Overview
Speed Goes Up, developed and published by Verx, is a single-player arcade racer with a twist: it's also an incremental game. Released on November 2, 2026, this colorful, stylized title focuses on making the number climb—both your lap times and your in-game economy.
Instead of competing against AI opponents, you're racing against the clock and your own past performance, turning every lap into a chance to earn and reinvest.
Highlights
- Incremental Racing Loop: Complete laps to earn Bits, then spend them on upgrades for speed, handling, drift, and boost. The more you invest, the faster and more efficient your runs become.
- Ghost System: Record your best lap and purchase a Ghost that replays it. Each time your Ghost finishes, it earns a share of the lap reward, creating a passive income stream from your own skill.
- Timed Challenges & Mastery: Continuous time trials keep your latest and fastest laps on the clock, while timed lap challenges reward precise driving. Long-term lap mastery unlocks lasting payout bonuses, encouraging persistence.
Who It's For
If you enjoy arcade racers with a progression hook, or if you're a fan of incremental games like Cookie Clicker but want something more active, Speed Goes Up blends both genres. It's also a great pick for players who like chasing personal bests and optimizing routes, thanks to the Ghost system that turns your best performance into a money-making asset.
