Racing Platforming Hybrid Distance Enters Early Access Today
Distance, one of the highlights of my indie booth exploration at PAX earlier this year, enters early access today.
Distance recalls the aesthetic and gravity and speed defying physics of games like Extreme-G and F-Zero, with the addition of flight and a jump button. I enjoyed my time with the game at PAX and was happy to see the game announced for PlayStation 4 recently.
To jump in the game early is $19.99 (currently discounted to $16.99). You can find the game's Steam page here. You can check out the game's early access trailer below.
Our Take
In general, I am not particularly fond of paying for a game early to play an incomplete version. I understand the benefit from a developer perspective though, and am excited to see Distance moving along its development smoothly.
