Gameplay overview

Shift into neon overdrive

Great Taxi Assignment is a fast-paced driving challenge built for the Vibe Jam. Glide through pastel streets, scoop up passengers marked on your mini-map, and zip them to highlighted drop-off points before the timer expires. Each successful delivery extends your shift, while crashes and missed corners chew through precious seconds.

Instructions for Great Taxi Assignment Vibe City
Pick up fares, watch the mini-map, and use brakes wisely—the synthwave city never sleeps.

Controls & UI

Smooth arcade handling

  • Drive with W A S D or the arrow keys.
  • Tap Space to brake hard before tight corners.
  • Use the in-game radio to swap tracks and keep your vibe meter high.
  • On mobile, on-screen pedals provide throttle and brake support.

The heads-up display shows your active fare, destination arrow, and remaining shift time. Watch the combo meter—clean driving boosts tips and adds time.

Objectives & scoring

Deliver every passenger

Each passenger pickup adds a destination marker to your map. Reach it quickly for bonus time and higher payouts. Missing a turn or colliding with traffic shaves seconds, so memorize Vibe City’s shortcuts to string together perfect runs.

Endless shift

The city never stops spawning fares. Survive as long as possible, set a new high score, and challenge friends to beat your best shift duration.

Strategy tips

Master the meter

  • Feather the throttle through corners—sliding looks cool but drains time.
  • Chain multiple fares in the same district to avoid backtracking across the map.
  • Radio off? Toggle it on from the floating player for an energy boost mid-run.

Our take

Why Great Taxi Assignment is so replayable

Great Taxi Assignment captures the best bits of classic arcade driving games—tight timers, generous drifts, and a city that feels alive—without burying you in simulation details. The mini-map, destination arrows, and combo meter are all tuned to push you into a flow state where you are glancing up the road, threading traffic, and instinctively carving the fastest line to the next fare. The synth-heavy soundtrack completes the loop, making even failed runs feel stylish rather than punishing.

What stands out most is how quickly it becomes a “one more run” game. Because sessions are short and scores depend on both precision and route knowledge, you naturally start experimenting with different neighbourhood orders and braking points. It is easy to lose an evening chasing a cleaner line through Vibe City or trying to squeeze one more perfect shift out of a dwindling timer.

Who will enjoy it?

If you have any nostalgia for Crazy Taxi–style arcade racers or you simply like high-score challenges with responsive handling, this one is a strong fit. It’s especially good for players who want something they can dip into for five minutes at a time, while fans of realistic driving sims or long-form campaigns should treat it as a stylish, snack-sized score chaser.
