Road Crash names its own controls, tracks your place with a badge, and gives you a counted number of boosts. Read the two corners of the screen and the road tells you what it wants.

Start and controls
Drag or use the arrow keys
The field names its own controls: a banner across the screen reads DRAG OR USE ARROW KEYS TO STEER. Forward travel runs on its own, so both inputs do the same job — they move your car across the road while the traffic keeps coming.
Observed 2026-10-04 in Chrome at 1280×800: the position badge reads 14th, the steering banner runs across the screen, and an ELIMINATED! banner has just appeared.
Two readouts sit in the corners
A position badge in the top-left corner shows where you are in the field, and it moves as you pass cars — observed going from 15th to 14th inside one run. A blue BOOST button in the top-right corner carries a small counter, observed at 6 and then 8, so the boost is a counted resource rather than something you hold down.
Your car also carries a player name above it (observed as Cortez6705), which is how the field labels you once several cars share the road.
The road reads you back
Position, not distance, is the score
The badge in the corner is the run’s real scoreboard: nothing on screen counts metres or seconds, only the place you hold. That makes a clean pass worth more than a fast one, because losing control costs you places while you recover them.
A run can end before the road does
The field can also knock you out mid-race — observed as an ELIMINATED! banner across the screen. When that banner appears the run is over, so the gap you were protecting has already closed; the useful question is which lane choice put you in reach of the car that ended it.
Boost is a counted resource
Spend boosts where the road is already clear
Because the counter sits on the button, a boost is a decision rather than a reflex. Fire one where the next stretch is visibly open and it buys you places; fire one into traffic and you spend a charge arriving faster at the car that stops you.
Between boosts the habit is the same: one measured lane change, then re-read the traffic ahead. The badge in the corner and the name over your car are the only two things the field asks you to watch, which is why a steady line beats constant weaving.
Road Crash FAQ
Controls, position and the boost counter
These answers stay with what the field shows during a race: the two inputs it names, the position badge, and the counted boost.
What controls does the game name?
A banner across the screen reads DRAG OR USE ARROW KEYS TO STEER. Both inputs move the car sideways while forward travel runs on its own, so pick whichever feels steadier.
Where is my position shown?
Top-left, as a badge such as 15th or 14th. It updates as you pass cars, and it is the only progress figure the field displays.
Is the boost limited?
Yes. The BOOST button in the top-right corner carries a counter, observed at 6 and at 8 during one run, so treat each charge as a decision rather than a reflex.
Can a run end early?
Yes. The field can show an ELIMINATED! banner mid-race, which ends the run before the road does.
What should I fix first on a retry?
Find the lane choice that put you within reach of the car that took you out, and move that decision one step earlier rather than weaving through late gaps.
