Road Madness: a highway where the other cars shoot back
Road Madness is a top-down car combat game from Inlogic Games in which you steer an armed buggy up a highway while its guns fire forward on their own. The build we embed logs "Inlogic Games 2023 | Road Madness v1.0.0" when it starts, and CrazyGames lists the same developer. Your job is positioning: slide left and right across the lanes so your stream of green shots hits enemy vehicles and your car stays out of their path. According to GamePix, each boss you defeat drops a unique power-up and the cash you collect pays for upgrades. It is the only racing game on What Games Play laid out for a tall portrait screen and the only one where you shoot at other cars rather than race them to a line.

How to play Road Madness
The game teaches its one control on the first screen, then leaves the rest to you and the road.
- 1
Tap to start
The title screen shows an orange muscle car with twin roof guns and the words Tap to Start.
- 2
Learn the move
A card reads "Tap and hold to move" with left and right arrows, a mouse and arrow keys. Press the green Play button.

Line up your shots
Your car fires green bolts straight ahead without any input. Move under an enemy car to hit it, and move away when one is about to reach you.

Keep your health up
Watch the heart counter in the top-left corner and the metre counter on the right, which records how far this run has gone.

What sets Road Madness apart
Guns that never stop
The car shoots forward on its own, so the only decision is where to be on the road: under a target or out of its way.
Bosses with rewards
GamePix says every boss you beat hands over its own power-up, so a fight changes what your car can do for the rest of the run.
Made for an upright phone
The 600 × 800 portrait layout and one-finger steering suit a phone held in one hand.
Health, cash and distance on screen
Three counters sit at the top of the road: a heart at 100, a cash stack at 150 and the metres driven so far.
Tips for Road Madness
- Stay in one lane while you fire. Your shots travel straight up, so holding a lane under an enemy lands more hits than weaving.
- Move early, not late. Cars come down from the top of the screen; shift lanes while they are still near the top.
- Drive over the yellow arrows. Painted arrow marks appear on some stretches of road in the runs we recorded.
- Pick up dropped items. CrazyGames describes power-ups on the road, and bosses drop their own according to GamePix.
- Spend cash between runs. The GamePix listing ties upgrades to the money you collect, so check the upgrade options before replaying.
Who is Road Madness for?
Vertical shooter fans
It plays like a scrolling shoot-'em-up with a car in place of a spaceship.
One-handed phone players
Portrait screen and single-finger steering.
Players who want a short session
A run starts with one tap from the title screen and one press of Play.
Health, distance and cash
There is no finish line in the part of the game we played. The run is measured by the distance counter in the top-right corner, which ticked past 250 metres in our test, while the heart counter, which starts at 100, shows your car's health. Cash begins at 150; GamePix links it to upgrades, and boss wins add power-ups on top.
