Bought this game last week after following it from the begining. Its really fucking good.
Distance is somewhere in my top 10 of indies. Its amazing. There's no end of community levels
Just a quick note: -Reverse Tag is a ton of fun--basically it's a mobile king of the hill where you try and keep the sphere on your car for as long as possible. Shameless plug, but [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58Rgg8l9MW4]here's[/url] some of my gameplay I recorded a long time ago when I played with the devs (it was in alpha so the graphics are no where near as good as it is now!). -Stunt mode is basically just exploration. -Soccer mode was added waaaaay before Rocket League as sort of a test. They haven't done much with it recently. -Adventure mode has a really neat story and a horror element with it--something that's pretty uncommon with a racing game. -There's also VR support. Like, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feGt4AEM9z4]wicked VR support[/url]. He didn't touch up on the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/233610/workshop/]workshop[/url], however there's some really [i]really[/i] good tracks out there already.

Yes, the game is still in beta/early access, however once the game actually releases, it'll have all this stuff ready on launch. Torcht is also really active on Twitter and posts neat upcoming stuff.

I backed them on Kickstarter about 3 years ago I think, and they just keep pumping out new updates. I'm glad that they care about their user base and their game, and not leaving it behind like some other kickstarters I've seen. Finally, there's some big update coming Monday. Can't wait to see what they have in store.
I'll wait for the proper release, but I'll certainly pick it up by then.
Distance is incredible, definitely my favourite racing game of all time. Playing split screen with mates is a blast, especially with the randomly generated tracks.
Jesus, that's what Oney actually sounds like?
Man I was a huge fan of the original Rush 2049 that they based Nitronic Rush off of from way back in the day [thumb]http://i2.listal.com/image/1308452/600full-san-francisco-rush-2049-screenshot.jpg[/thumb] and I loved Nitronic Rush, and now Distance is pretty much top tier. Me and a friend did some attempts together at doing timed runs and even scored some world records back when we really into it (I'm Elspin, friend is Balimbanana)!

I think this game might just go the distance.
Distance is actually my favorite driving game next to Burnout Paradise. Shit's awesome.
