A racing game where you can turn time backwards

Here we have a simple game with a great idea. Move your ship left or right tilting your device and pass through blue gates to increase your speed multiplier. When you reach 10x, time will run backwards, making it possible, at least in theory and in some stages, to reach a 0" time. Hence the title of the game.

This game's so simple, so fast and so addictive that you can play the same race time after time in order to scratch a single hundredth without getting bored. The tronnish set helps a lot to feel the vertiginous speed and music has that adequate je ne sais pas to fit in.

We Came From Mars has made a great game. It can't achieve a better rating because it lacks a lot of options we could consider standard: there's only one ship, records can be uploaded via OpenFeint but you can't compete against anyone at the same time (nor even a ghost or something), and all the rest of it. It can sound weird, but it's just a great game.

This complete version allows access to the whole game.

Developer's original description available here
"Anyone who suffers from something similar to vertigo will really enjoy this game" -- DroidGamers

"What really blew me away with this game was the speed..." -- AndroidTapp

Return Zero is a beautiful, psychedelic, ultrafast 3D tunnel racer. If racing past mad-fast, frantic mazes set out in virtual, TRON like worlds is your thing, then Return Zero is definitely the game for you.

    Music is a little goofy. Game is cool but music makes it seem uncool. Should be more like From Legacy soundtrack.

    Lots of fun and quite challenging. Works really well when connected to a big screen TV! Only complaints are that it's no longer supported and the hey zap permissions & notification ad

    Gave one star on principal. Showed ad in notification pane for a social app. This is abuse of the notification pane. Big no no. Otherwise great game.
