The game uses a top-down perspective. You steer a car left and right while accelerating forward along a one-way road. Traffic cars, trucks, and hazards appear ahead, and collisions reduce speed or end the run. Fuel and time are both important, so each stage is a balance of speed, avoidance, and efficient passing. As stages progress, traffic becomes denser and faster.
Stay near the center of the road so you can react to traffic on either side. Watch the flow ahead and avoid making large lane changes at high speed. In crowded sections, survival is more important than risky passes. Keep an eye on fuel pickups and avoid wasting time on reckless driving.
