The objective of a round

Travel five kilometres without losing all three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  1. Start driving.
  2. Steer around traffic.
  3. Avoid collisions.
  4. Reach the distance target.

The controls to know

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

Choose an empty lane early rather than passing through a car. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

This is arcade avoidance, not 3D vehicle simulation. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
