About the Game
RACE ON GALACTIC CUP & VARIOUS MODES
Compete in the Galactic Cup championship and unlock elite ranks. Test your skills across four distinct race types: chase the ultimate victory in Laps, beat the clock in Time Trial, outlast the countdown in Elimination, or push your reflexes in the hyper-fast Speed Up mode.
DEFY GRAVITY ON EXTREME TRACKS
This isn't traditional racing. The track is just as dangerous as your rivals. Race through extreme environments with loops, wall-rides, and huge vertical drops. Master high-speed drifting, because one mistake means total destruction.
UPGRADE & CUSTOMIZE YOUR DART
Your dart is your weapon. Visit the garage to upgrade and customize your machine. Improve your Top Speed, Acceleration, Boost, and Handling to match upcoming tracks. Then, choose your hull design and paint job to stand out in the dark of space.
MASTER THE CONTROLS
Dodge obstacles and race on the edge of control. Play on a standard monitor for arcade precision, or choose VR mode for ultimate immersion, where you physically grab virtual levers to control engine thrust. Use the Boost for explosive speed, but watch your gauge so you don't run out of power.
STARTING GRID IS WAITING
Ready to take on the galaxy? Grab Dart Racer and defy gravity!

Racers!Thank you all for the fantastic reception of the Dart Racer Early Access. It's heart-warming to see you all making your way up in the leader boards, and it's great to hear all of the feedback from you all. This makes it so much more fun to work on the game! And that's what today's update is all about - more fun. And by more fun I mean more speed, and more risk. Introducing Xotka the dart of the daring. It's very fast, very fragile, and quite tricky to handle. It's a perfect choice for these of you, who look for higher scores and want to prove their skill.Speaking of proving yourself - there's a new way to compete with other players in the leader boards. Their best attempts are now saved online, and can serve as online ghosts you can race against. This way, you're competing right there on the track - not just in the high-score table.To celebrate the occasion, Dart Racer enters its very first post-release discount. You can get the game 20% off, and throw yourself into a world of extreme speeds where gravity is but a joke. Get it now!
