We have been working on an Android version of Race the Sun, and it will be ready for release on Google Play soon. We are still working out the details of a release date and exactly what devices we can support, but we know that the game will have the same features as the iOS version, including leaderboards, achievements, and a world that regenerates daily.
Android Beta Testers Wanted
We will be running a closed beta for those who want to test the game early. You can sign up here if you would like to apply to be a beta tester.
Thanks to everyone who has requested an Android version — we are super pumped that we can finally make it happen.

Sunrise DLC for Race The Sun is here!
Hello everybody!
First, before I get into the good stuff, let me just officially introduce myself. My name is Drew and I am the new Flippfly Community & Customer Support Manager. This means you'll start to see me join discussions and post announcements like these. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll still hear from Aaron and Forest some, too.
I'm also the first person you speak with over at our support forum and through our primary Twitter and Facebook accounts. I will be lurking everywhere. ...But enough about me!
For some time, our players have been asking for a "zen" type mode for Race The Sun. And we’ve been listening! Today we launched a $1.99 DLC here on Steam, called Sunrise. This beautiful new mode has all the speed of the original but without a setting sun, an increasing difficulty, or a leaderboard. Just settle in and zone out for one infinite region of bliss. Go check it out!
We’re looking forward to hear what you think! Please leave us your comments!
RTS Update
Along with this newly available DLC, we have also made some updates to the game including new features we think you're going to love!
First-Person Camera Mode: at the press of a button ("c" on your keyboard by default) race with a cockpit view from within the ship!
Friend's Highscores in the Sky: now you can literally see yourself passing your friend’s scores without leaving the main course!
We're very excited about these updates and hope you are, too! Please let us know what you think of the new features.
And I look forward to talking with you in the Discussions section. If you ever experience any strange behavior with Race The Sun or need help with your Flippfly account or other Flippfly products, please head over to our support forum and I will see what I can do for you.
Race The Sun Fan + Flippfly Community & Customer Support Manager
Oculus support (Beta) available
