About Inner City Drive
Inner City Drive is set in a neon city at night, in the middle of a storm, with traffic flowing both ways and your car reaching up to 390 km/h. The throttle is not yours to worry about; your job is steering. You thread gaps between oncoming and same-direction cars, launch off ramps over gridlock and race through tunnels while lightning flashes over the wet streets.
Scoring revolves around the near-miss combo. Pass traffic as close as you dare and the combo rises, piling up speed and score multipliers; drive cautiously and it drains away, so each run weighs greed against survival. Every day brings a new procedurally generated route, identical for every player worldwide and reset at UTC midnight, and the results go on a daily global leaderboard shared by everyone on that road. XP and coins unlock 14 cars, every one with a different balance of speed and grip, while daily missions and a day streak give reasons to return.

How to play Inner City Drive
Objective
Survive in dense traffic as long as possible, chaining close near misses to build a combo that multiplies your speed and score.
Controls
Desktop
- A / D or arrow keys: steer
- Mouse drag: steer
- Space: start a run
- On-screen pause button: pause
Mobile
- Touch and drag: steer
- Tap: start a run
- On-screen pause button: pause
Getting started
- Press Space or tap to start the day's drive; the route stays the same for every player until UTC midnight.
- Leave the speed alone, since it is automatic, and focus on steering with A and D, the arrow keys or a drag.
- Pass cars closely to start a near-miss combo, and keep passing tight so it does not bleed away.
- Use ramps to jump over gridlock and keep weaving through the tunnels without letting the combo drop.
- After the run, check the daily leaderboard and put XP and coins toward the next of the 14 cars.
Tips
- The combo shrinks when you play safe, so a long cautious run can score less than a shorter one full of tight passes; find the edge you can hold.
- Because the daily route stays fixed until reset, early attempts teach you where ramps and tunnels sit, which makes later leaderboard attempts cleaner.
- Cars differ in speed and grip, and at high combo speeds a grippier car can make the tight passes that keep the multiplier alive.
- Daily missions and the day streak reward showing up, so fit in at least one run each day even when you are not chasing a record.

Inner City Drive FAQ
Do you control speed in Inner City Drive?
No, speed is automatic. Your attention goes entirely on steering through traffic and timing near misses. The combo you build by passing cars closely is what raises your speed and your score multiplier.
How does the daily drive work?
Each day a new procedurally generated route appears, the same for every player in the world, and it resets at UTC midnight. Results go on a daily global leaderboard, so everyone competes on an identical road.
How many cars can you unlock in Inner City Drive?
There are 14 cars, and every one handles a little differently in speed and grip. You unlock them with XP and coins earned during runs, and that progress carries over between sessions.
Can you play Inner City Drive on a phone?
Yes. Touch and drag to steer, and tap to start a run. On a computer you steer with A and D, the arrow keys or a mouse drag, and Space starts the drive.
