What's New in RACE THE SUN CHALLENGE EDITION

1.36.1

November 5, 2026

New Features/Content: • Photo mode! Open it from the pause menu or the Customize screen. • Portal worlds: take as many portal trips as you like in a run. • Portals are larger, and more portals early in regions 2-4. • Portal worlds now have a seamless transition back to the overworld. • Trails now match the shape of your ship's jets on the Crawler, Natalus and Arrow. • Discord Rich Presence: your Discord friends can see when you're playing, which mode or portal world you're in, and your score. On iOS, link your Discord account in Options. Other Improvements/Fixes: • Daily challenge alternatives no longer repeat the main challenge's condition or the previous day's. • Fixed: The energy meter on the ship always looked full, even with 'Solar Energy Depleted' showing. • Fixed: Shallow ramps, like the bridges in Sunrise and Zen, didn't launch you. • Fixed: The store could get stuck loading forever. It now shows an error if it can't load. • Fixed: Buy buttons silently did nothing when purchases weren't available. • Fixed: Graphics settings no longer sync with cloud saves. • Fixed: Ship customizations properly sync in cloud saves now. • Fixed: Holes in some ships' shadows. • Fixed: The message banner didn't reach the screen edges on wide phones. • Fixed: Changing the camera view could show your ship during portal and shield sequences. • Fixed: The best-score marker hung in front of the crash and revive screens. • Fixed: A barrel roll cut short by a crash finished at the start of the next run. • Fixed: Dense Fog carried over to the main menu after a run. • Fixed: Thunderstorm lightning stopped after the first region. • Fixed: bug where jump button activated on release instead of press

Good, but kinda scummy

I have a lot of fun with this game. However, it is laced with ads,everywhere. For a peaceful game, there are way too many.
