How do I play?
Switch lanes to dodge the cars coming at you. You have 4 lives. Hold BOOST to go faster: every car you pass while boosting is worth more, and keeping BOOST held for 5 or 10 cars doubles or triples it. Changing lane just before a car hits you is a near miss and chains into combos up to x5. Blinking items fall between waves: + gives an extra life (up to 4) and □ is a shield that absorbs one crash (hold up to 3). HELP on the start screen has the full rules.
Controls
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Change lane | Tap ◀ ▶, or tap a lane directly on the board |
| Boost | Hold BOOST |
| Start, continue | START (the BOOST button) |
| Pause | PAUSE, or the Android Back button |
| Mute | SOUND |
| Back to the start screen | RESET |
| Game Center leaderboards (iOS) | RANKS on the start screen |
What do LANES and SPEED change?
LANES picks 2, 3 or 4 lanes and resizes the board; each mode has its own top 5. SPEED goes from 1 to 10 and multiplies the points per car, so speed 10 scores 100 points per car. Tap a setting on the start screen, then use ◀ ▶ to change it.
How do medals work?
A run earns a medal by the number of cars you passed: Bronze at 25, Silver at 50, Gold at 100 and Master at 200. The result screen shows your medal, the next goal, and SO CLOSE when you were near your record.
I bought Remove Ads but still see ads, or I changed phone
Open the game while connected to the internet and tap RESTORE on the start screen. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID or Google account you bought it with. When the purchase is active, the NO ADS button reads ADS OFF. If it still does not work, email me with the order number from your store receipt.
How do I get a refund?
Purchases are handled by the stores, so refunds are too. Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play: Google Play refund help.
How do I change my ad privacy choices?
In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, open HELP on the start screen and tap PRIVACY to review or change your consent. Everywhere, you can reset your advertising ID in your phone's settings. Details are in the privacy policy.
My scores are not on Game Center
Game Center is iOS only. Sign in under Settings > Game Center, then reopen Brick Race; scores are submitted at the end of each run. Android keeps a local top 5 per lane mode.
How do I reset my scores?
Scores are stored only on your phone. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its data on Android (Settings > Apps > Brick Race > Storage > Clear data), resets them. A Remove Ads purchase is not lost: tap RESTORE afterwards.
Does the game need internet?
No. You can play fully offline. An internet connection is only used for ads, purchases and Game Center.
