## What is Scorcher?

Scorcher is the all-new blazing-fast infinite racer from Radiangames, creator of Inferno 2 and Super Crossfighter.  Pilot your Scorcher through treacherous twists and turns as your ship steadily increases in speed until you're in the zone and your reflexes take over to keep you alive as long as possible.

### 5/5 — Another classic radiangame title.

*2025-09-15, version 1.1*

Easy to pick up, controls well, pretty and allows your own music (not that the default isn’t fitting.) It’s great for a quick play. 

It just needs instructions on speeding up the sandworm (I feel like a dullard for not getting past 42 on the first stage.)

### 1/5 — Кусок платного г.

*2022-01-25*

Никаких плюсов, кроме списания средств

### 2/5 — Unreadable UI

*2020-12-23, version 1.1*

The game seems ok. But the UI color palette is too pale and has no contrast in relation to its background. Therefore it’s very hard to see and read any text. I’d like to play the game, but not to be blinded by its scorchness. LOL Some additional settings to control the text color would be welcome.

### 3/5 — Seems fun but too hard too early

*2020-09-23, version 1.1*

Why make the second level so frustratingly difficult? Shouldn’t the average player be able to finish a second level in under 30 tries? Could be fun but giving up after finishing only the first canyon. Wish I could have my $3 back.

### 5/5 — Very Fun Game!

*2020-02-25, version 1.1*

I bought this after watching your GDC talk on YouTube. Big fan! I’ve always been a fan of high score chasers. The gif sharing tool is super cool too!

### 5/5 — Awesome Game!

*2019-08-23, version 1.1*

I’ve been a fan of Radiangames since discovering them through the Indie Games channel on the Xbox 360, and just discovered them again on my iPad. Scorcher is terrific- it looks and sounds terrific and it’s easy to play with an appropriate ramp-up in challenge as you go along. Well done!

### 4/5 — Sounds

*2019-08-11, version 1.1*

Needs more audio work. Needs ship sound effect and worm sound effect.

### 2/5 — Sand Worms.  Nice Graphics

*2019-07-27, version 1.1*

really boring to play sorry!  Deleted it. Just not much of a game that I find interesting.   It’s just to boring.  The graphics are good,  but game play is mediocre.

### 5/5 — Niiiiice

*2019-04-13, version 1.1*

I bought this cause it’s premium and looked fun. I thought about asking for a Switch port but I think this plays better on iPad than it would on Switch, but who knows 🤷‍♀️ I just know I enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — Fun and unique

*2019-04-11, version 1.1*

I love sandworms
