Chase criminals, meet your quota, and keep your demerits under control.
The briefing
In APB, you play as police officer Bob, patrolling in an overhead-view squad car and working to apprehend a daily quota of criminals, including litterbugs and speeders. Pursuits involve using your siren, and some offenders may need to be rammed off the road.
More hardened criminals can also be caught; getting one to confess completes the day's work. Bonuses are awarded for a perfect day and for arrests beyond the quota. Each shift has a time limit, which can be extended by collecting donuts.
Reward money can be spent on car upgrades, while crashes, false arrests, and missed quotas earn demerits. Accumulate too many demerits and the game ends.
