Race the Sun

Race the Sun is good at what it does and what it does is good. All you really need to do is go left and right and sometimes jump. You get boosts and points along the way. You need to catch up to the sun so that you don't run out of solar power (i.e. lose the game). Losing solar power and crashing into things are the only two ways you can possibly lose in this game, and you'll be doing that more often than you expect. Don't let it deter you though, perfection can only come with pracitce. You are meant to die, it's an endless runner. The sun setting makes obstacles cast larger shadows, making it even harder. You'll have to constantly try and get boosts, but the more boosts you get the more prone you are to crash. The further you go the obstacles get increasingly difficult. You level up by completing tasks, and the harder the task the more "experience" you get. The real shining factor though, is the community. The game changes it's maps every 24 hours so you don't go through the boring slog every single time you play but it doesn't have the uncertainty and unpredictablity of a roguelike. There's a level editor so you can make your own maps and share them online. Race the Sun is an all round fun experience, focused at a single thing instead of trying to be a jack of all trades. Again, don't let the difficulty scare you. It's challenging, but never feels unfair.

love this game. It is a lot of fun. The graphics are good.

10/10. A little tiny bit too hard tho. But I will keep on trying, I am sure I will get better in time. :-)

This will be short. Race The Sun is a very simple game that is truly addictive. It nearly compels you to keep playing to see if you can get through an area before colliding with an object. A casual game for moments where even 2-3 minutes can be given to the game and have fun playing. Worth every dollar and a game you will keep going back to time and again. :o)

RTS is a strange little game. You will find yourself in a simplistic world of scattered geometric shapes. Your goal is to fly towars the sinking sun, which is powering your plane, until your plane runs out of juice or frontally hits one of the (often moving) obstacles. You can collect extras that for instance let the sun shine a bit longer or allow you to make jumps. RTS offers secondary objectives like making a number of jumps or travelling a certain distance. Reaching them will unlock upgrades or decals. What sounds boring becomes very addictive and has a very high "just ONE more run" factor. Sometimes the game feels almost hypnotic when you have a good run, letting you flick your plane to the left and to the right, accompanied by that "WOOOOSH!" when you miss obstacles only by a hair. Why only 3 Stars? A) RTS will not entertain for long periods of time. It is more like a sweet snack that you only want in small doses. B) Secondary goals that let the game become a chore. I could not make 20 barrel rolls in one run, even after almost a hundret runs, because the the course is just too crammed and the controls feel a bit imprecise. Sometimes the plane will do his barrel roll and sometimes it will not and thats just not good enough. In case you like games that become a chore, have a higher frustration tolerance or better reflexes than I have - feel free to add another star.
