Shot by shot
The car drives on its own along a narrow track that zig-zags. Holding the input makes it drift in one direction; letting go makes it straighten. The aim is to stay on the track for as long as possible and to pick up coins on the way.
Your score depends only on distance. Coins do not add to it, so the real contest is against your own best run. One fall ends the run, which makes each attempt short and easy to restart.

Small advantages
- Release a little earlier than feels necessary; the car keeps drifting for a moment after you let go.
- Treat coins as optional. Only distance counts towards the score, so do not swing wide for one.
- Short, even presses are steadier than long holds on a track that keeps changing direction.
- If a run goes wrong at the same bend twice, slow your rhythm rather than pressing harder.
- On a phone, rest your thumb where it can lift quickly; a late release is the usual cause of a fall.
Who gets along with it
Players who like one-input games and short attempts, and who enjoy improving a personal best.
Drawbacks, plainly
- NoteA single fall ends the run, so it can feel unforgiving.
- NoteThere is only one mechanic; some players find it repeats quickly.
- NotePoki may show advertising around its games; that is part of Poki, not this site.
