Some runs you race the clock. Some you just flow. RAD is a movement game built around speed and experimentation. Pump, jump, swing and glide through neon courses, race leaderboard ghosts, shave milliseconds off every run, and play it all to your own music. Instant restarts; one more run, every time.

About this game
OVERVIEW
Where speed is a feeling, not just a number. Choose a cybernetic body and drop into the Radius; a surreal world of jumps, swings, glides and split-second lines. Race your own ghost or a friend’s, climb the leaderboard, and chase the perfect run. Stream your own music, restart instantly, and keep the rhythm alive. Every run is one more chance to go faster.
STREAM YOUR OWN MUSIC
Run to your soundtrack. Pipe in your own music and let every jump, swing and glide fall into rhythm. No two players’ runs sound the same; and the best ones are made to be shared.
CAMPAIGN
Where it starts. Learn the flow, sync with your cybernetic body, and master every movement. Each level pushes you to cross the finish at full speed; beat it, and break into the next. Every run builds skill, speed and control.
LEVEL SELECT
No warm-up, no excuses. Drop into any unlocked level and go all out. Refine your route, sharpen your execution, and climb the leaderboard. Every millisecond matters.
FREE ROAM
Break the line. Revisit any unlocked sequence with no rules and no required path. Skip the markers, find your rhythm, and carve your own route through the neon. Experiment, explore, and move purely on instinct. This is your space to own.
RACE THE GHOSTS
Every run is recorded. Race your past self, chase a friend’s ghost, and climb global leaderboards. The gap between you and the top time is always just one more run away.
