***Pleae Note****
To speed up press and than release the Up-Arrow-Key (or W)
Do not hold the Up-Arrow-Key down all the time!


*******************


Try to reach the next checkpoint within the given time limit. Be careful as other cars will block you. Sometimes they will
even block all 3 lanes so you will have to use a special feature of your taxi! Just jump over other cars and continue your
high speed frenzy. Once you pass a checkpoint you will get additional time. As you progress the time for passing a waypoint
will steadily decrease. Later in the game you will be able to pick up clocks which will add 5 seconds to your time.
There are also turbo items on the track. Collect 3 of them to activate the turbo. Unlock secret cars if you are able to
beat very high scores. While other taxi drivers may get bored you will certainly like your duty!

its not too bad, its just that after you press a turbo and the car starts to fly, there is no warning as to when the turbo is gonna end, so I crashed into a line of three cars and i could not jump over them because I was going too slow. More power-ups would be nice, maybe as a weapon to clear the cars from in front of you and using the points that you get from shooting the cars goes to gaining turbo, or getting money for modifications to your cab (tyres, exhaust, bigger turbo, bull bars at the front of the cab, colours and stickers, etc).
Maybe the option of automatic transmission rather than just manual?

The music is quite good, but there should be a separate mute button for the car sound FX and the music instead of both together.

Thank you for your feedback and your ideas!

If you crash you should gear down (pressing and releasing the Down-Arrow-Key or S) until you stand still and let the row of cars move into some distance. Than gear up (pressing and releasing the Up-Arrow-Key or W) until the Tacho shows gear 3. Now you can easily jump over the cars.

We will look into the problem with the turbo.

These are great ideas for a possible new game. A gun would be really a nice thing.

Thanks for your input.

Yeah Cosmicsilver's Right

Do not hold the up arrow key down all the time to speed up.
Press the up arrow once and release the key to gear up. Repeat this unitl you are at max speed.

We made this because we thought it was very hard for the player to keep the up-arrow-key pressed for the whole game.

shite!

snakep responds:

At least it looks better than your "art" ;)

The fist level is too hard and i'm not sure if its even possible.
To make it better, first of all make the first level easier but also put more power ups.
This game has good potential but I'm not sure it'll work when it's this difficult.

snakep responds:

Thanks for your feedback.

The first level is pretty easy. Please note that you can jump over other cars by pressing SPACE Bar (or J). You have to speed up by pressing Up Arrow a few times until the tacho shows full speed. Just evade the cars and jump over those which block all 3 lanes.
Should not be a problem as you do not need to collect any clocks (theres only 1 before level 15) and turbos to reach higher levels. If you do crash into other cars you will soon get in trouble.

Let me know

Kinda fun!

snakep responds:

Thank you! Let me know if you do have some points you do not like in the game.
