Keep On Trucking is a pixel-art arcade game about driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic and smashing everything in your path for points. SMASH FOR POINTS Every car you flatten scores. Taxis are worth 2. Ambulances are worth 3. Your conscience is worth nothing. DO NOT TOUCH THE COPS Police cars come with spinning red and blue sirens, and touching one ends your run. Weave, dodge, pray. THE ROAD FIGHTS BACK Road works close lanes with cones that shove your truck around. Every 30 cars, night falls and only your headlights light the way. CRASH IN STYLE When it all goes wrong, your trailer jackknifes and the cargo goes everywhere: bananas, fish, tires, cash, apples and ducks scattered across the road. NEW IN 2.0 Rebuilt from the ground up. - The Daily Road: the same road for everyone, every day.
