Midnight Current

Drive an electric carriage through a city lighting up. Drive a humming electric carriage through a city at night with pixel Nikola Tesla. Swap lanes, dodge horse carriages, streetcars, delivery wagons and flocks of pigeons and collect sparks in this free top-down racing game.

Twist: Lanes flicker for a second before lightning strikes them, so swerve before the bolt lands.

Parody. Nikola Tesla has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

A storm hangs over the avenue. When a lane glows and flickers, a bolt hits it 1 second later, and the electric carriage must not be in it.
The free lane between the traffic is never struck, so slip into it when the flicker starts and you are boxed in.
Sparks give 25 points apiece on top of the distance score. Grab them between strikes, not during one.
Horse carriages, delivery wagons, pigeon flocks and long streetcars end the run on contact, just like the lightning does.
Steering: tap left or right, swipe, or press the arrows or A / D. Press M to mute, P or Esc to pause, and share your best night.

The story

The whole city is about to switch on its new electric street lamps for the very first time, and pixel Nikola Tesla has promised to drive the length of the main avenue as they light up. The newspapers have named the night Midnight Current. His electric carriage hums quietly, its batteries full and its headlamps bright.

The streets have not quite caught up with the future. Horse carriages clatter along, streetcars rumble down the middle, delivery wagons stop wherever they like and flocks of pigeons, his favourite birds, refuse to hurry. Sparks crackle along the road to keep the carriage charged. Weave through it all and the lamps will light up one by one behind you.
