PolyRace (2016)

PolyRace delivers a thrilling, high-speed futuristic racing experience amplified by its dynamic procedural level generation. Players select from four distinct hovercrafts, each boasting unique physics and eye-catching sci-fi hulls. Navigate diverse, procedurally shaped terrains featuring valleys, hills, and mountains, seamlessly blending sweeping straightaways with tight, challenging curves. Careful management of your shield is paramount as you hurtle through these randomized tracks, crafted by a sophisticated procedural algorithm. With four difficulty levels and three distinct environmental landscapes – desert, continental, and arctic – every race offers a fresh and unpredictable challenge. Engage with friends in turn-based multiplayer or test your skills against the spectral echoes of past opponents. The game caters to varied playstyles, whether you're a dedicated Time Attack racer, a Distance champion, or a fan of endless pursuit. Conquer developer ghosts in challenging Missions, and prove your mettle against the global community in the daily Race of the Day. Support for both keyboard and gamepad ensures accessibility, all set to an exhilarating soundtrack. PolyRace embodies the spirit of innovation and engaging gameplay that Plug In Digital champions.
