NIGHTLANE: играть онлайн бесплатно

You weave down a four lane city avenue, skim past cars by inches and find out how long your nerve holds at 300 km/h. The first touch of another car ends the run, so this endless driving game wants your eyes on the road from the first second.

How to play NIGHTLANE

The game holds the throttle and you steer. You set off at 120 km/h and speed up with every metre until the needle reaches 300 after 5 kilometres, roughly a minute and a half. The avenue is one way and every other car is slower than you. Traffic starts loose, then tightens over those first 5 kilometres. Every row of cars leaves one lane free, so there is always a way through. The kerb is harmless: the car just leans on it.

Close calls, streaks and stars

Distance alone earns 1 point per metre at the start and 3 at top speed. Pass a car with less than 90 centimetres between your sides and you get 50 points, then 100 for the next, 150 for the one after, up to 1000 on a streak of 20. The streak dies after 4 seconds without another close call. Gold stars on the road give 25 points and a sip of fuel, and they often pull you between two cars.

When should you fire nitro?

Each run opens with half a tank. A close call adds 12 percent, a star 4, and you can fire from 25 percent. A full tank burns for 4 seconds, during which you travel 30 percent faster and every point counts double, including close calls and stars. A burn always empties the tank and nothing refills it meanwhile, so holding out for a full bar and a long streak pays best. On a streak of 15, a single close call under nitro is worth 1500.

Tips for longer runs on the avenue

Read two or three cars ahead instead of staring at the bumper in front. A lane change at 120 km/h uses about 23 metres of road and about 45 at 300 km/h, so the decision has to come much sooner than it feels. Line up tight to the car you want to pass, since only a narrow side gap counts. The brake drops you to 30 percent of cruising pace, below the slowest traffic. It saves you from a wall of cars, but hold it too long and your streak is gone. Fire nitro when you can see a way through, because gaps close quicker at the extra speed.

Steering on phone and computer

On a phone you choose how to steer: hold the left or right side of the screen, slide a finger like a wheel, or tilt the device. Two fingers brake, and a swipe up or the NITRO button fires the boost. On a computer use the arrows or A and D, S to brake, Space for nitro, Esc to pause and M to mute.

The city and daily challenges

The avenue bends past townhouses, office blocks, banks, petrol stations and clubs, with a side street every 200 metres. Red tail lights reflect in the puddles on the wet asphalt, which helps you judge distance at speed. After each run you see your distance, close calls, stars and today's rank on the leaderboard. Experience raises your level from bronze to legend, and three daily challenges reset at midnight UTC. Your record stays in the browser.
