May 22, 2014I liked Race the Sun at first. It has a good concept, just awful execution. You "progress" through the game by getting level upgrades, done so by completing challenges. These challenges are mostly just frustrating (ex: having to only turn left for 2 rounds in 1 run). I ended up having no fun in the experience.

Mar 20, 2014Not a bad game but it gets old very fast.
Maybe I'm not the type of gamer who have fun memorize every obstacle in a level to get the top score.
More variation would be nice. -
Jun 24, 2015A very nice indie game, very good replay value as the map changes every 24 hours which is a very clever idea. It's a nice indie game and I strongly suggest you buy this game

Jul 28, 2015Although it's ultimately an infinite runner type game, Race The Sun has a few features that help extend its replayability. A simple concept, but well made.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 23, 2014This games is focused on what it wants to achieve and boy, does it ever. And as it changes over time, it’ll keep you coming back for days and days. [Issue#238]

Jan 15, 2014The game’s illusion of freedom is a bit disappointing. There are no paths surrounded by invisible walls as we have come to expect from other ‘endless runners’, and the first thing you do is try to take a peek at the edge of this world. But, in reality, there are only three ways: forward, just to the left, and just to the right.

Jan 3, 2014When you fly 350 kph, and gigantic block falls in front of your nose, don't say you weren't expecting it. Race the Sun is simply a wonderful reaction trainer. However, it could deliver a bit more than that.
