The pedals
- Gas (right): speeds up on the ground and lifts the nose in the air.
- Brake (left): slows you down, reverses once you stop, and drops the nose in the air.
- Both at once hold the car in place.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| → / D | gas; in the air, nose up |
| ← / A | brake, then reverse once stopped; in the air, nose down |
| R | restart the level instantly |
| P / Esc | pause |
| Enter | on the result screen, next level |
Landing
Holding the gas in the air spins the car backwards, the most common mistake. After a jump let go of the gas and match the car to the slope you land on: nose down onto a downhill, level onto flat ground.
Crashes and the finish
If the roof or the driver touches the ground, a block or a plank, or you fall off the course or into the water, it is a crash. Drive under the checkered banner to finish. Restarting is instant: any pedal or R.
Stars
Each level has time targets: reaching the finish earns one star, beating the second target two, beating the first three. Next to the timer you can see which star you are still on track for.
FAQ
Why does my car flip in the air?
Gas lifts the nose in the air. Let go after the jump and use the brake to tip the nose down if needed.
Can I reverse?
Yes: keep holding the brake after you stop.
What if I close the page mid-level?
When you come back you continue from the same spot: the attempt is recorded and replayed.
