Race The Sun

Race The Sun is a grave and I dig it... The twelve hundred hours Steam credits me for doesn't even scratch my true numbers hahaha.... "just one more run"

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.

This game has always held a special place in my heart. It was one of the first video games I actually played, aside from things like Minecraft, and I have never stopped playing it. Although my playtime is low on steam, I have played for hours and hours on my Playstation. If you are debating on wether or not to buy this game, I highly suggest doing so, because this game literally never gets boring.
Smashing my face into things has been fun since 2013. Thank you, Flippfly.

Used to play this game while things weren't going too great, it kept me distracted, great game.

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