About This Game

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.

turning feels a little stiff, but definitely scratches that itch I been waiting for since F-Zero GX back in 2003. Very much enjoy the music as well, a good racing game goes hand-in-hand with a good soundtrack.

Great retro f zero vibe. Handling is spot on. Music is nice. Guys big loud voice is irritating. I know it's retro but would like the vehicles to have a little more detail. Lots to do and loads of fun to be had. Would be nice if you could fire weapons while not flying. Excellent game and nice price.

Star Racer is definitely a great time! Combines elements of F-Zero, StarFox, and even some Mario Kart together into one package. And while the game is in 1.0 already, the devs are still working on getting even smoother optimization and (according to their updates here) eventually online multiplayer. Definitely worth the cost of admission. See my First Impressions of the gameplay here: https://youtu.be/mgDp9tRBddo

Updated after latest game update, a couple of more hours played, and a response from the developers. Overall impression C. I have to say I am impressed, and have changed my mind as to recommend or not. The developers have been very responsive to user feedback and have adjusted the police mechanic to where it is not as punishing. They even took the time to respond to my review with a very detailed message. I have to tip my hat to them for that. I will admit, as the designer politely pointed out to me in their message there are ways that are explained in the tutorial to avoid the laser turrets. I did not use those mechanics enough in multiple races to avoid getting hit. I will take the blows I deserve. That is certainly one I will stand there and take. This is an old school racing game. It is meant to be tough. I will take that blow too. However, there is a thin line between tough and unforgiving to the the point of frustration. I have played carting and racing games for a long, long t...
