2-4 Player Couch Chaos
To turn your laptop or living room into a space-time arena, all you need is a keyboard & mouse and another person you don't mind being temporary mortal enemies with. To maximize competitive shouting/gloating, you'll need 2 or more controllers for four players. -
Superluminal Trails
Missiles don't just launch, they trail and richochet and shatter and cascade in a web of space-time. Keep your wits about you and adapt your tactics, or jump headfirst and enjoy the show. -
A Sci-Fi Rainbow of Ships
Though all vehicles are outfitted with the same specs, we all know the coolest ship with the coolest paint job is going to win. -
3 New Ways to Play

Your trails make the map: each round you dive and spiral deeper into the lattice you build.

Chaotic Anomaly
Rapid-fire rounds in a shifting arena where trails accelerate after each bounce and insta-kill.

Galactic Tour
Build a tour from 25 maps, whether it be a 3-round grudge match or a journey across the galaxy and back.
