Race the Sun
Description
You are a solar powered craft, racing against the sunset at insane speeds. You navigate a procedural landscape that changes every day. You find and collect speed boosts to go even faster and momentarily reverse time. The goal is to increase your score and survive as long as you can without running out of daylight or smashing into pieces. For a change of pace, team-up with other players in an asynchronous relay race.
The Simplex World Creator is included right in the game and allows anyone to make unique new game modes (or modify existing ones) and share them in a special user worlds screen for all to see. The game also includes an extremely difficult world called Apocalypse and a deep player leveling system - with tons of objectives and 25 player levels to unlock. As you unlock items, you can customize your ship with attachments like faster turning, protective shield, and decals.

9/10
Overall Race The Sun is a fantastic endless runner style game, a genre which I'm usually not a fan of. It's incredibly addictive and really taps in to that 'one more go' mentality. I really like the visual style of the game and its minimalist graphics and obstacle design come together nicely. The fact the game also manages to feel fresh everyday due to the changing levels is an added bonus, purely because you don't know what to expect.

Not a real game
Bought it as it was on sale, very disappointed. I was inspired by the trailer and bought the game while it was on sale. Alas, the trailer itself has more artistic value than the "game". Rather than a full game as one could expect, this is just a simple repetitive gimmick. No story, no evolution, no change in games mechanics. As many other reviewers have stated, it gets old after a few minutes. Getting this game, even on sale, is a waste of time and money.

Please, no more...
Absolutely uninspiring, boring, repetitive, plain and simple game ever created. But hey! Let's put randomly generated levels to mix things up! No FFS! If you mix uninspiring, boring, repetitive, plain and simple level elements guess what will come out of it! Uninspiring, boring, repetitive, plain and simple levels. After going through level once you have seen it all. After playing this game for an hour you have seen all this game has to offer. And the music... Kinda repetitive. And boring. AAAAND uninspiring. I would say it's plain and simple. Of course we have unlocks just because a game in Unity in 2014 needs unlocks. Leader boards? First, no one is playing (surprise!), second thing is the game is made in such a way your score is pretty random. Just hope for busters and warp into this space level where you can build multiplier without any problem. Maybe try user created content? The biggest challenge is to not fall asleep. Dreadful game without any design thought put into it. There is no point in racing the sun. It's not fun. It's not hard. It's not pretty. It's not social or anything. Sell it on phones. Games on phones are trash anyway.
