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 5 others at DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was widely praised for its innovative mechanics, visual style, audio design, and atmosphere.

Key Features

Adventure: A single player experience which unveils a short story about this world's mysterious past.
Multiplayer: Online, LAN, and Split-Screen play in modes such as Sprint, Reverse Tag, Stunt, and others.
Trackmogrify: Random track generation with seed modifiers.
VR: Experimental Oculus DK2 integration.
Level editor: Use a powerful level editor to create levels from within the game and share them with players around the world.
Original soundtrack: New music from the composer behind award-winning games like Nitronic Rush, Solace, and The Fourth Wall. Listen to a preview here.

Hey everyone! We just released another build on the experimental branch. It contains previews of new systems like replays, arcade mode level unlocking, the stats system, and more!

As always we're still pushing forward with Adventure mode behind the scenes, but we wanted to get some of these features out as soon as possible to see how the community feels about them. We'll be building on them based on feedback. Let us know what you think in the forums !

Slightly optimized level loading times

Updated the way points are displayed everywhere so that commas are displayed in the numbers (1,000 vs 1000) to unify the way they are displayed in the game
Now the standings text will update itself dynamically while it is displayed instead of it just updating when it first pops up
Changed min FOV on spectate/replay free cam to 30°
Spectate and track cams no longer have radial blur or chromatic aberration based on car speed
