Race The Sun APK download for Android: the game and how it plays

Race The Sun comes from the American studio Flippfly LLC. It first launched in 2013 on PC, OS X and Linux, then came to PS3, PS4 and PS Vita. A Wii U version followed in 2015 and an Xbox One version in 2017. The Android version arrived in the second quarter of 2019 and keeps everything that made the original popular.

The game is an endless runner set in an abstract 3D world with a striking look. Your craft runs on solar power, so when the sun goes down, you run out of energy. To survive, you race toward the setting sun and stay in its light as long as you can.

The rules are simple: don’t crash, stay in the light and don’t slow down. The challenge comes from the obstacles in your path and from the constant race against the clock. Grab pickups that add time, and use boosters to gain speed. The game runs at 60 frames per second, so the action stays smooth even at top speed.
