About the Game

Born and raised in New York, office worker Cat was fired from his job one day. After living on the streets for a while, he decided to leave New York.

He hailed a taxi, and the driver seemed to be a cat who had come up from South America.

"Taxi driver! These days, I can't find a job as a taxi driver. You're lucky. This is my hometown, but I'm getting kicked out now..."

“Where to?”

“Take me to Las Vegas.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Click “Click to Start” with your mouse or press the Start button on your gamepad to begin the game.

  • As the driver, steer the taxi left and right. Hold down anywhere on the mouse and move it left or right to control the vehicle.

    You can also drive the vehicle by manipulating the analog stick on your gamepad.

  • The dashboard at the top displays “Vehicle Speed,” “Amount Earned from Insect Removal,” and “Current Fuel Level.”

    Fuel decreases automatically. The game ends when fuel reaches 0.

  • While driving, insects will approach head-on. You can eliminate them using the vehicle's headlights. The direction pests are approaching can be seen via the vehicle's side lamps.

    Earn money by shining your headlights at approaching pests to incinerate them.

    If a pest collides with the taxi without being incinerated, its corpse will stick to the vehicle and consume fuel.

  • Occasionally, large pests appear. Eliminating these grants various bonuses.

    Bonuses include “Refuel,” “Stronger Headlights,” and “Invincible Turbo Mode.”

  • Right-click the mouse to turn the vehicle's “wipers” on or off. Using the “wipers” to clear insects or bird droppings off the windshield will restore a small amount of fuel.

    You can also press the “A” button on the gamepad to turn the “wipers” on or off.

  • When the game ends, the “Monthly Income Ranking” is displayed.

    Registering a nickname allows you to participate in the ranking.

    The nickname registration button is located in the top left corner.

  • Click the “Spanner” icon to enter the car repair shop.

    Here, you can increase the taxi's fuel or make the headlights brighter to travel farther.
