Overview

Overview

Overview

The game was inspired by Japanese Bosozoku culture, which is a Japanese subculture focused on speed, excitement, and powerful motorcycle or vehicle customization. This delinquent subculture arose when some kamikaze pilots returned from World War II in the 1950s. In the game, you drive your motorcycle through the desert trying to stay on the road as long as you can. Fall off the road and you DIE.

As an endless runner, your goal in Black Emperor is to ride as far as you can on your motorcycle through a barren desert. You must stay on the road or else you'll slow down. Fall off the path for too long, and you are toast!

The Story

Black Emperor was created by Tomas Vicuna, who transitioned from film to game development in order to gain a new perspective for filmmaking. He went through many challenges in creating the game before Bumblebear Games eventually discovered itand helped make it what it is today.
