About Race the Sun
Race the Sun is an arcade game in which you pilot a solar craft toward the sunset. The sun acts as a death timer: you must avoid crashing, stay in the light and keep moving. Catching energy boosts reverses the setting sun for a moment, delaying the end of your run.
Race through the world
You travel at high speed through an infinite procedural world that changes every day. Short sessions, high scores and simple rules sit alongside the tension of racing against time. Completing objectives unlocks upgrades and levels up your ship through 25 levels.
Customize and create
You can customize your ship with attachments, including faster turning, and with decals. A built-in editor lets you create endless worlds, while world portals take you to worlds made by other players. You can also unlock the ultra-hard world called Apocalypse.
