What is arc-rush?

Arc Rush is a browser based game described as a retro cyberpunk endless runner built for the Arc Testnet, a Web3 blockchain network. The idea, per the project description, is that players dodge obstacles, collect neon energy orbs, and try to land on a global leaderboard, with in game actions paid for using native USDC as gas on that testnet. The codebase itself is a standard Next.js application, the kind of project you get right after running create-next-app. At this stage the repository contains only the default starter files and setup instructions, not the actual game logic, art, or blockchain integration described above. You start the project locally with a normal Node.js command like npm run dev, yarn dev, pnpm dev, or bun dev, then open localhost in a browser to see the starting page. Editing is meant to begin in the main page file, and changes show up automatically while the server is running. The README points to standard Next.js resources for anyone who wants to learn the framework itself, including its documentation and an interactive tutorial, plus a link to the Next.js project on GitHub. It also mentions that the simplest way to put a Next.js app online is Vercel's hosting platform, since Vercel is the company behind Next.js, along with a link to their deployment guide. For a non-technical reader, the important thing to know is this: the description promises a cyberpunk runner game tied to a blockchain testnet, but the code as it stands is an unmodified web app template. That means the actual gameplay, USDC gas payments, and leaderboard system are either planned or built elsewhere and not yet reflected in what is checked into this repository. Anyone evaluating the project should treat the game concept as an announced idea rather than a working feature until further commits add real game code on top of this Next.js foundation.
