What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access offers you the opportunity to play an active role in our development process and directly influence the evolution of Dart Racer.
By joining us early, you become part of our passionate community, contributing valuable feedback that helps us refine and enhance the game.
As a small team, your support is crucial in making Dart Racer the best it can be. Together, let's create a racing experience that exceeds all expectations!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate early access to last at least nine months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During early access we will be releasing regular content and polish updates.
Once we reach full version, the game will feature significantly more content, such as campaign, tracks, dart variants, upgrades, customizations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's early! Currently it is possible to race on multiple tracks against ai opponents with lap based game mode. Tracks are unlocked by reaching top spot. There is a basic dart and advanced dart model that can be modified by swapping its parts. Dart color can be changed. Additional darts, race tracks and galaxy cup are in planning stages. When early access releases we intend to have additional upgradeable dart models, at least double current track count, more game modes, basic single player campaign (Galaxy Cup) and expanded dart customisation.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price may increase as development progresses.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Whenever possible, the development process will incorporate feedback, bug reports, and suggestions from the community. That can be done on our Steam Community forum or Discord server!”

About This 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!
