Reckless Rush

You’re late. Again.

Reckless Rush is a driving game about running out of time. Every run is a point-to-point race against a clock you can’t beat. When you cross the finish, the game tells you exactly how late you were, and what it cost the city along the way.

How it plays

You’re always late. Each level gives you an objective and a deadline. The clock starts when the countdown ends, and it never runs your way. – Note: Currently only one level, with more planned for the future.
Break things. Fire hydrants, lamp posts, cones, signs, fences and more can be knocked loose, toppled or destroyed. Every object has a price, and the damage you cause adds up. Your own car takes damage too, scaled by how hard you hit.
Check your results. At the finish you see how early or late you were, and the property damage you caused.
Different roads. Weave through busy downtown traffic, try to find the fastest path.

Controls
