About RACE THE SUN CHALLENGE EDITION
You are a solar-powered craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching speed boosts which reverse the setting sun - if only for a moment. Race The Sun: Daily Challenge Edition is inspired by arcade games of the past with a focus on high scores, short game sessions, and pure fun mingled with nerve-wracking tension. The rules are simple: don't crash, stay in the light, and don't slow down! This new edition of the game includes several new features including new alternate ships, colorful new trails, and a new "daily challenge" system that will test the skills of even the most experienced players.

What’s new
Version 1.36.1 · Updated November 5, 2026
New Features/Content: • Photo mode! Open it from the pause menu or the Customize screen. • Portal worlds: take as many portal trips as you like in a run. • Portals are larger, and more portals early in regions 2-4. • Portal worlds now have a seamless transition back to the overworld. • Trails now match the shape of your ship's jets on the Crawler, Natalus and Arrow. • Discord Rich Presence: your Discord friends can see when you're playing, which mode or portal world you're in, and your score. On iOS, link your Discord account in Options. Other Improvements/Fixes: • Daily challenge alternatives no longer repeat the main challenge's condition or the previous day's. • Fixed: The energy meter on the ship always looked full, even with 'Solar Energy Depleted' showing. • Fixed: Shallow ramps, like the bridges in Sunrise and Zen, didn't launch you. • Fixed: The store could get stuck loading forever. It now shows an error if it can't load. • Fixed: Buy buttons silently did nothing when purchases weren't available. • Fixed: Graphics settings no longer sync with cloud saves. • Fixed: Ship customizations properly sync in cloud saves now. • Fixed: Holes in some ships' shadows. • Fixed: The message banner didn't reach the screen edges on wide phones. • Fixed: Changing the camera view could show your ship during portal and shield sequences. • Fixed: The best-score marker hung in front of the crash and revive screens. • Fixed: A barrel roll cut short by a crash finished at the start of the next run. • Fixed: Dense Fog carried over to the main menu after a run. • Fixed: Thunderstorm lightning stopped after the first region. • Fixed: bug where jump button activated on release instead of press
