Scoreboards are down until 13th of Jan.
I apologize. But they will be back up next weekend.
Your previous scores are safe, and the game is unaffected by this.

October Update 2

Video Settings


Video quality settings added. Game now scales from 560ti to being able to challenge 1080ti.

Modern GPU's should be able to run MachRace on High settings.

Resolution list has been cleaned up to only include most common resolutions.
Window mode can be run in any resolution, although that will likely change with future release.

Persistent Settings


Now game will remember your resolution, your last selected ship, and your quality settings.

October Update 1
MachRace is moving closer and closer to release. There is still quiet a bit of work left, but almost all of foundation is done.

In this release:

  • Updated engine to 4.16.3. This includes drastic tone mapper update, and speed improvements.
  • Added level 2 boss - the drone swarm. Inspired by early arcades like Galaga. There will be more work done on this, feature, but the foundation is there.
  • Adjusted game difficulty to make it easier to kill the first boss.
  • Level 2 Drone Swarm will theoretically let the player accelerate indefinitely, this will be removed in the future, and might affect scoreboards.


Next release will be coming shortly with Level3 gameplay.

Scoreboards Reset
Scoreboard has been updated along with the game code to more secure system when submitting scores.

Scoreboards have been reset as a result.

Enjoy setting new records!

You can now change your callsign, and have it be reflected immediately once you refresh the scoreboard in-game.

Small Update




  • Added ability to change resolutions. It does not yet save the settings.
  • Fixed small bug on Level 1 Boss - wouldn't stop shooting ammo even after player has crashed and game is over.


Need your help!


If MachRace is asking you for admin rights to install Microsoft Redistributable (or anything else) on every launch, please let me know in comments. I am working on a fix, but don't know how many people are affected. Also please let me know if this doesn't happen.
