About Car Rush
Car Rush is a 3D traffic racing game about getting past everything on the road. Your car drives on its own; hold the screen to swing out into the oncoming lane and let go to tuck back in before you meet a car head on. Every pass pays coins, quick passes build a combo, and slipping back in just in front of an oncoming car is a near miss worth a bonus.
Every level builds a new road: slow cars, trucks, convoys, speeders, lane hoppers that blink and pull out, roadworks and coin trails, with something new every few levels. Every fifth level is a bonus race full of coins and every tenth is rush hour. The world changes every three levels, from the Grand Prix stadium to Sunset Coast, Desert Rally, Forest Run, Winter Cup, Night Race, Autumn Road and Neon City.
Coins buy twelve cars in the garage, from the Derby Car to the Supercar, Monster Truck and Formula Racer, each with its own top speed and grip, plus eight paint jobs, a Nitro upgrade and a Shield that takes a crash for you. Car Rush runs on phones, tablets and computers with nothing to download, and your coins are shared with every other TinyJar game.

How to play Car Rush
- Pick a car in the garage with the arrows and press Start (buy new cars with the coin button).
- Hold the screen (or the mouse button) to pull out into the oncoming lane.
- Let go to move back into your lane before an oncoming car arrives.
- Pass cars and grab coin trails to earn coins, and reach the finish line without crashing to win the level.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button to overtake, release to move back into your lane.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch and hold anywhere to overtake, lift your finger to move back.
Tips
- Wait until the oncoming car has passed, then pull out straight away: the gap behind it is the longest.
- Let go as soon as you are past. Staying in the oncoming lane is how most crashes happen.
- Cars with more grip change lanes faster, which makes convoys and roadworks much easier.
- Lane hoppers blink before they pull out; wait for them to swerve back before you pass.
- Buy the Shield before a hard level: it takes one crash for you and clears the car you hit.
