About the Game

SILKRUN is an arcade racing game where you can master silky smooth powerslides around insane tracks, even on a keyboard — race against time, computer opponents, and online in different weather conditions and time of day. Super Cars 2 meets Slicks 'N Slide, Outrun, Stunts, and The Need for Speed in modern 3D racing!

Race against the clock in a time trial, against computer opponents in single player, or against humans in online racing.

Race Modes

  • In RACE mode, you purely race on beautifully sweeping race tracks!

  • In STUNT mode, the tracks feature jumps, obstacles, and hazards, including trains, gates, bridge openings, animals, and hazards!

Key Features

  • Silky smooth powersliding / drifting (even with a keyboard)

  • Single Player and Online Multiplayer

  • Time-of-day (race at day, night, dusk, dawn)

  • Weather (including rain and snow)

  • Seasons (including beautiful autumns with falling leaves)

  • Pure racing game mode on beautiful winding race tracks

  • Stunt racing mode on crazy tracks with jumps and hazards

  • Optional armed combat racing with performance, armor, and weapon upgrades

Not A Simulator

SILKRUN is NOT a simulator. Suspension and traction are calculated for fun, controlled racing when playing with keyboard input, more like older games like Slick'n Slide. Get used to the physics and perfect your race lines, clip the apex, and have FUN sliding around the track!

Armed Combat Mode

I'm contemplating an ARMED COMBAT mode, where you upgrade your car after each race, like in Super Cars 2. Add missiles. Hire a mercenary riding shotgun. Add mines, oil dispensers, armor plates, engine upgrades, nitro boosts, and relive the Super Car-style carnage in a modern 3D racing game.
