Fusing futuristic arcade which blends together arcade-style racing with parkour, survive a deadly, mysterious, neon-drenched city by jumping, rotating, parkour and flying.

a touch of horror, forcing players to drive through deadly Sectors by making good use of the car's abilities to jump, rotate and even fly.
'''Distance''' has two complete campaigns which players can go through. The first, simply known as the Adventure Mode, tasks players to race through The Array to stop a mysterious threat. Meanwhile, the second, Lost to Echoes, harkens back to a game which the members of Refract Studios made before they became Refract: VideoGame/NitronicRush - allowing players to return to the setting and face a new threat to Nitronic City.
Not to be confused with the forum roleplay game, Roleplay/{{Distance}}.

* DifficultySpike: Lost to Echos is considerably harder than the Adventure Mode.
* FlyingCar: Your car can spread wings in the form of their front doors and fly for a short period of time before the core overheats. Some levels however either disable this entirely or have areas which corrupt your ability to fly, forcing you to platform through the level.
* LargeHam: The announcer from VideoGame/NitronicRush is back, and he's just as much of a large ham here as he was back then.
* NitroBoost: As an ability - but mustn't be overused, otherwise your car will overheat and explode.
