How to play

Goal: A dolmuş is Istanbul’s shared minibus. Pick up passengers, drop them off when you’re full, dodge traffic and chase a high score.

Step by step

  1. The dolmuş drives itself; you switch between 4 lanes.
  2. Stops are on the sidewalk: pass one in the far left or far right lane to pick people up.
  3. Each passenger is 10 points. Up to 14 people fit inside.
  4. Pull up at a DROP stop and everyone gets off: 5 points each, +30 if you drop a full load.
  5. Hit a car and it’s over. The longer you drive, the faster and busier the road gets.

Rules

  • 1 to 4 passengers wait at each stop; if seats run out, only those who fit get on.
  • Once you’re full, a DROP stop shows up just ahead. Nobody boards at pickup stops while you’re full.
  • With 8 or more passengers on board, DROP stops pop up now and then.
  • Distance earns points too. Missing a stop costs nothing but the points.

Controls

  • Touch: Swipe left or right, or tap that half of the screen: you move one lane.
  • Keyboard: Left/right arrows or A/D switch lanes. Space or Enter starts; Esc or P pauses.

Tips

  • Chasing a stop in the edge lane? Watch the truck in front of you.
  • A full drop-off is +30: don’t hit the DROP stop before you have all 14.
