Dodge Incoming Cars

Race through traffic in this thrilling Car Race game! Dodge oncoming cars, collect gold coins for bonus points, and survive 60 seconds across three difficulty levels.

How to Play:
Steer your car through a busy three-lane road filled with oncoming traffic. Dodge enemy vehicles, collect gold coins for bonus points, and survive as long as you can β€” you have 60 seconds to set a new high score!

Objective:
Survive 60 seconds without crashing into any oncoming cars and achieve the highest possible score.

Controls:
- Desktop: Move your mouse left and right to steer the car
- Mobile / Tablet: Touch and drag left or right to steer
- Pause: Press P, Escape, or tap the pause button (top-right corner)
- Start: Click the canvas or press Space

Scoring:
- +10 points for every oncoming car you successfully dodge
- +50 points for every gold coin you collect
- Score increases continuously as you dodge more cars and collect coins

Winning:
- Win: Survive the full 60 seconds to see your final score
- Lose: Crash into any oncoming car β€” the race ends immediately

Difficulty Levels:
- Easy: Slower traffic speed (2.5x) and fewer enemy cars spawn, giving you more time to react β€” perfect for beginners
- Medium: Moderate speed (4x) with a balanced mix of cars and coins β€” the standard challenge
- Hard: Fast traffic (6x) with heavy car spawning and rapid coin scarcity β€” only for experienced racers

Game Features:
- 3-lane road with animated dashed lane dividers and scrolling road effects
- Speed increases over time β€” the closer to the 60-second mark, the faster things get
- Gold coin pickups scattered across lanes for bonus points with sparkle particle effects
- Realistic car graphics with detailed body, windshield, headlights, and wheels
- Particle effects including exhaust smoke, explosion on crash, and coin sparkle
- Screen shake on collision for dramatic impact
- Speed meter bar shows your current speed multiplier in real time
- Smooth mouse and touch steering for precise car control

Pro Tips:
- Stay centered in your lane until you spot a coin or approaching car β€” sudden lane changes can lead to crashes
- Plan ahead β€” watch for clusters of enemy cars and thread through gaps early
- Coins are worth it β€” the +50 bonus is 5x a dodge, but don't risk a crash just for a coin
- Speed ramps up fast β€” the last 10 seconds get intense, so stay focused until the timer hits zero
- Start on Easy to learn the lane patterns, then progress to Hard for the ultimate challenge
