Ignite

Ignite is a racing game where you use score to decide when to spend it on nitro and when to save it for a time bonus at the end of the race. You can build score by drafting, hitting objects and drifting; some cars suit particular methods better than others. Choosing a car to match your preferred approach and managing score during the race are central to your tactics.

Game modes

Ignite includes a 35-race single-player campaign across seven locations and multiplayer races for up to five players. Its three modes use score in different ways:

• Race mode: Build score and spend it on nitro to get ahead, or save it to convert into a time bonus at the end of the race.
• Knock-Out mode: The last player is eliminated at the end of each lap, while the remaining players receive a score bonus.
• Run-Out mode: You start with a set amount of score that gradually drains. Stunts can replenish some score, while nitro consumes it; reaching zero means you lose.

Cars and racing

You can choose among three types of car: American muscle, street and race cars. Each has a different feel and calls for a different driving technique. Every vehicle also has different settings, making it suitable for different races or driving styles.

Cars take damage, but damage does not affect their handling. Weather conditions vary between races, so the same track can feel different in sunny or foggy conditions.

Other features

Ignite has 30 achievements that reward stunts and special skills and teach some of the game's techniques. Each racetrack also has a worldwide leaderboard.
