Hi, developer here. We've been working on this since August, but the idea dates back a few years. We really loved the early nineties game Skyroads and played it extensively at the time, and it was a sign for us to discover that it was made in Estonia, the very same place where we established our team in 2013. Nirvana Pilot Yume is also an experiment of mixing two different genres: space races and visual novels with a '80s anime style. To complete the recipe and exhalt those retro atmospheres, a synthwave soundtrack by the hungarian band Retröxx. Looking forward to get feedback and suggestions!

Awesome graphics! Can't wait to try it out! :)


Thank you jaakk, much appreciated!


This is a game devloped by dev9k, inspired by the DOS cult game Skyroads. I gave it a try yesterday, really enjoyed the soundtrack and the gameplay. The story driven aspect is a bit slow for my taste though.


It reminds me of the 90s arcade games. I spent tons of coins on those evil machines... And I'll spend some good time on this masterpiece too :)
