Get away from the police

Get Away from the Police drops you behind the wheel of a speedy car with law enforcement hot on your tail. The city is a maze of avenues, alleys, and junctions, and every turn could either break you free or box you in. Your aim is simple: keep the gap between you and the pursuing cruisers, avoid crashes, and reach the checkpoint before the heat becomes too much. The game mixes smart steering with split-second choices. You'll weave through traffic, slide around corners, and use the environment to shake off your chasers. As you progress, the pressure mounts with faster cruisers and trickier obstacles. It's a pure test of focus and control, ideal for short bursts of play or longer sessions when you want to see how long you can last.

What is Get away from the police

Take the wheel and make a break for it. The sirens are closing in, and only your driving skill can keep you out of handcuffs.

How to Play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to steer, accelerate, and brake. Your goal is to keep ahead of the police while navigating through traffic and obstacles until you reach the escape point.

Tips for Playing

  • Stay off the main roads when possible; side streets often have fewer blockers.
  • Brake before sharp corners to avoid spinning out and losing momentum.
  • Use the rear-view mirror (or on-screen indicator) to track how close the officers are.
  • Collect speed boosts sparingly, as they can make handling harder.
  • If you're boxed in, reverse quickly to find an opening before the police close in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the car?

You can use the arrow keys or WASD. Press up or W to accelerate, down or S to brake, and left/right or A/D to steer.

What happens if the police catch me?

If a police car bumps you enough times or blocks your path completely, the chase ends and you'll need to restart the level.

Are there different difficulty levels?

Yes, the game gradually gets harder with faster police cars and more obstacles as you advance through the stages.

Can I play this on a mobile device?

It works on most browsers, but for the best experience, a keyboard is recommended. On touch screens, you may find on-screen buttons available.

Is there a time limit?

No, there's no strict timer, but the longer you take, the more police units join the pursuit, so staying quick is to your advantage.

What should I do if I get stuck at a dead end?

Try reversing and looking for a side alley or a gap between buildings. Sometimes you can slip through small spaces that the police cars can't.
