Checkpoint Rush

Checkpoint Rush is a pixel highway racer. Players weave through traffic against the clock, and every checkpoint they drive through adds time while the pace builds stage by stage.

Weave through traffic, grab coins and hit checkpoints.

Turn on quiz checkpoints and every few checkpoints become a question: each lane shows an answer, and players drive into the one they think is right. A right answer adds time and fires a turbo; a wrong one costs time. Explanations appear straight after each gate, and missed questions come back on the results screen.

The right answer and why, straight after the gate.
  • Combos — coins, close calls and turbo smashes chain a multiplier up to x5.
  • Hazards — road works, oil slicks and cars that signal before they swerve.
  • Pickups — coins, turbo cans, clocks and shields.
  • Stages — every 25 seconds the road gets faster and the sky turns from day to night.

Prefer a pure score chase? Untick the quiz and publish with no questions at all. The setup guide is in Build a Checkpoint Rush.

  • Space Shooter has more going on between questions, so runs feel fuller.
  • Jumpy Dash has more personality and polish in the run.
