Game pageDistance: learn to flow through a hostile track

A car becomes a way to jump, flip and fly through danger. Reviews enjoy the moment these movements start to flow together.
The appeal is not just speed: players also remember the campaign’s unsettling atmosphere and music.
What makes it fun
Line up the landing
Chain jumps, flips and flight to land on a tilted road. It feels good when that landing flows straight into your next move.
Keep driving into the mystery
In the campaign, unsettling sights and sounds accompany your drive through a neon city. The mystery draws you deeper into it.
Chase a ghost, find a new line
In Arcade, chase a ghost and adjust your jump points or route to cut your time. Going for medals can reveal another way through a familiar track.
