Gameplay
In this game, you are the driver. You have a yellow car. And you are constantly getting chased by random vehicles. Your goal is to get away from them as long as possible. Trick them with your sweet driving skills. Dont let them crash into you. If they keep hitting, your car will get damaged and explode. To avoid this, drive through car repair icons. And you don't want to stop driving so grab the fuel icons. Don't let them get you stuck in a corner or else it is game over. This game is very intense and it keeps you focused. Drive out into the open grass to collect the most icons. They literally cant catch you there but watch it is going to be a bumpy ride. In the top right and left hand corners, there is a fuel meter and car condition meter. This will help you track your progress. You will be followed by one black van and two white jeeps. Buildings will vary in length but they don't really make a difference. When the game is over, you will know your score and the time you lasted. You will also be told how many icons you collected. Don't play this game if you are going to be distracted.

Graphics
Graphics aren't very impressive. You cant see any of the details on vehicles. It looks like a car that was drawn on a paper. Buildings look unfinished. When your car get s damaged from other vehicles,, you can see the black marks on it. This is a great addition because it will let you know how good your doing. The detail of the cars and objects are disappointing, there is a lot of issues I could complain about with these. This game isn't very hard to run at all. All you need is Adobe Shockwave player. Camera angles change. Sometimes it will be from far away and sometimes it will be from close up. The game is very blurry and hard to see things. Some parts of the game won't appear until you get closer to them. Buildings are shaded to make it look like light is reflecting off of them.

Controls
Controls are very simple. Use the arrow keys to drive your vehicle. Up arrow to drive forward. The back arrow is to drive back. The right and left arrows go right and left. These controls are so simple a 4 year old could play. If you need to stop, just press the spacebar. You can do all kinds of tricks with the controls. You can make the enemy look ridiculous. I really enjoy the game and with these controls it makes it really easy to play. Overall the controls of this game are just simple which always makes it a joy to play. Whats interesting is that you can control your car in mid air. And if you car flips over. The car somehow floats off the ground and lets in the correct position. These drivers are desperate to get you they will jump off of roads to hit you.
