About Ludicrous Speed

Run, jump, and wall-grind through an infinitely-generated track in VR! Race against the dangerous hazards using natural locomotion controls, surrounded by a surreal pulsating neon world that reacts to the music! Run to the in-game soundtrack or play your own from any other music source on your PC and the environment responds.

Игра Ludicrous Speed — это настоящий взрыв адреналина и хаоса, завернутый в пиксельную обертку. С первых минут она бросает тебя в самую гущу событий, где скорость — это не просто параметр, а стиль жизни. Управление отзывчивое, но требует привыкания, так что первые заезды, скорее всего, закончатся зрелищными столкновениями и эффектными переворотами. Трассы тут — это отдельная песня: витиеватые, полные неожиданных поворотов, трамплинов и ловушек, которые то и дело норовят отправить тебя в небытие. Визуальный стиль игры нарочито аляповатый и яркий, что только усиливает общее ощущение безумия. Музыкальное сопровождение под стать — бодрый саундтрек, который идеально подходит для того, чтобы гнать вперед, не оглядываясь. Это не та игра, где нужно долго разбираться в механиках или стратегии. Ludicrous Speed — это про чистые эмоции, про реакцию и про то, чтобы просто получать удовольствие от дикого, неуправляемого драйва. Если ищешь что-то, что заставит твои пальцы вспотеть и вызовет улыбку от нелепых ситуаций, то ты по адресу.

"Ludicrous Speed" is a badly made VR tech demo, a very shallow endless runner with a shop description slapped together with AI slop and a technical implementation on par with that level of creativity... basically none. What do you do in the game? Wave your arms and head around to avoid obstacles and collect stuff in this very weak Temple Runner knockoff. The graphics aren't great, low poly neon garbage. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable re…

i didn't play it for long but i will say that for a totally free game that actually gives a semi fast feel it's better than i expected. you could control with either controls or motion and it did work quite well. it would be nice if the environment order was possibly more random after the first lap or if the game was able to "get harder" after either reaching a certain number of laps or having a certain score or maybe even combining danger object types across the available worlds to create even more variation it would be cool. otherwise, for a free game that lets you test out vr with little hassle its worth at least a look. i hope who ever made this has been able to make more interesting things.

Ludicrous Speed takes the straightforward idea of an endless runner and transforms it into an energetic virtual reality experience built around momentum, reflexes, and physical movement. Developed and published by Manic Machine, it is less interested in storytelling or traditional progression and more focused on creating the sensation of moving at increasingly ridiculous speeds through a colorful obstacle course. It is a compact concept, but one that fits VR particularly well because movement becomes part of the challenge rather than simply a method of getting from one place to another. The core gameplay revolves around traveling as far as possible through an endlessly generated track. Players sprint forward, jump over hazards, maneuver around obstacles, grind along walls, and collect rings while attempting to maintain a successful run. Difficulty gradually rises as the journey continues, so surviving for longer periods requires increasingly fast reactions. There is an appealing arcade quality to this structure. Failure simply encourages another attempt, and improvement comes from becoming more comfortable with movement, learning how to react quickly, and taking calculated risks w…
