More about this game
Your goal is to survive as long as possible on a four-lane highway filled with traffic. You must quickly switch lanes to avoid incoming cars, earning base points for distance traveled and a 75-point bonus for threading close passes. The difficulty ramps up as your driving speed constantly increases over time, giving you less time to react to new waves of vehicles. A run ends immediately if you collide with any traffic car.
Tips
- Focus on securing the 75-point near-miss bonuses early in the run when the starting speed of 760 is easier to manage.
- Traffic spawns in waves of up to three cars, meaning there is always at least one safe lane to escape into.
- Since lane snapping happens at a fixed speed, avoid making multiple lane jumps at the last second as you might not make it.
Questions
How do I score more points?
Your score is a combination of the distance you travel and near-miss bonuses. Passing closely by a traffic car without hitting it adds exactly 75 points to your score.
Does the game ever end?
The highway is endless, but your speed constantly increases by 24 units every second. The run only ends when you inevitably crash into another vehicle.
Can the road be completely blocked?
No, the traffic spawns in waves of up to three cars across the four lanes. The game always leaves at least one lane completely open for you to pass through.
