Tonight was a Race The Sun kind of night. I wanted to touch the clouds, but alas I was off by a few jumps. Also checked out Labyrinth Mode a bit, but mostly practiced Apocalypse Mode, then I finished it off by playing endless sunrise.. Fun Fact: If you park yourself in a sweet spot during flight you’ll go several levels without hitting a fucking thing. I literally put the controller down and the terrain refused to murder me. I’ll celebrate tomorrow night by playing something with a bit more story to it.
Race The Sun
Fly Like An Eagle
For being a game about trying to go as long as you can without crashing into something it sure holds some surprises. I discovered this card world through one of the world portals.
Other than that I got a couple of achievements, and even made it to the highest level, which apparently is a rare achievement in itself… I’m guessing people got bored of the game after awhile. Eh, there’s just something about it that I like.
Since I made it to Level 25 the game rewarded me with a new level that can actually be finished! Whether or not I make it though is a story for another time. Of course, the game itself is far from over. I only have under half of the achievements, there will be more future visits.
Another Day, Another Achievement
Finally beat my personal record! Also made it to Level 20, apparently only 8% of other players have that achievement – So that makes me a rare falcon I guess. I earned a triple jump power up, allowing me to save up to three jump upgrades for when I REALLY need to get high.
It was fun! Fun enough that I can move along to something else tomorrow… perhaps something a little more hellish.
Gliding To My Weekend
Spent the evening chillaxin’ on the couch playing some Race The Sun, til Sundown. It was a relaxing few hours of ramming my ship full speed into different objects and leveling up, bit by bit. May go down, down, down, by the river tomorrow with Yutram if he’s around. Other than that I’ll probably futz over to one of the many other games needing to be finished.
I also did about an hour of sifting through video footage, maaaaaay have potentially found more stuff to animate. I probably won’t be releasing any videos this month, currently in the planning ahead portion of my present video hiatus. Gotta properly plan my nightmare fuel! 😛
Soaring Along
Went on a semi-peaceful flight this evening, semi-peaceful because of the chance of crashing into shit. When I wasn’t running into objects and fixtures at high speeds I did better on each flight, and even earned a couple achievements for it!
I’ve been feeling kinda out of it this evening. Something tells me this weekend will need to be a chill one for me, feeling a bit under the weather and only one day of work left. I foresee a long winter nap in my weekend future.
GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT
There was a severe lack of sun in my life today, and what little of it was witnessed lacked any warmth. So it only made sense for me to chase a fictitious sun, with no other reward other than a couple achievements and some computer generated warmth. I also played a bit on Steam Deck while doing a couple more SFM renders. One of these nights I’ll have to check out the Steam Workshop, they have quite a few custom maps to choose from! But like many other games in my collection, it will have to wait another day. Gotta keep a healthy rotation!
Race The Sun & Shoot For The Moon
I got Race The Sun as a freebie I can’t remember how long ago, and I only remembered it when I started getting into Whisker Squadron Survivor when I realized they were the same devs. A few sales ago I even picked up the additional night flight DLC, it was cheap and given that I got the base game for free I figured, why not?
My day lacked much sun. It was a film noir kind of day, fit with the sound of rain and the perfect atmosphere for sloshing down warm beverages. So the idea of racing the sun was an illuminating idea to me. It takes some getting used to, especially since I’m used to the Whisker Squadron layout. But each round I always made it a little bit further! Each new attempt was a new chance to explore the vast landscape of blocks and collectables. It was a nice way to end the evening.
Fun way to kill an hour. 🙂
