Car Rush — Play Free Online

Car Rush is a browser racing game in the Racing & Driving category. You steer a car, keep it on the road and try to get as far or as fast as you can. It loads in a browser tab with nothing to install, so a session can be as short as a couple of minutes.

If you came to this site for Doodle Jump, the appeal is probably similar: one simple goal, quick restarts and a score or finish you want to beat on the next attempt. The difference is that you move across the track with the car rather than bouncing upward.

How to play

On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or WASD to move. The mouse is used to aim and to pick options in menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead.

A run starts from the menu. Steer, avoid whatever gets in your way and keep the car under control. When you crash or the run ends, you go back to the menu and can start again straight away.

Tips

• Look ahead of the car rather than at it. Steering early with small inputs is steadier than correcting at the last moment.
• Tap the keys in short bursts instead of holding them, especially on touch, where a long swipe is easy to overdo.
• If a run goes badly, restart instead of trying to save it. Runs are short, so a clean attempt costs little.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

For another one-more-try game on the site, Helix Jump has you guiding a ball down a rotating tower. Bird Jumper is closer to the headline game, with its own take on vertical hopping. For a two-player option, Fireboy and Watergirl is a cooperative puzzle platformer rather than a race.

Car Rush suits short breaks, on either a keyboard or a touchscreen, and needs no account.
