Key Features


NERVE is an arcade racing game focused on progression and mastery featuring:
  • Vibrant and intense abstract visuals
  • Original soundtrack by Gustavo Coutinho
  • Over 100 unique handcrafted Zones
  • Gate Keeper Boss battles!
  • Freeplay World Select mode with global leaderboards
  • \

    In NERVE you play as a fragile ball of light racing along an endless cylindrical path. Your journey will take you through portals to different ever more threatening Worlds, whose common defining trait is that they all want you dead. Race through each Zone, dodge and destroy obstacles, learn from mistakes, master every World.

    Conquer the Campaign


    Race through 10 alien Worlds, each ending with a battle against a Gate Keeper that blocks your path. Use the unique mechanics you've learned from their World to defeat them.

    Dominate the Leaderboards


    Each World has a global leaderboard scoring system so players can see how they fare against their friends and other players around the world.

    Playing this game is like playing unfair mario. Obstacles do whatever the *** the devs wanted them to do, without any clear rules or telegraphing. It looks pretty, but it's not fun.

    The enemies are untelegraphed and awful making you have to repeat stages just so you can barely memorize the timings, and its just an unnecessary difficulty jump. Not even mentioning the gimmick spam just to add difficulty. Its like they sat making these levels just thinking of how to make it as difficult and unfun as they could. Honestly if the enemies were just telegraphed even a little bit instead of having a pattern of same timings to end off with a random time at the end it'd be more fun to play, like if the light were to focus in on you to show when they're going to attack instead of just random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ go. But in the end I'd say play it if you like repetitive games where you have to learn by smashing your head against the wall go ahead, I was just hoping it'd be a little bit like Thumper which I have 100% on.

    This game was amazing, bosses were fire and the music was so cool. if THE CREATORS ARE READING THIS PLEASE ADD A MODE TO JUST TO PLAY THE BOSSES IN THE EXTRAS MENU. i wish i could replay the bosses without going through the whole world again.

    Amazing visuals and challenging but really fun gameplay with a substantial amount of content for the rather low price!
