Under rating threshold (show) Amazing game. Imagine if there was a real sport like this, flying in the sky in a solar powered vehicle, chasing the sun. The one who completes one rotation across the planet wins. I wish life was like this. Anyway, this is the perfect game, simple and elegant.

Under rating threshold (show) As I flew along in my solar powered space wing, I did some thinking to kill the time. Why was I there? Why didn't I invent batteries to last me through the cloudy days and nights? Am I some kind of solar powered robot that needs to keep chasing the fast moving sun to stay alive? Why was I put on this planet of gray? Why does the sun hate me?

Under rating threshold (show) Ivod - I think its called Racing the Sun because the ship is clearly solar powered and you are trying to get as far as possible before your power is cut off. Trying to outrun the setting of the sun in a sense.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Agree, there's too much dead time at the end there, we'll address that in the next update.

Under rating threshold (show) FFS, what is it this week with bad BotD choices? Yesterday's BotD took wayyy too long, and today's some people can't even load because unity doesn't work in linux.

Under rating threshold (show) Sorry, I just had a look at the video of the full version at quickstarter. The multiplayer concept you have in mind is great. Furhter, I think the ramps and falling buildings are cool, but super sophisticated effects like domino-cascades look unfairly difficult. The race towards the sunset seems to fall to a much less important task compared to that. Remember that the player is at the limits of its reflex possibilities, dont make him/her say "this is too much for me". :) Hope for the best for this game!

Developer response from Flippfly

Thanks for all the feedback! We've been working hard on the game for about a year now, and the gameplay you see in that video has been in beta testing for some time. We've worked hard to ensure that it's difficult, but fair. We think you'll like the result :)

Under rating threshold (show) the multiplier system makes it really difficult to get to 100 000, even 80 000 to reach lvl 3. Feels more like a hard badge.

Under rating threshold (show) Nice simple run/ race type game. The fact the upgrades are objective base is a nice touch to keep you playing. The simple graphics but complex shadowing is great at keeping the focused on avoiding the rocks and walls but noting the sun going down as the shadows grow longer. This is a perfect example of how a few well put together simple things can out way the big flashy high graphic over done games. Quality work, well done.

Under rating threshold (show) i don't get one thing... its a plane that runs on solar power... why the hell is it flying at ground level where there are 1. potential obstacles for the plane to crash into 2. air density is thicker, thus more stressful for the plane AND limiting plane's speed 3. sun is not as strong due to terrain

Don't think too hard on it, just enjoy the ride :)

Under rating threshold (show) I love getting my hands on an alpha game because, although rough and usually glitchy(not this one, well done on that), you can really see the heart of the developer in it, and you can imagine what an amazing game it could be. You have clearly been working hard on this game, and I have to say, it's amazing. It runs really really well, especially since it's a 3D game, and procedurally generated. All in all it's a great game, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Under rating threshold (show) As people are customers of Unity, could you please put pressure on them to provide Linux browser plugins? Their response on the forums basically is that end users aren't their customers, devs are. I'm playing this on my Windows test box, which is at an awkward angle with an irritating keyboard.

Under rating threshold (show) the sticky steering is pissing me off. I love the game, but I keep missing the power ups and crashing into obstacles I could have easily avoided because the ship keeps getting stuck on left!!

Under rating threshold (show) I keep having the game stick in one direction for too long By 'stick in one direction for too long', I mean that the ship has a tendency to tilt left long after I've let go of the left key, goes straight when I press/hold the right key, and doesn't stop tilting left until I press left and right rapid fire for about a second and a half. Same also sometimes happens with sticking to the right, as well. I can only give 3 *'s because of this; It'd easily be a 5er for me, otherwise.

Under rating threshold (show) Whoa...this game just got even more intense and I love it even more. I'm not sure how I feel about the single tris and their smaller "auras" because I used to catch them from mid-air and they obviously feel different now...although that's how they were originally, if memory serves. But other than that, I'm thinking this update is magnificent. The shaking when you get a booster and the sunset with its music really add to the adrenaline. Plus, the multiplier system makes it less luck-based and more skill-based which is good for someone as great and powerful as me.

Under rating threshold (show) I think my biggest complaint is with the scores required for the levels, I managed to get like, 30 tris, and to the third level and still didn't make the minimum required 80,000 points for the second level up. Compared to the other two requirements, this one is rather demanding.

Under rating threshold (show) Can we get a 2d map of how far we are through a region and maybe like an area around where the power ups are. Like an AOE on the map. Maybe a clock telling how long we have left and a speed meter as well.

Under rating threshold (show) My version of the story: You don't know how you got to this nightmarish place, nor how you got the glider. The world here is so eerie, the plain is merely a husk of what it once was. Everything is devoid of colour, save for the sun. It is the one joy you get in this world, racing towards it gives you a feeling like no other. It is your addiction; without it you are nothing. Attempting to describe it would be like explaining the vividness of colours to the blind, or the feel of anothers skin to those that cannot feel. You know that the closer you get to it the stronger the feeling gets, and you know that you must beat the others to it, some crash into the landscape and die but you do not care; you race on. You know you must get to that place before the sun disappears. What you don't know is- that sun is the only portal home, back to the life of Jamie Sullivan; the forever pilot
