FUEL RUSH

The shutter rolls up, the lights go red, yellow, green, and the road is yours. Fuel Rush is an arcade motorcycle ride in a clay-animation style. Weave through traffic, grab fuel cans and see how far you can go before the tank runs dry. Your rider has a few words for every bike you pass, and a few more for every one you hit.

How to Play

  • Ride as far as you can. The distance counter at the top shows how far you have come.
  • Watch your fuel. The tank holds 10 bars and loses one every 5 seconds. Pick up the fuel cans on the road to fill it right back up.
  • Avoid the traffic. Hitting another bike costs you more than half your speed. Barriers cost you even more.
  • Look out for puddles. A splash covers your view for a few seconds.
  • Hold your line. Bends push you toward the outside of the curve, so steer against them.
  • Out of fuel? The bike rolls to a stop and the run is over. Press START for another one.

Two Ways to Ride

Press SELECT (or C on the keyboard) to switch between the classic behind-the-bike view and the rider’s view, with handlebars, mirrors and a needle that follows your throttle.

Good to Know
