Fancy a throwback to the dreamy days of tape decks and the open road? #Drive is for you. To enjoy it, all you have to do is keep your car in one piece.
Pick your ride and destination, then try to get as far as you can while dodging trucks, campervans and the occasional police car. Tap controls make steering a breeze, but as you’ll soon discover, the further you drive, the tougher it gets.
For this challenge, see if you can surpass our total of 3,342 points at the wheel of the Das Holzwagen ’86 hatchback. To keep the playing field even, start from the opening level, Dry Crumbs.
Finding the road a bit bumpy? Smooth out your ride with these tips:
Collect bottlecaps
Each location in #Drive spawns bottlecaps that you can spend on a number of things. But instead of cashing them in on sweet new rides, save 100 for a onetime continuance to keep your score rolling.
Easy on the turns
The Das Holzwagen ’86 has a pretty decent “grip” rating, but drifting around traffic and through service stations can still be tricky. If you run into trouble, try starting your turns early, then carefully nudge your car as it skids along.
Mmmmm, doughnuts
Be sure to grab a treat whenever you see a doughnut shop and you’ll keep the cops happy. Otherwise, they’ll try to run you off the road.
