The game uses a top-down scrolling maze. The player steers a car through winding roads to collect all flags on the stage while managing fuel and avoiding enemy vehicles. The map scrolls as the car moves, and enemy cars actively chase the player. A smoke screen can be deployed to confuse pursuers, and the radar shows enemy positions and flag locations. Completing every flag clears the stage and advances to the next, harder map.
Learn safe routes that let you collect flags with minimal backtracking. Save the smoke screen for narrow passages or when multiple enemies are closing in. Watch the radar often so you can anticipate ambushes and plan turns before the enemies reach you. When fuel gets low, prioritize distant flags on your route rather than risking long detours.
Tips and tricks
Use the radar constantly; it is one of the most important tools for route planning.
Tips and tricks
Smoke screen is most effective before entering a tight corner, not after you are already trapped.
