You are a solar-powered craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching speed boosts which reverse the setting sun – if only for a moment. Race The Sun is inspired by arcade games of the past with a focus on high scores, short game sessions, and pure fun mingled with nerve-wracking tension. The rules are simple: don't crash, stay in the light, and don't slow down!

Played this almost a decade ago and just recently remembered it exists. One of the best runner games out there.

Well isn't this one of the games to just come back to for no reason sometimes. No goodbye, come back for a moment, leave forever, repeat.

I've been playing Race The Sun for years! I originally got it on release on Humble, then on console. Since coming back on PC, I had a Steam code and been getting back into the game.
It's probably one of the best endless runner games, simple controls, simple rules and a good feel for speed. I've generally been playing it on the keyboard as I find it easier to roll the glider, but its harder to get that finesse control while navigating through smaller gaps.
The aim of the game is to keep racing to the horizon and keeping the sun in the sky, that's what powers the glider. Going in to the shadows will slow down your glider and of course the lowing sun will slow it down to a halt also which means game over. So keep in the light, and use power up objects like jumps and boosts to keep within the light.
The worlds should change every day so it feels different enough to feel fresh. There's other modes but I haven't got there yet.
The game looks fantastic, the simplistic vector graphics work well for a game like this. As its not about how detailed it is but how it feels when you go fast!
The game also plays good on a Steam Deck :)
I would skip the Zen mode though.

Minimalist runner with some rougelite elements. I like the whole avoid the shadows mechanic. Needs better music, though.

The leaderboards are down and the console versions got the dlc for free but this game is still timeless. It's quick, responsive, looks great at any level of machine and plays fantastically. Highly recommend.

Super good. Becomes bland after a while , I wish that they could update this version like the mobile version.
