Crashout City is a fast-paced roguelite arcade driving game with three lanes and a road that never stops. Put your reflexes to the test! Thread through traffic, grab coins, and push your run as far as you can. Coins and dodges fill your Crashout Meter. When it’s full, the rules change. You stop dodging traffic and start smashing through it. SEVEN ZONES. A DIFFERENT RUN EVERY TIME. Drive through Neon City, Sunrise Ridge, Dust Canyon, Wild Forest, Downtown, and Snowy Village with an upgrade bridge connecting them all. Each has its own skyline, color palette, soundtrack, and hazards, with the order randomized every run. CRASHOUT Fill the meter and become something the road cannot survive. For fifteen seconds, you’re invincible. Traffic becomes debris. Every lane is yours. DODGE LATE AND GET REWARDED. Barely escaped a collision? The game notices. Last-second lane changes and close calls charge your Crashout Meter. Chain them together, push your luck, and turn near misses into momentum. BUILD YOUR DECK Rip open upgrade packs and enhance each run. 3 tiers of rarity, each growing in power ensures every run gives you a different build. Want more? The Pack Store sells upgrade sets that add new cards to the pool, each one levelling up twice as you take it again. BUILD YOUR GARAGE Discover unlockable vehicles and paint jobs out on the road, or expand your garage with additional rides available for purchase. Every vehicle has its own specs and abilities, and the more you drive it, the stronger it gets. Level up your rides to unlock new perks and build your perfect garage. NO SIGN-UP. NO WAITING. JUST DRIVE. Welcome to Crashout City.
