EVADE

The pitch

A high-speed chase game where you deliver packages across a city while the police hunt you down. Lose them, make the drop, and move on to the next job.

Controls & how it runs

Use the arrow keys or WASD to drive, Space to handbrake, and Shift to boost. Drive to each drop point, but shake the cops first — you can't deliver while they're on your tail.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

EVADE — quick-fire questions

Does EVADE cost anything to play?

Not a token. The cabinet is free from the first run to the five-hundredth — no wallet, no sign-up, no toll booth hiding three levels in. The adverts around the page are what keep the floor's lights on.

What sort of game is EVADE?

It stands on our Cars row — that's the family it plays most like. The pitch above is the publisher's own rundown of what it throws at you and what it hands back.

Can I play EVADE on my phone?

Happily, yes. It runs inside the browser on phones and tablets the same way it does on a computer. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. EVADE is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.

Before you wander off

Personal best banked, or still chasing it? Either way the full Cars row is powered on and waiting — Forty-seven car cabinets covering both noble traditions of the genre: driving them beautifully, and demolishing them completely. Most days here involve the second one.
