Rhythm Racer

Rhythm Racer turns music into a 360° racing tunnel, placing you inside a track generated from the song you choose. The game analyses each track, using its bass, drums, melody and changes to shape the course. The same song always generates the same track, so you can learn it, improve your run and chase a higher score.

You can use your own MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A or FLAC library, or choose from over 110 built-in original tracks.

Single-player racing

In Single Player, pick a song and race around the tube’s 12 lanes. Collect gems, avoid barriers and aim for the highest score you can. You can race against leaderboard ghosts, including ghosts of your own previous best runs.

Game modes

Multiplayer races put you and up to three other ships on the same track. The mode supports 2–4 player split-screen and can fill empty slots with AI opponents at different difficulty levels, letting you race against friends, AI or a mix of both. Since everyone races on the same generated course, knowing the song can make a difference.

Cruise Mode lets you play a longer track or playlist in a continuous sequence of changing tubes. It keeps the music and visuals going, with less emphasis on competition and scores.

In Stream Mode, Twitch viewers can type !play in chat to join a race. They do not need to own or install Rhythm Racer; their AI-controlled ships appear in the game alongside the streamer. Viewers can join the queue throughout the stream, so the group of racers changes over time. Stream Mode works with any music available in the game, including its stream-safe tracks.

Ships and customisation

Choose from 20 ships and customise their colours. You can also change the tube’s rail colours, patterns and themes, with millions of possible colour combinations.

Scores and ghosts

Scores & Stats tracks your lifetime totals, individual song history, achievements and ship usage, including which ships you have played, use most often or still need to race with. Each song has its own leaderboard. Race against your previous runs or download another player’s ghost; its ship follows the exact movements from that run, so you can see where they gained an advantage.
