A calmer way to play — plus a fresh coat of paint

Quick development update on Rhythm Racer. Thanks for wishlisting — here's what's new.

Cruise Mode

Not every run has to be a score chase. Cruise Mode is built for longer songs and longer sessions: one continuous drive through ever-changing tubes while your playlist rolls on. Same music-reactive world, far less pressure. The wind-down mode for when you just want to ride.

Country color palettes

Tube and rail customization now includes country-inspired color presets — UK, Ireland, Wales, USA, India and more — matching the ship customization themes. Style the whole world to match your vibe.

Under the hood

  • Smoother visuals and a fix for a sun-rendering glitch on certain tracks

  • Reworked multiplayer AI so Easy/Medium/Hard/Expert opponents feel fair and natural

  • Cleaner cursor handling during races

  • Lots of polish from ongoing testing

More to come. If this sounds like your kind of game, the best thing you can do is keep it on your wishlist and tell one friend who loves their music.

Drop the needle. Hit the tube.
