CubeRace

CubeRace is a futuristic racing game set in 2168, where CubeRace has become a major sporting event. You pilot a DR-Drone remotely through a neural link, guiding it around tracks in an antigravity vehicle.

The origins of CubeRace

In 2159, engineers and technicians on the Tethys space station Stars2 modified Jammy-N6 vehicles, designed for short trips in extraterrestrial environments, by fitting them with old antimatter engines once used on probes. They used the vehicles for illegal races on a long track built as a hub for transporting goods to colonies around Saturn, without the station-owning company’s knowledge. The vehicles were controlled by DR-Drones, robots trained to drive antigravity vehicles and spaceships; human pilots sent them instructions through remote neural links.

By 2168, CubeRace has grown into a major event, attracting sponsors and investors. The human population has reached 17 billion, including about 143,000 people in Moon colonies, 28,000 in the large Martian colony of Osiridon, and another 3,000 scattered across 35 other colonies and outposts, not counting military-base staff. Life on the Moon and Mars colonies is a luxury, and VIPs and celebrities wait months for space passports while events and shows stream between planets.

Tracks and racing

You can race on four tracks: Tethys, Titan, Iapetus and Enceladus. The racing features Negativeforce, Overload Boost and Powercharge. Each track has three leaderboards, for best time, best speed and best score, as well as nine achievements to unlock.

Race features

CubeRace includes two switchable camera views, Far and Near Player, and a minimal-futuristic soundtrack. A wiki section provides information about the game.
