Overtake
Traffic packs the highway with cars cruising at a steady pace, but you are not here to sit in a slow lane. In Overtake, the whole run centers on sliding past slower vehicles without smashing into oncoming cars. The racing track goes along sandy beach scenery, so the screen stays bright while all the focus stays on risky lane changes and tight gaps. Overtake is a simple arcade racing game controlled with the mouse. Your car moves forward automatically in the middle of a busy traffic flow. Press and hold the left mouse button to swing into the oncoming lane and start an overtake. Release the button, and the car shifts back into its original lane, helping you avoid collisions and reset your position.
Traffic jams still appear, but small open pockets let you tuck the car away from oncoming vehicles for a moment. Successful passing is not only about staying alive, because every clean overtake pays you cash. Nitro cans float on the road, and collecting one triggers a strong speed boost and temporary invulnerability. During this nitro rush, you can ram straight through traffic, keep the combo going, and stack up bonus coins. The garage in this racing game offers 12 vehicles, from vans and convertibles to supercars and full Formula 1 style cars. Earn enough coins, unlock fresh rides, and test how each one feels at high speed.
How to play?
Hold the left mouse button to pull into the opposite lane and complete an overtake. Release it early if the gap closes too fast. Use open spaces in traffic as short, safe spots, then move out again once the path clears. Grab nitro only when there is enough straight road to benefit from the boost. Spend earned coins on new cars to keep the racing fresh and tune your favorite style of overtaking.
