RACE THE SUN CHALLENGE EDITION

Got to level 25...now what? There's nothing really left to do to keep the game interesting; at least long enough to even buy the final ship. Would be nice if new game dynamics are added with a higher level limit / tiers. More ship upgrades such as cosmetic body modifiers, ability/bonus modifiers. Different challenge modes, such as races against your previous highest score (shadow ship). Otherwise I don't have any reason to play anymore, I'm not going to farm for the last ship, not worth it.

It was fun until after you go through the first round you see what the issue with this game is. At the end of every game forced ads pop up. Theres "revive with an ad watch" optipns but even when unselected it still forces you to watch the ad. If you love forced interruptions, download this now! If you love to waste time for nothing download this game now!

I paid to remove ads because if a person wants to play this for more than 5 minutes the ads do get pretty annoying. I enjoy the physics of this game & controls. Easy to learn but hard to master, it would help would to not requiring ridiculous accomplishments to advance. Unfortunately, your paying to get rid of ads does not eliminate all other potential purchases, & the backgrounds are monotonous after a while, more diversity in scenes needed. ETA: Jump storage, solar battery don't work! Fix pls!

Gave 3-stars because it's a genuinely enjoyable game. Will even suffer through the too many ADs. But the downside is everything moves too fast. Even when I slow it all the way down, it's still too fast to get through the tight alternating walls maze. And can't fly over it. Haven't gotten past Level-1. There should be different levels of skill to work one's way up the ladder. Unlike most apps though, I will not uninstall yet.

Great game! Ads were excessive but can be turned off with airplane mode. I wish there was an option to control the ship by tilting the screen. There should be perk that puts you in slow motion for a few seconds so you can maneuver better in tight spots, and a missile perk so you can blast obstacles. Overall great game but it's too fast paced unless you have the premium version and you're playing zen mode.

To preface: I've been playing RtS since it first came out, so my standards are high. This is a solid mobile version of an amazing game and worth the $5 purchase. Only the default mode is in the game, but there are exclusive ships not found in the PC/console versions, which is nice. My only knock is that on the touch controls, pressing jump will nudge your ship slightly right or left if you don't push it dead center, which can cause crashes. If this is ever fixed, consider my review five stars.

Simple yet elegant graphics with smooth animation but gameplay feels unfinished. A few things that could make this game really shine: 1) An option to use the phone's gyroscope for steering. 2) A better way to do barrel rolls. 3) Some kind of collision warning system such as highlighting the tip of a wing in red when an obstacle is approaching. 4) More engaging missions, maybe some involving other craft and weapons. 5) A button to exit the game.

Amazing game! It's one of those "easy to pick up, hard to master" type of app. I enjoy the simplistic designs, the customization (limited as it is), and the challenge. My only complaint is that I can't find the "Apocalypse" gamemode, but the normal game is more than enough to keep me occupied. The levels also randomly generate every day, which keeps things fresh and interesting. I highly recommend this game if you want a good time waster :)

I'm playing this through Play Pass, so I can't say anything about the ads because there aren't any, haha! The game is pretty good and the music is very nice, to boot! The crash sound I found to be very jarring, especially against the calmness of everything else. Of course, it's possible to turn down the volume of sound effects and music separately, so that's good. The purchase options don't work for me, except for the tri doubler. Even with Play Pass, I can't purchase anything.

This doesn't feel like a mobile game. (Probably because it's on steam) it's an endless runner but instead of being locked onto three paths, you can move left and right freely. This opens up TONS of new obstacles, powerups, challenges, etc. Haven't bought the premium, but I intend to in the near future. Wish there was more content beyond level 25. It would be cool if challenges were still tracked beyond the final level, they gave goals to track just for fun. Adverts a little intrusive at times.

I absolutely love this game! It's fun, the graphics are pleasantly simple but pretty, the motion feels fluid, and it's generally pretty chill. My only complaint is that I keep running into an issue on my phone where it fails to save my progress. I'll get through a few levels, and the next time I open the app I'm back where I started. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app a couple times and also deleted cache data for both the game and Google play. Hope there's a fix for this!

This game is so addicting. I just wish there was more. It stopped me at level 24. I wish it could go on from there and collect more ships etc. Also, forgive if I'm nitpicking, but it would be really cool to have a cockpit view; one with a windscreen, control panel, with displays and so on. It doesn't need to be elaborate, just cockpits make it more emersive imo. Overall great, hope to see more features as you upgrade! 😀

Great game for flow state and just wasting time. The Barrel Roll mechanic is super clunky and inconsistent, a double-tap on one side of the screen would work better. Ads are reasonable, relatively short, and let you play the game without excessive interruption. Recharge times for lives are short enough you can walk away, make a snack, and have lives refilled by the time you are done eating. Good game, just some mechanics are a little underdeveloped.

Small suggestion, after I crash, I always spam tap the same part of the screen to start the next game, and whenever I level up, it makes me accidentally skip through everything I earned and not know what I got. Maybe for the level up screen you can have the button show up after a second or you could move it to the corner to prevent accidentally skipping through it? That would be great, thanks for reading!

Good game, horrible mobile experience. You get assaulted with ads constantly in an attempt to get you to pay the 5 dollars to purchase the premium version of the app that doesn't have any "pop up ads". I assume by that they mean you still get ads but they aren't as bad. Even opening the mystery box items you collect forces you to watch a 30 second unskipable ad Honestly there are much better endless runners that aren't ads obnoxious Buy it on steam instead

Really wanted to love this, but 1) it's very hard, which generally I like, but paired with 2) there is an ad every single time you die, means that if play for 5 minutes, I get 3-4 minutes of ads and loading screens. I can't tell if I'd like it or not because I'm mostly dead and watching ads. I'm not willing to fork over the no-ad money when the free version doesn't allow me to actually try out the game. Looks like it might be fun...or might just take your money and be very frustrating.

It is well designed and simple to play and graphically amazing to look at. My problem is that every time you crash, it gives a bright flash on the screen. Instead of crashing being the more typical reset that is most runner games, it has a finality to it that takes away the fun of picking the runner back up and trying again. Give the option to get rid of this and I will reinstall and play regularly.
