Distance

[Pixel of Life]

"Distance is a survival racing game that combines the intense action of arcade racing with the exploration of an atmospheric world. You control a unique car that allows you to boost, jump, rotate, and even fly through a chaotic and twisted city. The world has a mysterious history, and as you explore you'll be able to uncover pieces of its past.

The roads are treacherous and unpredictable with obstacles around every corner. Instead of doing laps on a loop, you'll be trying to survive to the end in the quickest time. Since your car has several abilities, it allows you to not only drive fast on the track but also upside down and on buildings and walls! You can also fly to discover new shortcuts and paths. You'll be able to take on the roads alone, or in multiplayer with your friends!

The game is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning game Nitronic Rush, created by ourselves and 8 others while attending DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was widely praised for its innovative mechanics, visual style, audio design, and atmosphere."

Has anyone else tried this? I bought it a couple days ago (It's $20/20€/£15 on Steam). I've played it for 5 hours now and I gotta say, it's one of the most interesting racing games I've played. I highly recommend buying this if you're a fan of Trackmania, Wip3out or other fast-paced racing games. It looks very promising already, and it's only going to get better. It's a bit expensive at the moment, so you might want to keep an eye out for any sales if you're not willing to spend 20 bucks on an early access game.

Finally, some gameplay. This is my best run on "Monolith", one of the most difficult official Sprint maps in the game:
