Traffic Racer 3D

The pitch

Traffic Racer 3D drops you behind the wheel of a high-speed sports car on an endless highway packed with traffic. Weave through cars at full throttle, rack up near-miss bonuses, and chase the longest distance you can survive. Earn coins on every run to unlock a garage of new vehicles — from agile hatchbacks to heavyweight muscle cars — and upgrade your fuel, top speed, and armour to push deeper into the chaos. With multiple challenge levels, an endurance mode, and a star-rating system that rewards skilful driving, every run pushes you to beat your best.

Controls & how it runs

Drag left or right to steer your car between lanes. Brush past oncoming traffic without crashing to trigger near-miss bonuses and build your combo for extra coins. The longer you survive, the higher your score and the bigger your reward at the end of the run. Spend coins in the garage to unlock faster cars and level up your stats. Complete challenge levels to earn stars, then try the endurance mode to see how long you can last. Crash and you're back to the menu — but tap "Watch Ad · 2× Coins" on the results screen to double your reward and gear up faster. Quick reflexes win the race

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.

Pro tips for racing cabinets

• Brake before the corner, never in it. Every cabinet on this row rewards the driver who arrives slow and leaves fast over the one who arrives heroic and leaves through the fence.
• The racing line is a rumour — verify it. Following the suggested arc is a start, but the fastest route is usually the one that looks slightly wrong until it works.
• Race the clock, not the car beside you. Mirrors and rivals eat attention; your split times don't care who's alongside, and neither should you until the final lap.
