Game overview

City Driving is an open-street driving game focused on cruising through an urban map, obeying or ignoring traffic as you like, and getting comfortable with the car's handling. There is no strict race objective, so the appeal is free-roam exploration and practicing turns, braking, and parking. It works as a low-pressure sandbox for players who just want to drive around a city.

This title is best suited to players who enjoy relaxed free-roam driving.

  1. Accelerate with the up arrow or on-screen pedal.
  2. Steer left and right to follow the road.
  3. Brake or reverse to slow down and back up.
  4. Drive through the city and explore its streets.
  5. Practice turning and parking in open spaces.
  6. Reset the car if you get stuck against scenery.

Playable: On-screen pedals work but feel less precise than keys.
