The briefing

About this game

Driving Demon is a top-down racing game set on a straight, two-lane road. The goal is to earn a high score while navigating around other cars and staying on the road.

Players must use manual transmission and shift gears at the right time to avoid blowing the engine. Crashing into traffic, leaving the road, or hitting an oil slick costs a life. A scanner beside the main view helps reveal cars farther ahead. The game ends when time expires or after five crashes.
