg.github.io/outrun-dhaka/
Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" notice because the file is not code-signed: choose More info, then Run anyway.
New look
- A hand-drawn, inked toon style: solid-colour buildings with lit windows, two-tone lighting, ink outlines, and each district in its own colour palette with deep, hazy distance
- New trees, people (who now actually walk), stalls, rickshaws, shop signs and billboards to match
- New Bangla lettering on the signs and plates
- No CRT scanlines or film grain by default (still in Settings)
New sound
- A new soundtrack: modern electronic music (future house, moombahton, melodic techno, UK garage, liquid drum & bass) on Bengali ragas, with tabla, bansuri and ektara; the menus have their own track
- Every car has its own engine: the Supra's twin-turbo six, the Skyline's RB26 with its blow-off flutter, the Miata's unboosted four, and more, with turbo spool, whistle and blow-off
- The streets are alive: horns, rickshaw bells, street sellers, dogs and shop radios around the road
- The car sits under the music instead of drowning it
Simpler racing
- Pick your car and colour on the race card before each race (the garage is gone)
- Fuel and coins are gone: it's about the line and the nitro
- The Run is a real race to the end: the leaders no longer wait for you
- Clickable buttons on every screen
Fixes
- The driver sits behind the steering wheel (right-hand drive, as in Bangladesh)
- Bright cars no longer glow at night
- No more engine drone on the title screen
