RoadsThe free voxel road-crossing arcade game

Why did the human cross the road? Nobody remembers. Hop through traffic made of runaway produce, ride the keg rafts, stay off the tracks, and pick up vices that make the next hop harder than the last.

Live from the suburbs: Gary, the Mogul and the Beast, rendered by the game’s own models. The wobble is intentional.

The roster

Eight regulars, eight worlds

Pick a regular and you get their neighbourhood, their traffic and their vices. Three are free. The rest cost stash, which you earn by picking up things you probably shouldn’t.

The pickups

Four vices, four ways to lose your grip

Every pickup adds to your stash. Every pickup also does something to you. Grab another to top it up. Each world renames them to match the neighbourhood, but the effect is the effect.

Grab them when you see them

Rare power-ups

Two of them. Neither shows up before row ten, and neither shows up often.

The flip-off hand

Stand still too long, or fall behind the screen, and the world’s predator comes for you. It hovers for a moment before it grabs. If you are holding the hand, that moment is yours: flip it off. It leaves, offended. You live.

Double-tap, or press F, while it hovers.

The shield

Survive one hit. A carrot, a cash truck, a rolling wedding cake: one of them bounces off you. The next one does not.

Automatic. You will know when it is gone.

Sixty seconds of tutorial

How it plays

  1. Tap or swipe to hop.

    Forward, back, left, right. Arrows and WASD work too. The screen keeps scrolling, so do not fall behind.

  2. Ride the rafts.

    Water is not your friend tonight. Kegs, coolers, charpais, whatever floats in that world drifts with the current. Hop off before the edge.

  3. Watch the signal for the express.

    When the lamps flash and the bell rings, stay off the tracks. The Juice Express, the Gains Train and the Money Train do not brake for anyone.

  4. Every world has its own predator.

    Bald eagle, cheel, buff pigeon, golden eagle, stork, pelican, campus goose, crow. Keep moving.
