Neon laser jet-car racer Distance launches out of early access

Distance

Distance is an atmospheric racing platformer. Fusing futuristic arcade racing with parkour, survive a deadly, mysterious, neon-drenched city by jumping, rotating, and flying.

Distance‘s jet-powered flying cars have finally landed, only slightly singed by lasers as the racer escapes early access today. Nearly six years after a successful Kickstarter and almost four in early access, developers Refract have launched version 1.0 of their deathtrap-filled obstacle course – a lethal neon world that pulses to the beat.

Today’s release includes two new story driven “Adventure” campaigns (including a return to the city from Nitronic Rush, Distance’s student project predecessor), a pile of user-made tracks, random map generation, a powerful editor and VR support. Check out the launch trailer’s laser light show below.
