# Roadster Blast-Off

> Roadster Blast-Off is a free pixel-art car launch game that plays in any web browser at https://roadsterblastoff.com. You stop a power meter, a white electric roadster loops a giant C-shaped ramp and launches into the sky, and you tap to fire thrusters, do tricks and bounce as far as possible. Made by Box of Otters (https://boxofotters.com). Fan-made parody, not affiliated with Tesla, SpaceX or anyone shown.

## The game
- Genre: arcade launch / distance game (in the spirit of classic "launch the penguin" games)
- Platforms: web browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and desktop. Phones always play in landscape.
- Price: free. No download, no account, no ads.
- Controls: one tap or the Space key.
- Global top 10 leaderboard with three-letter initials and country flags.

## How to play
1. Tap to start the power meter, tap again to stop it.
2. Green is PERFECT. The thinner GREAT, SUPER and ULTRA bands launch harder. Past them the engine overheats and crashes.
3. In the air, tap to fire the thrusters and do a trick (flips, barrel rolls, corkscrews). Hold to keep floating while fuel lasts.
4. Bounce off the cartoon tech moguls and landing pads on the ground, and unicorns and UFOs high in the sky.
5. Collect coins and spend them on upgrades: launch power, thruster fuel, bounce, aero.

## Highlights
- Pixel art, original chiptune music, 16-bit style sound effects
- Launch high enough and the roadster reaches a neon synthwave sky
- Spring off drone-ship landing pads parked on the ground
- Up in space, touch the passing rocket and ride it
- ULTRA PERFECT launches trigger a secret moment in the heavens
