Infinite Cars
Infinite Cars is a tiny endless driving game built on a single goal: avoid every collision. A little red car heads up a highway that never runs out, and your only job is to shift it from side to side.
You cannot speed up or slow down, and nothing waits at the end. The distance just climbs until something hits you. Takane Ichinose created the chunky pixel graphics and the sounds, and the game feels right at home on a phone held upright.
How to play Infinite Cars
Begin with a tap or click on the opening screen. A set of traffic lights shows up above the lanes with a quick hint, and once it turns green the car pulls away.
After that, forward motion is automatic. Press your finger or mouse button on the car itself and slide it sideways. You can use the full width of the asphalt, but the grass at either side is off limits.
Watch for three kinds of trouble. Orange cones never move. Slower cars are in front, so you catch up to them. Quicker cars come up from below and overtake. The other drivers also swerve around cones and each other, so a clear lane can vanish fast. Any contact ends the run with an explosion, your best score appears on the Crashed screen, and one more tap sends you back out.

Tips
- Slow cars dodge cones too. When you see one start to change lanes, figure out where it will end up before diving into the space it left.
- Hang around the middle of the road. Either side is then a short slide away if a fast car appears behind you.
- Keep holding your car. The drag only works while you are pressing on it, and letting go to grab it again wastes time.
- Small moves are safer. A light nudge usually clears a cone, while a wide swing can drop you in front of traffic.
- Listen for the whoosh when a car pulls alongside. It is a handy warning while your eyes are on the road ahead.

Questions
Can I change speed in Infinite Cars?
No. Your speed is fixed for the whole run. The only thing you steer is your sideways position, so dodging is always a left or right move.
Where did that car behind me come from?
It was quicker than you. Faster drivers spawn below your car and pass you on the way up, so glance at the lane behind you now and then.
Does Infinite Cars save my high score?
Yes. Your score is how far you drove after the green light, and the better of that and your previous record is kept in browser storage.
