AFAR is described as a competitive multiplayer game for PC/browser where 25 players compete against each other in 4-minute battles of 4 rounds. Each round has different challenges and is a mix of obstacle courses and shooting. Players collect points, buffs, and weapons during their race to the finish line: the next spaceship leaving the planet.
