Your guide to Top-Down Racing

Practice with a purpose

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Travel five kilometres without losing all three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The steps to play

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

Using the playing area

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

Choose an empty lane early rather than passing through a car. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

One detail worth checking

This is arcade avoidance, not 3D vehicle simulation. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
