About the Game

Four little rascals. One flimsy car. Physics. 
Things rarely go according to plan, and that's exactly the point.

Taillights is a physics-based co-op survival road trip where the journey is the destination. Build your vehicle, gather supplies, and keep driving 'till the wheels fall off. Travel alone or with friends, repair your car on the fly, and compete on a fresh community-wide map every day.

Work together to survive the road. Carry supplies, fix breakdowns, and recover from disasters. Embark on a road trip solo or with up to 4 players online. Build, survive, compete, and create unforgettable stories together on the open road.

Keep you paw on the gas. Read a map badly. Get lost in the backroads. Chase your teammates around with a baseball bat. It's all fun and games but don't take too long - cryptids, conspiracies, and all sorts of calamities come to life after sun-down.

Collect and attach parts with unique gameplay implications to your vehicle, or just do it for the style points. Bullhorns on the hood? Check! Flame decals on the doors? Check! Giant spoiler on the roof that is scientifically proven to make you go faster? Check! You can do it all - while speeding down highways, tumbling down hillsides, or floating down rivers.

The game refreshes its map (and leaderboard) daily, serving up a new challenge for the entire community every 24hours. Everybody plays the same map on the same day, and fights for the same top spot on the calendar. Will you come together to share knowledge of item locations, shortcuts, and supplies - or will you keep it all to yourself to give your team the upper hand?
