More about this game
In Traffic Run, your goal is to safely navigate your car to the end of each level. The core loop involves holding the screen to accelerate and releasing to brake, carefully timing your movements to dodge crossing cars, buses, and high-speed trains. As you progress through the 48 levels, you will encounter multi-lane roads, water gaps, and denser traffic. A run ends if you crash into another vehicle or fall into the water, forcing you to restart the current level from the very beginning.
Tips
- Braking takes a fraction of a second, so make sure to release your input early when approaching a busy intersection or train tracks.
- Closely dodging crossing vehicles triggers a near miss mechanic, which rewards you with extra points based on your current level number.
- When approaching a water gap, make sure you have enough speed built up to jump across safely without falling into the water.
Questions
How many levels are in Traffic Run?
There are 48 hand-crafted levels featuring different traffic patterns and obstacles. After completing them, the game generates new levels automatically using a random seed so you can keep playing indefinitely.
How do I unlock new cars?
You can unlock 27 different cars in the garage using the small and big coins you collect during gameplay. The price starts at 100 coins and increases with each new vehicle you unlock.
What happens if I crash?
If you hit another vehicle, get struck by a high-speed train, or fall into a water gap, your run ends immediately and you must restart the current level from the beginning.
