Radiant Rush

There are a lot of things that people seem to like about the '80s, but the idea of neon cars against neon backgrounds like in Radiant Rush is near the top. You've been given a car that has the power to drive along tracks full of neon and light. It's not the safest place to drive, but it still looks cool. Now you need to make it look cool by driving smoothly along the light and to keep the road going by collecting the light. If you do that, then you can keep the drive going and see just how far you can go into the distance.

About Radiant Rush

When you're given a flashy car, it's only natural that you'll want to go as fast as you can with all the risk of crashing keeping you on edge. This game will throw literal edges at you to keep you on your toes and your feet on the pedals. What you need to worry about is the fact that cars weren't designed to drive along light and therefore there's a lot of loose physics at play here. If you don't keep that in mind, then you'll lose the car and your neon vaporwave drive will end in your ride getting turned into light particles.

How to Play

Radiant Rush is a 3D driving game about driving along light tracks and collecting light using the mouse or keyboard. To move the car with the mouse, click the Left Mouse Button and move the cursor to the left or right. For the keyboard, press the A/D keys to steer the car as it will accelerate on its own. The goal is to reach the finish line at the end of each level. If the car goes too far off the track, it'll be destroyed and you'll have to try again.

The main menu will let you start from where you left off or you can choose any of the levels you've already completed. When you start, the car will spawn at the beginning of a stretch of road with the finish line in the distance. From there, the car will start accelerating and you need to make sure that it stays on the road. As you drive, you'll come across light cubes which you can collect to improve your score. The finish line is marked by a light barrier and you simply need to drive through it to finish the level.

Tips and Tricks

As mentioned previously, the car physics is quite loose so the car will slide quite easily around the track. The bar at the bottom is a decent indicator of how hard you are turning, so be careful not to go too hard in one direction. Try to always bring the car back to the center where it has the most room to maneuver.
