Night Mile guide

How it works

Steer through traffic, catch fuel cars, and cross each finish line before the needle reaches E. There are four stages: Harbor Causeway, Pinewood Pass, Salt Flat Highway and Neon Downtown, each longer and busier. Clear all four and they return as harder laps.

Touching a cyan fuel car gives +25% fuel and 1,000 points.

Controls

• Phone and tablet: swipe left or right to steer (hold to keep turning, flick to change one lane). Hold GAS to accelerate; NITRO and BRAKE sit beside it. Prefer buttons? Choose Arrows on the main menu.
• Keyboard: arrow keys or W A S D to drive, Space for nitro, P to pause, M for sound, V to change the camera.
• Auto throttle (T on a keyboard) accelerates for you, so you only steer, brake and fire nitro.

Scoring

• Pass cars at close range for near-miss combos.
• Side-swipe cars into the barrier for takedowns.
• Finish each stage with fuel to spare: every percent left in the tank is worth 50 points.
• Harder levels multiply every point: ×1.5 on Medium, ×2 on Hard, ×3 on Expert.

Tips

• Fuel first, combos second. A combo is worth nothing if the run ends on the shoulder.
• Line up for fuel cars early. Change lanes while they are still far ahead rather than swerving at the last moment.
• Save nitro for straights, where you can see the traffic coming.
• Watch for oil slicks from the second stage onward. If you spin, steer the opposite way and ease off the gas.
• Pick the difficulty that you can finish. Easy has slower fuel burn and more fuel cars; Expert is rush hour with scarce fuel. A finished Hard run often beats a crashed Expert one.

Every car in the Garage drives the same, so choose the one you like the look of.
