Driftcross

A hop-and-dodge crossing game where the entire world is scrolling beneath you — so there's no such thing as a safe tile to rest on.

How to play

Hop one tile at a time across a relentless stream of road and river lanes. Cars flatten you on the asphalt, water drowns you unless you ride a passing log or current, and because the whole frame keeps scrolling you can never stop moving. The course is seeded, so every lane is a fixed, learnable challenge.

• Hop forward, back and sideways to thread between traffic.
• Cross rivers by landing on and riding logs or currents — open water is deadly.
• Keep pace with the scrolling frame; falling off the trailing edge ends the run.

Game modes

• Daily — a seeded course identical for every player that day.
• Practice — endless seeded runs to push your distance.

Controls

• Desktop: Arrow keys or WASD to hop in each direction.
• Phone & tablet: tap or swipe to hop — pointer controls are supported.

Tips & strategy

• Keep edging forward; hesitating lets the scroll catch you from behind.
• Read two lanes ahead so you're never trapped hopping into a wall of traffic.
• On rivers, plan the next log before you land — you can't linger in the water.
