What is Distance?
This arcade racing platformer sends you through obstacle-filled courses in a dangerous neon-lit city, where you jump, rotate, ride walls, and fly to reach the end quickly. A short solo adventure has you pursue an ominous threat; arcade challenges, online and split-screen multiplayer, and a level editor provide other ways to play.

- +you value electronic music and a dark sci-fi atmosphere
- +you like racing ghosts or building and sharing tracks
Not for you if...
- −you want conventional racing without aerial maneuvers
