Road Fury — Play Free Online

Road Fury is a driving game with weapons. You steer a car down a busy road, shoot the vehicles that get in your way and spend what you earn on upgrades. The mirror's own code refers to nitro, rockets, police cars, bosses, coins and an upgrade shop. The game is listed here under racing, but it plays closer to a shooter on wheels than to a lap-time racer.

That mix makes it a good break from the jumpers and platformers around Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump is about one-button timing and a climb that never ends. Road Fury has the same "one more run" feel, with a garage of upgrades to chase between runs. It loads in the browser with nothing to install, and a run is short enough to fit between other games.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to pick items in the menus. On a phone, tap and swipe instead. Drive down the road, aim at the vehicles ahead, and keep moving so you do not get boxed in.

Coins and score come from what you destroy and how far you get. You then spend them on upgrades before the next run. The code also contains a nitro boost and rocket weapons, so it is worth trying both when they become available.

Tips

• Stay mobile. A car that keeps changing position is harder to hit than one that sits in a lane and shoots.
• Spend coins between runs. Even small upgrades add up and make the next run longer.
• Save the nitro boost for when you are in trouble or a gap opens up. Burning it early wastes it.
• If a bigger enemy shows up, deal with it before you worry about the smaller traffic.
