Roadster Sky Rush is a flying car racing game where you build speed on a ramp, launch an electric hypercar into the sky and fly it over four busy city highways, the last one a cop chase through a storm. Dodge traffic and bridge beams, grab coins and pull barrel rolls all the way to the finish gate.

How to play: the ramp launch, flying, coins, tricks and every level
Before you play
Roadster Sky Rush is free, with nothing to buy and no account to make. It runs in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari that supports WebGL2, on a phone, tablet or computer, and picks a graphics quality for your device. Your coins, open levels, best scores and settings are saved in this browser and never sent to a server, and the Privacy Policy lists exactly what is kept. There are no ads inside the game, and the ads from Google on this page stay outside the game frame.

How a run works
Every level starts 120 m before the ramp, stopped, with a 3-2-1 countdown. After GO you have 15 seconds to get off the ramp, and THRUST has to reach 100% by the time you reach the crest. Your one nitrous charge pushes you faster for 1.5 seconds. Fall short of the crest or run out of time and the launch fails, and you try again from the run-up.
Once you are in the air, the Fly Meter drains. Cyan fly coins on the road fill it again, and you climb and dive between the low and high bands to get over the traffic and under the sign gantries, overpasses and bridge beams. When the meter runs dry you glide down to the road, and a full meter lifts you off again. On the last highway, Storm Freeway, the police chase you down and ram you from behind. Reach the finish gate with health left and the next level opens.
Lose all your health and you are BUSTED: the run ends and the results show your score. Try the level again from the run-up.
Developer notes
I'm Moeez Amir, and I made Roadster Sky Rush for this site. The city, the traffic, the suspension bridge and the roadworks are built by scripts in Blender and packed small enough for phones, and the engine roar, the thrusters and the music for each level are made in your browser while you play.
The launch was the part I tuned longest. Full throttle from GO only just fills THRUST by the crest, so a late start needs the nitrous, and a perfect launch sends you higher and pays a bonus. The game also picks a graphics quality for your device when it starts, and lowers its resolution when a scene gets heavy.
The car's body started as a free concept car model by other artists. I rebuilt its rear with thrusters, an LED tail bar and a carbon diffuser and removed every logo, and the guide's credits name them. The car has no maker's name, and nothing in the game copies a real brand. The game went live here on .
