Race The Sun is a high-speed game that uses simple controls and is set in a procedurally generated world. The goal is to get the highest possible score by racing into the sunset, avoiding obstacles and enemies, and collecting speed boosts and other powerups to help you along the way. You fly a solar-powered craft, and the game ends at sundown, if you can make it that far!

Runs well on modern hardware.

Race the Sun is one of those rare games that hooks you, the minimalist low-poly visuals and driving soundtrack make every run feel cinematic, and the daily map rotation genuinely keeps things fresh enough to justify coming back. It's the kind of game you pick up for "just one run" and suddenly an hour has passed. That said, I have to be honest: the leaderboards and server features seem to be largely dead on the Steam version, which stings because chasing scores against other players was clearly a big part of what made this special. If you can make peace with playing it purely for your own personal best, it's still a satisfying reflex-sharpener that earns its place in any casual rotation. Just don't expect active developer support — the mobile version appears to be where their attention went.
One of my absolute favorites! Fun endless runner with an interesting mechanic, stay in the light to keep moving! Avoiding obstacles feels so smooth and I really like the design of the solar craft. The game's relaxing but it's also not at the same time. Shame it doesn't have the wider customization like in the mobile version but oh well... it's still great, still got it, still gonna play, so yeah go get it.
Fun! Kinda like old school star fox for SNES, but better!
