Overview
Description

Distance blends arcade‑style racing with exploration, letting you pilot a versatile car equipped with boost, jump, rotate, and flight abilities across treacherous tracks. As you race, you uncover the story of a forgotten world while mastering physics‑defying maneuvers. The game offers a solo adventure, cooperative multiplayer, split‑screen play, and a built‑in level editor with Steam Workshop support, all backed by an original soundtrack and indie polish from Refract Studios.

Race the Sun is a fast‑paced arcade racer where you pilot a solar‑powered craft across a procedurally generated world. The simple controls let you focus on weaving through obstacles, collecting speed boosts, and outrunning the setting sun. The game offers both solo challenges and multiplayer modes, including co‑operative play, and is available across a wide range of platforms. Score as high as possible before sundown ends your run.
