I haven’t purchased RtS on Playstation yet, but I intend to soon. Do you ever have control over whenever it goes on sale on the PSN store? I would love to support you guys, but I can’t even remember the last game I bought full-price! Plus, being 17 without a job yet, it’s kind of hard to pay $10 or more at a time for every game I buy.

I haven’t purchased RtS on Playstation yet, but I intend to soon. Do you ever have control over whenever it goes on sale on the PSN store? I would love to support you guys, but I can’t even remember the last game I bought full-price! Plus, being 17 without a job yet, it’s kind of hard to pay $10 or more at a time for every game I buy. If I get another PSN money card, Race the Sun is my target! I see you guys didn’t make the trophies too doggone difficult, which I appreciate. I hate when I love a game so much, but there’s always those few achievements that elude me!
Can’t wait for its release on PS4 and Vita now! I’ll make sure to earn all the achievements from those versions too! Just don’t make them too frustrating…okay?
I think you guys are going to get a lot of votes today and in the future. OfficialNerdCubed (Youtuber) just put up a video of him playing the game and I bought it because it looked amazing and he introduced me to the game. I know you guys are tight on money but some advertising would help a lot.
Gokuguy: this game reminds me of how annoying this game is, and that reminds me of how fun and addicting this game is

Haha thanks, I think :)

Hey Flippfly, to answer your response. Yes I do see and can pick up the blue Tris things. But the speed boosts do not show up. I’m using Firefox if that helps.
Thanks for letting us know! That’s really strange and we’ve not seen it before!
We’ll try to at least get a “Reset game” option in there to help get out of this jam, at some point. Sorry it’s not work…

We’ll try to at least get a “Reset game” option in there to help get out of this jam, at some point. Sorry it’s not working right!
Hello there, it seems when i was racing into the abyss of the sunset the trees and houses were roughly 40 feet above me after i got around 5000 distance. It told me to inform one of you guys so i figured i would, Thanks.
The stressing music when the sun goes down is awesome, but it’s a bit annoying when it lingers even after you managed to save the day (what a perfect opportunity to use this expression !) just in time, and the horizon isn’t glowing red anymore.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. We’d considered making the music go back to “normal” but in the end decided that having it switch back and forth might be annoying. We’ll probably keep working on this tr…
Hey, thanks for the feedback. We’d considered making the music go back to “normal” but in the end decided that having it switch back and forth might be annoying. We’ll probably keep working on this track though, to make it less repetetive!
It’s not that it’s repetitive, it’s just that it gives you a sense of urgency when there should be none. Now I know, I know, your game is all about urgency, but one of the thing I love best about it i…
It’s not that it’s repetitive, it’s just that it gives you a sense of urgency when there should be none. Now I know, I know, your game is all about urgency, but one of the thing I love best about it is the striking contrast between a stressful run-for-your-life race and a strangely zen music & graphics. The lingering “panic music” ruins it when the horizon isn’t red, and when it happens I always end up crashing. (But maybe that was the whole point, you evil developers)
Anyway, that’s just my opinion ; besides, you’ve got a point, a constantly switching music would be unsefferable. In the end, much ado about nothing, I guess. ^^
Keep up the good work, can’t wait to download the full game !
This is one of the most awesome games I’ve encountered in a while, congrats ! I just can’t stop playing and I consider buying it. Should I wait for beta version ?
P.S : I’ve been the victim of that awful glitch when you crash on an invisible obstacle. And the “very-slow-craft” thing keeps happening regularly, too.
Oops, sorry for the double post but I wanted to mention that the 80k score is pretty easy to get once you’re used to the game. In my opinion, well, no need to change that.
Ever since the game’s multiplier system has changed, getting the achievements have been ridiculously difficult. Before I can get the jump powerup I need to get 80,000 points but it takes as much effort to get those 80,000 points as it used to take to get 250,000 points before the game the changed. If you’re going to change the point/game mechanics,…

If you’re going to change the point/game mechanics, can you at least change the achievements to make them as difficult that they once were? (and in my case, achievable?)

Hey, sorry this is giving you trouble! We actually don’t have control over the achievements, unfortunately. We did try to balance things out so getting those achievements was about as easy as before, but it may be hard to get close if you collide with things, which resets your multiplier. The best advice I can give right now is to try really hard to get your multiplier up by avoiding collisions – make use of the jump master so you can collect plenty of jumps to skip over the flying squids, etc. Good luck!
No, I just enjoy the smoothness of 120 fps. Too bad some games keep a frame limit beneath that. I see Race The Sun has a limit of 60 on the standalone version, and the browser version is capped at 100…

Hmm sorry to hear that. Not sure if there’s anything I can do about it at this point without being able to reproduce it myself. We’ll keep an eye out for it.
When I said to add a key to play again, I meant a hot key to play the game again without using the mouse. I prefer to move the mouse off the screen if its not used in game play and moving it back and fourth gets annoying.
It does work, but it doesn’t tell you that you can press enter to automatically restart. You should at least put it in the instructions category of the description. Also, sorry for getting back to you…

Sorry about that :( We were able to reproduce this for a time, but then it stopped happening. It seems to happen more in full-screen mode, and seems to happen more often if you have multiple browser windows open (perhaps viewing other games.)
We’re still working on nailing down the cause of it.
In response to going under the map in Race the Sun: I was in area 1, lagged really bad; like 3 fps, then bam, nothingness. I made it to area 2 before the sun went down, but it seemed to take longer than it should have. My score got to 100k.
Yes, W/A/D works on Race the Sun. The only control scheme mentioned in the game was arrow keys, so that’s why I thought it didn’t work the other way first. Yes, I complained before trying it out. Sorry about that.
New request: could you put in the alternate directions in the game at the beginning?
