SANDTON, South Africa - TelAve -- Spectrum, a free browser-based space racing game built on Base, is now live in alpha. The game was solo-developed by Bheka Mchunu at Spectrum One Crew.

The defining mechanic is hidden cores. Every ship you forge has cosmic cores sealed inside - four elements (Nova, Rolo, Telex, Unik) in combinations you can't see. The cores only fire during races, in response to your THRUST/DRIFT calls. So a 3-core ship with a hidden Telex can outperform a 5-core ship with Nova, depending on the track - but you commit to the ship before you know its full loadout.

Gameplay is brutally simple. Every frame, you make a binary call: THRUST commits speed. DRIFT commits control. You can't do both at once. Daily races rotate the meta so the optimal "unknown ship" changes, and the marketplace on Base lets you trade ships once you figure out their loadout.

The game is free to play. A wallet is only needed for forging and the marketplace. Racing is free without a wallet.
