About the Game

You are a speck of light, alone in the dark. Hold to gather power, release to scream across the void in a streak of pure speed. In LightForce, everything is momentum — how fast you're moving decides whether you win the race, thread the gap, smash the wall, or destroy your enemy.

One move. Total control.

Hold to freeze in place and build a charge. Release toward any direction to dash — and the longer you hold, the faster you fly. That single move is your engine, your weapon, and your escape. Simple to pick up, a thrill to master.

Four ways to play

  • Race — Outrun AI rivals to the finish, carving through winding corridors and slingshotting off boost pads.

  • Dodge — Reach the end without touching a single obstacle. One slip ends the run.

  • Break — Build enough speed to smash clean through everything in your path.

  • Battle — Momentum is your weapon. Ram enemies while moving faster than them to destroy them and send them flying. Clear every wave across 10 arenas.

Never stop running

Every mode has 10 hand-crafted levels plus an Endless gauntlet where a collapsing void hunts you down — slow for a heartbeat and it swallows you whole.

Train for war

Sharpen your combat in Training: pick any of 10 battle arenas, set how many enemies you face, and choose from five AI difficulties — EASY all the way up to ELITE.

Race and fight together

A 1v1 Quick Match against a stranger, or host a Private Match with friends — choose teams, drop in AI bots, and battle it out. Plus local two-player races.

Make it your own

Earn coins from challenges and spend them on a galaxy of colors for your speck — a full spectrum of hues, a monochrome set, and a premium gold-rimmed black.

Charge. Dash. Outrun the void.
