THE CORE GAME
We call Race The Sun an "infinite speed experience". It uses arcade-like controls and is set in a procedurally generated world with an increasing difficulty ramp. The goal is to get the highest possible score by racing into the sunset, avoiding obstacles and enemies, and collecting speed boosts and other powerups to help you along the way. You fly a solar-powered craft, and the game ends at sundown, if you can make it that far!

THE SIMPLEX WORLD CREATOR
The world creator will be included right in the game, allowing anyone to make unique new game modes (or modify existing ones) and share them in a special "user worlds" screen for all to see. Unique interactive objects can be created, styled, and animated right in the game - with no programming knowledge. These could be simple things like falling blocks, or more detailed things like a flock of birds - it's totally up to you!

CO-OP MULTIPLAYER
You'll be able to team-up with other players in an asynchronous relay race. Here's how it will work:
When your round ends, you'll be able to invite other players to pick up your "life force", where you died. This will create a sharable hyperlink that allows another player to pick up where you left off. When they die, they will be able to share a link, and so on, and so forth. This process will continue until all of your team's life force is depleted, at which point your team's combined score will be posted to a special leader-board. We'd love to develop this feature and help foster a community of active players who compete together. Maybe people will even form clans!


OTHER PLANNED FEATURES
We plan to add at-least one additional game mode, as well as a deep player leveling system with tons of objectives and achievements. This system will also allow you to unlock ship customizations like faster turning, protective shield, and badges that you can apply to your ship.

ABOUT FLIPPFLY:
Flippfly consists of two brothers who quit their day jobs to create games independently for PC and mobile devices. Forest (art, design, audio) comes from a graphic design background, and Aaron (programming, design) spent 7 years in the "AAA" game industry prior to joining Flippfly. He worked on such titles as Marvel:Ultimate Alliance, Singularity, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Our hope is to create high-value entertainment that's fairly priced, a blast to play, and that won't employ abusive monetization schemes!
