Quick answers
Is Train mode free?
Yes. Both Run and Train are open to everyone. Choose Train, then Start escape. No contribution, account, email or verification code is required. Buy Me a Coffee remains an optional way to support development.
How do I play Train mode?
You are trapped on a railroad crossing with one small compressed-air tank. Watch for the train, then press Space or Jump / Lift and hold to rise above it. Lift early enough to clear it, release to save air, let the whole train pass and land safely. Earn 100 points per metre of distance at your final takeoff, 1,000 per metre of minimum clearance above the train and 30 per remaining percent of air; crashes earn no points. Your personal best and the shared Train leaderboard use this total point score. Higher scores rank first. Run keeps its usual controls and scoring.
Can I share a link to a specific game mode?
Yes: use the Run link or the Train link. Each opens the start screen with that option selected. Both modes are public. Older early-access links also open Train. Switching modes also updates the address, so you can copy it to share.
How do I control the car?
On iOS, use the on-screen buttons. Tap Jump to leave the road; hold it for upward thrust. Hold Flip for a forward flip, Roll for a sideways barrel roll, Boost to accelerate, or Suction to descend. You can hold more than one control at a time.
In Run mode on the web, use the on-screen controls or a keyboard: Space to jump and lift, D to flip, A to roll, Shift to boost, and S or ↓ for suction. Train uses only Jump / Lift or Space; time your lift and conserve air. Turn your phone sideways for the web game.
How do I refill compressed air?
In Run mode and the iOS game, Lift and Boost share the same air tank. Hold Suction while airborne to pull the car down and refill air, even when the tank is empty. You can also land and release Boost to refill. Suction has no effect on the ground.
Why did my flip or roll not earn points?
Stunts are banked after a safe landing. Complete your rotations, release Flip or Roll early enough to level out, and land on your wheels within 30° of upright on both axes. Hitting an obstacle or crashing on landing loses the stunts from that jump.
Multiple flips and rolls in one jump combine: one landed stunt earns 100 bonus points, two earn 300, and three earn 600. Complete at least one flip and one roll in the same jump for an extra 100-point combo bonus, awarded once per jump after a safe landing. A flip plus a roll earns 400 points in total.
The game feels slow or stutters. What can I try?
Update Rocket Roadster and iOS, close other demanding apps, and try again once your device has cooled down. For the web game, try a current browser with hardware acceleration enabled and close other demanding tabs.
If the problem continues, email your device details and describe when it happens, such as during Boost, in the air, or at higher speeds.
Why is there no sound?
Check the speaker button in the game and your device volume. On iOS, check Silent Mode too. On the web, start a run first so the browser can allow game audio, and check whether the browser tab is muted.
Can I play offline?
The iOS game can be played offline once installed. The web game needs an internet connection to load. Opening these help pages or external links also requires a connection.
Where is my best score saved?
The iOS app saves your personal best in its local settings. The web game saves one personal best per mode in the browser, independently of the nickname. Leaving the nickname blank skips the online leaderboard while the browser personal best still saves normally. Browser records do not transfer to another device by typing the same nickname.
Published score entries are stored separately on the server. Each mode keeps its best 100 entries. Clearing website data removes local scores and the remembered nickname; it does not remove already published entries.
How do I see the web leaderboard?
The main menu's Beat the best card shows the leading entries. Choose Race the top 100 there or See the top 100 on the results screen for the full rankings, with the top three highlighted above the table. Use Refresh for the latest results and check the last update time. After a game, a rival target shows the gap to the next entry. Both mode leaderboards can be viewed without a nickname or supporter verification.
While playing, the HUD shows your nickname, the browser's personal best and the latest loaded top-three names and results. The rankings are a snapshot and are not polled during play.
How do I add my score?
After a ride, enter a nickname on the results screen and choose Save score. The start menu has no nickname field. A remembered nickname may be prefilled, but each score is submitted only when you press Save score. Leave it blank to skip online saving. Nicknames can contain 1–20 characters, including Unicode letters and spaces; extra surrounding and repeated whitespace is normalized.
This is an arcade-style score table: nicknames do not need to be unique, and different games can have the same name and score. There are no driver profiles, accounts, recovery codes or reserved names. Both Run and Train leaderboards are open to everyone. No email or contribution is needed.
Can I use another nickname or the same name on another device?
Yes. Enter another nickname on the results screen after a ride, or use the same name on another device. The name is only a score label and does not recover a person’s records. The browser may remember the last nickname as a convenience. Changing or clearing it leaves previous public entries unchanged.
Why didn't my result reach the top 100?
Each mode shows its best 100 score entries. Run ranks higher scores first, and ties favour the entry accepted first. Every completed game is considered separately; even a repeated nickname and score can create a new entry if it qualifies. When the board is full, a new entry must rank above the final retained entry. The results screen tells you when a result does not qualify.
Historical browser records and games abandoned through the menu are not uploaded. A temporary leaderboard error does not stop play. You can retry saving the same finished game without adding a duplicate entry.
Can I play without publishing results?
Yes. Clear the nickname field and leave it blank. No online score is saved, and the browser personal best still works. Existing published entries stay on the board until displaced or removed separately. For server-record questions, contact support and identify the entry concerned. See the leaderboard privacy details.
