KICKDOWN is a high-speed arcade racer built around one rush: weaving through dense highway traffic with nothing to spare. Every near miss feeds your combo, every lane change is a split-second call, and a single mistake can end the run.

Race nine modes across seven regions by day, sunset, rain and night. Outrun the police, beat six rival crews in a full career, and upgrade and customize your cars all the way from a street coupe to a hypercar.

NEAR MISSES ARE THE GAME

Your score climbs with your speed. Pass close to traffic and it pays. Chain near misses within two seconds of each other and the combo keeps growing. Crash once and it's gone.

The highway doesn't wait for you. Cars signal and change lanes, lorries and buses fill whole lanes, and brake lights flare across wet asphalt. Flash your high beams and lean on the horn to move slow traffic aside, or save your nitro for the one gap that matters.

NINE WAYS TO RACE

• Endless: the classic one-way run. Keep the car in one piece for as long as you can.

• Two-Way: half the highway comes straight at you, and the oncoming lane pays extra.

• Time Attack: 100 seconds on the clock. Speed is score.

• Bomb Run: the bomb arms at 80 km/h. Drop below it and the meter starts to drain.

• Police Chase: raise your heat from one to five stars, dodge roadblocks and spike strips, then lose the cruisers to bank your score.

• Checkpoint Rally: clear every gate on a set route and chase bronze, silver and gold times against a ghost of your best run.

• Rival Duel: one rival, the same traffic. Pull 300 m ahead to win.

• Courier: get fragile cargo across the city before the timer runs out. Every hit cuts your pay.

• Zen Cruise: light traffic, no score, no pressure. Made for photo mode.

SIX CREWS. SIX ROADS. ONE CAREER.

Every chapter of the career belongs to a rival crew and the road they rule: the Underground Rats in the Neon Tunnel, the Bosphorus Ghosts on the bridge after midnight, Salt & Sun on the coastal causeway, Iron Harbour among the lorries of the Port District, Mirage on the desert straights, and the last crew waiting at the top of the Mountain Pass.

Win their events, earn their respect, then face their leader in a one-on-one duel. Thirty-six events, three stars to earn in each, and a different mix of modes, traffic and weather in every chapter.

SEVEN REGIONS, FOUR CONDITIONS

Race a multi-lane commuter highway, the Bosphorus Bridge with a skyline on both shores, a coastal causeway between sea cliffs and open water, a neon-lit tunnel under the city, red-rock desert straights, a mountain pass with fog and patches of snow, and the elevated roads of a container port.

Pick day, sunset, rain or night for every race. Low sun turns the road gold, rain turns the asphalt into a mirror, and at night it is just your headlights against the dark.

BUILD YOUR GARAGE

Start in a light street coupe and earn your way through an SUV, a pickup truck, a four-door GT, a classic muscle car and a modern sports coupe to an S-class hypercar. Every car has its own weight, power and handling, and a class from D to S.

Upgrade the engine, handling, brakes and top speed through five stages each, add a nitro kit and watch your car climb the classes. Then make it yours with paint, wheels, spoilers, neon underglow, decals and lights.

Driver perks add one more layer. Three branches (Flow, Nerve and Heat) reward long combos, close passes and clean police escapes.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY WEEK

Every Monday brings a new weekly challenge with a fixed mode, road, conditions and traffic pattern. Take as many attempts as you like, race a ghost of your best run to learn the gaps, and hit the bronze, silver and gold targets for extra cash. Every week has its own leaderboard, so you always know who to beat.
