A skill tree depends on the number of fans the band has at a time. Mayday's guitar swings and attack transformations deal more damage, while Zuke builds up combos with his drumsticks and provides support using his transformations.


Mayday and Zuke attack differently due to their specializations. The music notes they collect can be used as ammunition and projectiles, and some objects can be transformed into weapons and defenses during boss battles. The game is designed around a rhythm-based combat system in which the player can move freely without having to follow the beat, but still has to pay attention to audio cues in order to plan their moves. In No Straight Roads, the player takes control of either Mayday or Zuke and can switch between them anytime in single player. An updated version, No Straight Roads: Encore Edition was released on October 21, 2021. It was released on August 25, 2020, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One after three years of development. The game combat involves listening to the music, knowing when enemies attack and when to strike. The focus is on an indie rock duo who battle an EDM empire to free Vinyl City from their control with the power of rock.

No Straight Roads is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Metronomik and published by Sold Out Ltd.
