About Race The Sun
Pilot a solar craft in a race against the setting sun, speeding through procedurally generated landscapes while collecting energy boosts to delay the inevitable. Inspired by classic arcade games, it combines roguelike progression with daily-changing worlds and a robust level editor for infinite replayability.
You are a solar craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching energy boosts which reverse the setting sun - if only for a moment.
Race The Sun is inspired by arcade games of the past with a focus on highscores, short game sessions, and a sense of pure fun mingled with a nerve-wracking tension. The rules are simple: don't crash, stay in the light, and don't slow down!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
'Race The Sun' was a legendary early free PS Plus game on the PS4. The main appeal was that this game would have daily refreshing leaderboards, and a daily refreshing procedurally generated map that players would compete on. It was a good bit of casual fun. Unfortunately, the developer seems to have abandoned the Steam version, and the servers no longer work. It appears that you are perpetually stuck on one singular world, and there are no leaderboards. I would not bother with this until that is fixed.1 found this helpful

Fun game for the first few levels, but the difficulty doesn't scale well; it's impossible to consistently get beyond the first few levels. As a result you end up playing the first 3-4 levels over and over again, which gets old fast. Also, the leaderboard server is defunct, so you can't compare your scores to others. I'm not even sure your old high scores are saved.1 found this helpful
Small game that still works. Extremely reliant on skill. Simple but nice visuals. If wou want something tiny for your old laptop to run offline / play during travel, it's worth it especially on discount.
Legendary game :)
This game was great until it stopped working. It literally won't load anything past the menu. I mentions something about not being able to connect to the server. I can't even exit the game with the exit button from the menu, I have to use alt+F4. Pro: None, it literally doesn't work. Cons: This is a single player game, how could possibly need and Internet to work.
