Your toy car. A road in the sky. Traffic coming the other way. What could go wrong? Tap to steer against the wind and grab the coin in front of every oncoming car, then get out of the way before the car behind it gets you. Miss a coin and you lose a heart. Hit a car and you become a pancake. JUST TAP. THAT'S IT. The wind pushes your car to one side. Tap to push back. CARS WITH THINGS ON THEIR ROOFS Earn coins and unlock a garage full of cars, many of them wearing something on top: a burger, a banana, a donut, a pizza slice, a clam with a pearl in it, a trash can, and more. It wobbles like jelly every time you tap. When you crash, it goes flying. Then the traffic flattens that too. MOCHIS The sky is full of them. They line the sidewalks, float past on clouds, and cheer you on as you drive by. They are not much help, but they mean well. CLOUD TRAILS Reach a score of 370 and your wheels start leaving little clouds behind them. Can't be bought with coins. You just have to get good. Wear it with any car. EARN EVERYTHING BY PLAYING Every car is earned in the game, with coins or with crashes. No in-app purchases. Watch an optional ad after a run to double your coins, or don't. THE TOILET There is a toilet car. You unlock it by crashing 100 times. We don't make the rules. Actually we do. SHARE YOUR BEST RUNS Beat your best score, then share it and make your friends try. - Tap-only controls, playable one-handed - Short runs, perfect for a quick break - A road floating through clouds, candy balloons, floating islands and a lot of mochis - Plays offline - Traffic that comes in patterns: gaps to thread, walls to dodge, and the occasional marching column
