True masterpiece, cannot even find words to desrcibe! This is literally tier 1 game when you are bored or need to spend time quickly. Highly recommended

Dec. 2025

Race the Sun is a perfect game. If you want to just kick back and relax for a few minutes, or even lose track of time and find yourself playing for a few hours, Race the Sun is for you. The objective is simple, avoid obstacles and don't let the sun set. There are powerups you can get for your ship and pickup along the way. The music is great as well. Perfect to just sit down and unwind after a long day.

Super good. Becomes bland after a while , I wish that they could update this version like the mobile version.

July 2025

A simple, well engineered racing game. Fly your ship, avoid obstacles, and do everything in your power to avoid having the sun set with your ship stopping in its tracks. Bear in mind, it seems that online features (leaderboard, news, etc.) are inoperative, so this is best treated as a single-player game.
