Move as fast as possible through the level to set your best time.

  • Use your shield to destroy electric stun turrets and breakable walls or to create multiple hovering gravity fields to traverse long gaps and find new shortcuts
  • Multiple replayable levels within neon-lit sci-fi environments
  • Track your best times within the menu and try to beat your fastest run
