Buckle up and reach for the stars! Star Racer is a high-octane combat racer that takes the streets to new dangerous heights. Inspired by retro classics, Star Racer combines speed, strategy, and sky-splitting action across a universe of wild tracks and unpredictable challenges. Take the fight and leave your rivals in the stardust with gravity-defying glides, split-second reflexes, and devastating attacks. Boost through the streets, soar through the skies, and crush the competition in fast-paced, combat-fueled races. Manage your energy between boosting and healing, and unleash your arsenal to dominate on the ground or in the air. Cross the finish line by any means necessary! Face more than just your opponents—each track is filled with perilous hazards ready to end your run. Blaze across icy terrain, lava-covered courses, and chaotic, bouncy roads. Watch out for mines, turrets, and other destructive traps waiting to send you flying. The race doesn't end there. Event Races are a wild twist on traditional racing where the rules change every time. Survive lava-drenched courses, dodge mysterious interlopers, or tackle precision-based 'break the targets' challenges. Create your own adrenaline-fuel races with the robust Track Editor, now featuring online functionality. Upload your creations, browse community tracks, and challenge racers from around the world. Shape the road, set the hazards, and let others test their mettle on your custom circuits. Key Features: Heart-Pounding Races: Engage in intense, high-speed battles across intergalactic racetracks. Drift, boost, fire, and soar your way to the front of the pack with cunning strategy and split-second reflexes! But beware the cosmic dangers that lie ahead. Only the most skilled racers will survive the chaos and claim victory. Concrete & Clouds: Leave the competition in the dust—both on the ground and in the skies! Experience high-octane action with gravity-defying glides and aerial combat. Blaze across pavement, soar through the stars, and make your rivals eat stardust. Track Editor: Unleash your creativity with a powerful, dynamic track editor. Build challenging circuits, share them with friends, and master the most daring designs. The race is yours to shape! Event Races: Think fast, adapt faster. Event Races turn traditional racing upside down with wild, unpredictable challenges. Dash across tracks consumed by lava, fend off unexpected interlopers, or master precision-based “break the targets” trials. With fresh scenarios rotating in, no two races are ever the same—only the bold will survive the madness. Local Multiplayer: Grab up to three friends and dive into split-screen madness! With support for up to 4 players in local multiplayer, Star Racer turns every couch into a launchpad for wild, competitive fun. Featured Tracks by Grant Kirkhope: In addition to music from Mason Lieberman and Jules Conroy, legendary composer Grant Kirkhope brings his signature flair to the cosmos. Known for classics like Banjo-Kazooie , GoldenEye 007 , and Mario + Rabbids , his signature sound fuels select tracks with epic energy. Lastly, we want to note that no generative AI was used to create any of the art assets used in the game. We believe in paying artists for their time, expertise, and passion. 

Press reviews: “One of the best parts of playing this game is experiencing the art style and music. Every character, every song, every corner or boost pad on a track, is made with pixel precision and sounds fantastic!” 8 – Console Creatures “Even if you’re not amazing at the racing genre, I think you’ll find a lot to enjoy in Star Racer. It’s bombastic, funny and full of content.” Hey Poor Player “Finally, I can't not mention that another character in the demo's a detective-looking fella called Thrash Whiplash, which has to be at least milling around the pantheon of best video game names to ever video game name.” Rock Paper Shotgun
