About the Game

Command your starfighter in this high-octane 2D arcade racer inspired by 16-bit classics. Drift through treacherous cosmic tracks, outsmart Lovecraftian entities, optimize shifting trade routes, and build the ultimate custom speed demon.

GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS

16-Bit Inspired High-Octane Racing

Experience a modern evolution of classic top-down 2D arcade racers. Navigate your way through an expansive campaign featuring dozens of treacherous tracks filled with cosmic traps, lethal hazards, and sharp turns designed to test your precision handling.

Collect Dozens of Ships

Amass a fleet of hyper-detailed starfighters. Combat ships shoot lasers at enemies. Espionage ships are fast but fragile. Research vessels come with high resistance and many power-ups. Merchant ships allow you to trade and deliver packages. Ship choice and loadout can mean the difference between success and failure.

Customize and Build

Change the appearance of your ship. Add and remove power-ups. Scavenge rare components while racing and fuse them together to build custom ships.

Choose a Character Class

Choose from nine character classes, each with unique bonuses and disadvantages. Change them whenever you please for a small price using the Eigenstate Realignment Matrix.

Shifting Interstellar Economies

Command your robotic companion, Lucas, to navigate a shifting "Travelling Salesman" gauntlet. Optimize flight paths through a dynamic, Elite-lite economy to trade valuable goods, bypass cosmic anomalies, and maximize your credit payout.

Cosmic Horror Meets Retro Power

Race to save your soulmate and impress the Great Old Ones in a high-stakes campaign spanning the dark corners of the Lovecraftian mythos. Between races, manage your ship, configure authentic vintage CRT filters, or feed your intergalactic cat, Fizzle, to uncover secret scrap.
