Coast Road

If you have five spare minutes, Coast Road will fill them. Everything happens on one screen with 3 traffic lanes starting at 230 px/s, and the whole thing runs straight in the browser - no downloads, no sign-ups, no fuss.

Coast Road, round by round

Lane changes are instant but not teleports: the car slides across with a short animation, and during that slide you are committed. Half of the skill is choosing the next lane before you need it, the other half is not panicking when the lane you chose stops being empty.

Why Coast Road sticks

It suits anyone with a queue to wait in or a kettle to watch: students between classes, commuters, parents stealing ten quiet minutes. There is no meta-progression to lose and nothing to catch up on - a week away costs you nothing but a little sharpness.

How to play

1. Press play - your car sits in one of 3 lanes.
2. Swipe or press the arrow keys to change lanes.
3. Dodge the traffic and grab the coins.
4. Near-misses pay bonus points - the closer, the better.

Where it sits

Weave through 3 lanes of traffic and grab coins.

A note on the sticker

Read Coast Road as a Pecut Shelf game first and a Pecut Shelf game second. The shape explains how the session will end; the group explains what it will ask of you before that.

Difficulty sits at Easy and the player count at 1. Those two numbers decide more about whether you will enjoy it than the theme does.

If you are choosing between this and something similar, start here when you have Easy energy and elsewhere when you do not. Coast Road does not pretend to be more than it is.
