Plan your next Race The Sun session
Our independent guide helps you explore Race The Sun’s core systems without relying on hidden tricks. By observing how each documented feature interacts, you can fine‑tune your approach, compare options, and enjoy the game’s high‑speed tension across all supported platforms.
01 / THE GUIDE
Timing the Sunset
Track how long each energy boost extends the light. Note the difference between early‑run and late‑run boosts to gauge optimal collection moments.
- Observe how energy boosts affect the sunset timing before committing to risky maneuvers.
- Try to complete objectives early in a run to maximize upgrade opportunities.
02 / THE GUIDE
Attachment Impact
Run two short sessions, one with the faster‑turning attachment and one without. Compare handling in tight sections to see if the attachment improves navigation.
- Experiment with turning attachments if you find tight corridors challenging.
- Use decals to differentiate ships when testing different upgrade paths.
03 / THE GUIDE
Editor Simplicity
Design a minimal world with a single obstacle. Play it to assess how the procedural engine adapts, then gradually add complexity.
- Start with simple terrain to test how your ship handles new obstacles.
- Share your worlds to see how others tackle your designs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Portal Exploration
Enter a portal after reaching ship level 10. Record how the user‑created world’s difficulty feels versus the base world.
- Visit portals after you feel comfortable with the base world to test new difficulty levels.
- Explore the Apocalypse world once you have high ship levels for a balanced challenge.
05 / THE GUIDE
VR vs. Standard View
Play the same short run in VR (Windows) and on a monitor. Compare perceived speed and control comfort to decide which view suits you best.
- If you have a VR headset, try the Windows version for a new sense of speed.
- Use remote play on a TV to enjoy the game from a distance while keeping controller input.
