Directions for use

Blacktop Police Chase is a driving game by Steelpan Interactive, listed in Poki's driving games. Each job follows the same outline. You pick up bank robbers, drive them to the hideout and get paid for the delivery. Between those two points the police are after you, and roadblocks stand in the way, so the job is as much about the route as it is about speed. A clean job is one where you reach the hideout with the robbers still on board and the police still behind you.

Money from finished jobs goes towards new cars and trucks. That gives the game its longer thread: a run of jobs leads to a different vehicle, and a different vehicle changes how the next jobs feel. Poki also lists the game in its multiplayer and 2-player categories; the page does not describe how the shared mode is set up, so this card does not either. The upgrade loop is also a reason to replay: a job that felt out of reach in the first car may play very differently in the next one.

The keyboard layout is short. W A S D or the arrow keys drive and steer, Space is the brake, B lets you look back, and Shift resets the car. Looking back is the useful one to learn early, because the chase happens behind you. Blacktop Police Chase was released in February 2025 and was last updated on Poki in September 2026.

For a cleaner finish

  • Press B when the police are close. Seeing what is behind you makes it easier to pick a turn instead of guessing.
  • Brake with Space before a corner, not in the middle of it. Keeping the car straight is worth more than a little extra speed.
  • Watch the road ahead for roadblocks. A slightly longer way round often beats driving into one.
  • If the car gets stuck, use Shift to reset it rather than wrestling with the wheel.
  • Spend earnings on a new car or truck when jobs start to feel too hard with the current one.

Works well for

Players who like chase driving with a clear loop of job, payout and upgrade, and who are comfortable with a getaway-crime theme. If you have enjoyed chase scenes in other driving games, the rules here will feel familiar within the first job.

Drawbacks, in small print

  • Poki is ad-supported, so an ad may appear before the game starts or between sessions.
  • The story is about helping bank robbers escape the police. Parents of younger children may prefer another driving game.
  • The chase keeps up steady pressure; it is not a relaxed drive.

Neighbouring shades on the rack

  • Carnado Stunt Car — Also a driving game, with open city maps and stunts instead of getaway jobs.
