AudioSpeed is Ticon Blu's first attempt at a high speed racing challenge. In the far future, pilots race not cars, but starships on a number of orbital tracks. With high gravity, hyperspacial acceleration and hazards such as nebulae this is an extremely dangerous sport. The main tournament of the game takes place on 7 tracks, culminating in a showdown at the system Hydra, where only the toughest pilots will survive.
In the game you can choose from one of a number of starships which differ in stats such as top speed, maneuverability, armour and acceleration, as well as the efficiency of their robo navigator. You can then either practice racing on one of the first five tournament tracks, or enter the tournament itself. Sinse however in the tournament if you fail to get a good enough time you'll be disqualified, a good racing knolidge is needed.
Controlling your ship is easy, simply use the arrows (mac and Pc), or tilt your device (Ios), to steer your ship, with the up and down arrows or forward and backwards tilts controlling your throttle. Use either spacebar or taps of the screen to activate boosters to give you an extra kick when you need it. What is far more difficult however is learning the precise movements necessary. A number of beeps will warn you when your getting too close to the tracks, and the different robo navigator models will provide information about upcoming curves and hazards, however learning how to take curves precisely and control your ship at optimum speed is quite a skill. Take too many hits (more than your armour can stand), and your ship will be destroyed eben before you finish the race.
