You are the traffic controller. Tap a car to stop it, tap again to let it go. Keep a busy intersection flowing through rush hour without a single crash. Free to play, works offline, one thumb, quick runs. No timers, no lives, only an occasional short ad, and Remove Ads turns them off. Tap a car, it holds. Tap it again, it goes. Tap a pedestrian, they cross. That's the whole control scheme. The intersection is alive: cars roll in real time, and if you do nothing, they crash. Every run is a live decision, not a solved board. CONTROL THE FLOW - Live traffic control: every vehicle is rolling or held, and one tap switches it. - Flow Combo: chain safe passes to build your multiplier from ×1 up to ×4. - Flow Fever: fill the meter with brave near misses and score double for eight seconds. - Road Pressure: holding everything stalls the road toward gridlock; releasing everything is risky. The best play is flow. 15 ROADS, 9 WORLDS - Four-way crossings, T-junctions, school crossings, boulevards, and railway crossings where you have to beat the train. - Ambulances, police cars and fire trucks need a clear road, fast. - Play from sunny streets to snowy nights, sunset beaches and neon cities. PLAY YOUR WAY - Classic, Rush, Zen, Marathon, Hardcore and more modes. - 18 hand-made puzzle levels for when you want to think, not react. - Power-ups: slow motion, freeze, clear the box, shield and coin rain. - Daily and weekly challenges, missions, and a daily gift that never resets. BUILT FOR ONE THUMB, ANYWHERE - Short runs, restart in under a second. - Fully playable offline. Sound optional. - Portrait, one-handed, zero setup. COLLECT AND COMPETE - Unlock car paints, traffic light styles, trails and citizens. - Chase your high score on the Game Center leaderboards. - Cosmetics only. Nothing pay-to-win, ever. Tiny Tap City respects your time: your first run is the tutorial, there are no ad walls after every level, and no rigged near-miss bait. Just tap, control the traffic, and don't crash.

That gap looks big enough. Send it. You’re in charge of four roads and one very busy roundabout. Tap to release a car, slip through a gap, and try not to create a completely avoidable pileup. The controls are simple. The bus coming around the corner is the problem. YOU’VE GOT A TOWN TO KEEP MOVING Start Story Mode in Evergreen. Chapter One has eight days to clear, from your first few cars to buses, mixed traffic and Festival. Get every vehicle through to unlock the next day. One collision ends the day, so that last car still counts. Then head to Sunset Coast for eight more days with beach buggies, convertibles and three-car convoys. Then Midnight turns up the pressure: street racers, bus rushes, roadworks and a film festival with somewhere for everyone to be. Twenty-four traffic puzzles. Plenty of chances to say, “I definitely had room.” PICK YOUR KIND OF PRESSURE • Standard: three lives to chase your best score. • One Life: one crash and you’re done. • Zen: steady arrivals, no vehicle stacking. Take it easy. Try the Daily Challenge for the same traffic sequence as everyone else, then see how your score holds up. Standard, One Life and Daily rankings are right in the app. NICE SCENERY. WATCH THE ROAD. Unlock six maps: Evergreen, Sunset Coast, Midnight, Autumn Village, Candy and Arcade. Forest paths, beach roads, rainy streets, autumn markets, candy houses and neon everywhere. Each theme has its own music and rare vehicles to spot. Your score builds something, too. In scored Endless and Daily runs, each theme’s centerpiece comes together in ten stages, from a woodland spring to a glowing arcade battery. Story Mode starts with the finished centerpiece. PLAY YOUR WAY Left-handed or right-handed? Choose the one-handed controls that work for you. Core gameplay and personal records work offline, with no account required. Free to download. No forced ads, banners or subscriptions. In Standard, you can choose to watch one rewarded ad per run for an extra life. The optional one-time Permanent Ad-Free upgrade removes ads and gives you that same continue without watching one. Purchases, Game Center and optional ads need an internet connection.
