About the game

In Arena, chase a high score while protecting your car from damage. Aim your stronger bumper areas at an opponent’s vulnerable side, and race others to health packs and boosts.

Race mode combines speed with survival. Challenge another driver or practice privately against the clock. Choose the balanced Classic, a faster Race Car, or a tougher Excavator to suit how you want to play.

How to Play

Arena

Bump other cars to damage them and score. Side hits hit harder than corners. Every 500 points adds an extra life. Collect a health pack or a 5-second rocket boost when they spawn. At zero health with no lives left, refresh the page to rejoin.

Race

Oval, Bowtie, and Complex are three laps each. Stay inside the yellow bounds; a shortcut voids the lap. Hit the pit for a health repair between waypoints. Race one other player, or tick Private for a solo practice run. Boards keep the times.

Controls and vehicles

WASD or arrows to drive. Hold Shift to boost when you have charge. On a phone, drag the stick and hold BOOST. Classic is balanced. Race Car is faster and turns harder. Excavator is slower and takes less damage.

Platform and requirements

A modern browser and an internet connection on a phone, tablet, or desktop. Use WASD or arrow keys, the on-screen touch controls, or a compatible gamepad. The browser version needs no installation. On iPhone, a home-screen shortcut can give the game more screen space.

FAQ

Does this work on a phone?

Yes. You get a joystick and a boost button. Tank Battle is the one that needs a desktop GPU.
