Lightning Edge
Lightning Edge is a love letter to SkyRoads (1993), the DOS classic where the road itself was the enemy. Same rules, new edge: momentum is everything, every surface means something, and one mistake sends you into the void.

Tied Together
The winner of the Arcade Room Game Jam, behold the journey of a boat that can split in two. Forget the rules of the road, leave your brakes at the starting line, and strap in. You’re about to dive headfirst into a high-octane sprint where vibrant horizons blur, sharp drifts mean the difference between glory and a fiery crash, and every second counts. Punch the gas—the asphalt isn't going to conquer itself.

ABOUT ME
Who Am I?
I’m Faizal Khan, a Game Designer based in Delhi, India, with over two years of experience
designing gameplay, systems, and levels across mobile and PC projects. I focus on building clear
core loops, meaningful player agency, and well-paced progression that support both
moment-to-moment engagement and long-term retention. My work spans casual mobile games to
mid-core and larger-scale PC experiences, where I translate design intent into structured,
implementation-ready systems. I work closely with engineers and artists to ensure design
clarity, balance, and a consistent player experience throughout production.
PS: I have a
strong passion for horror and platformer games.
