More about this game
In Traffic Run, your goal is to reach the checkered finish line without crashing into passing vehicles. The core loop involves holding your input to drive forward and releasing to hit the brakes, carefully timing your movements to slip past cross traffic and speeding trains. As you progress past the 48 hand-crafted levels into generated stages, the traffic becomes denser and moves faster, reaching speeds up to 3.6 units per second. A run ends immediately if you collide with another vehicle, forcing you to restart the current level from the beginning.
Tips
- Watch the speed of the cross traffic carefully; regular cars move at varying speeds, while trains always rush past at a much faster 6.5 units per second.
- Stay close to passing cars while driving over 1.0 speed to trigger a near miss, which awards extra points equal to your current level number.
- Grab the large coins whenever you spot them, as they award 20 coins compared to the standard 2 coins, helping you afford the increasing unlock prices.
FAQ
- How do I unlock new cars in the garage?
- You can unlock a random new car in the garage using coins. The price starts at 100 coins and increases by 100 for every car you own, up to 27 total vehicles.
- What happens if I crash into another car?
- If you collide with any crossing car, bus, or train, your run ends instantly. Your score is finalized, and you must restart the current level from the beginning.
- How many levels are in the game?
- There are 48 hand-crafted levels featuring different combinations of intersections, rivers, and railroads. After level 48, the game generates custom levels endlessly with random combinations of hazards.
