Road Madness: a highway where the other cars shoot back

Road Madness is a top-down car combat game from Inlogic Games. Steer an armed buggy up the highway while its guns fire forward automatically. Move between lanes to line up shots with enemy vehicles and keep clear of their paths. GamePix describes boss enemies that drop unique power-ups and cash that pays for upgrades. The portrait view gives you a clear look ahead, making the choice of lane as important as keeping your guns aimed at the next target.

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. 1

    Tap to start

    The title screen shows an orange muscle car with twin roof guns and the words Tap to Start.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.
  • Read the road ahead. Watch upcoming lane markings and enemy positions so you can change course without losing your firing line.
  • 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

Track the distance counter at the top right and the heart counter showing your car’s health. Keep driving through traffic and enemy attacks to extend the run. GamePix links cash to upgrades and describes additional power-ups from boss victories.
