Offroad driving up endless hills, with honest physics
Two pedals, endless hills. Hold GAS to climb, tilt the car in the air, grab fuel and coins, and drive as far as the tank and gravity allow. Then upgrade your car and go further.
Free on Google Play for Android 7.0 or newer. The game shows ads; a one-time purchase removes every ad you did not ask for.
What you get
- Two pedalsGAS and REVERSE do everything: climb, brake, back out of a ditch, and tilt the car in the air.
- Honest physicsThe drive is fully deterministic: no rubber-banding, no hidden help. The same pedals on the same road always give the same run.
- Fifteen stagesFrom Green Hills to Moon Base and Crystal Caves, each driving its own way and opened by the distance you reach.
- Five cars, five upgradesSedan, SUV, Truck, Racer and Prototype, plus Engine, Suspension, Tires, Fuel tank and Stability, all paid for with coins.
- Achievements and leaderboardsWith the optional Google Play Games: 11 achievements and two leaderboards, Longest Drive and Grand Tour.
- Plays offlineEvery stage works with no internet connection at all.
- No account neededNo sign-up. Coins, garage and best distances stay on your phone; the only sign-in is the optional Google Play Games.
- Fair by designNo energy system, no timers, no subscription, no loot boxes. An ad to keep driving plays only when you ask for it.
How to play
- On the home screen, open Stages and tap one to start a run. Green Hills is open from the start.
- Hold GAS to drive and climb. Hold REVERSE to brake; below walking pace it backs the car up, which gets you out of a ditch.
- In the air, GAS tips the nose up and REVERSE tips it down. Land with your wheels on the slope: land more than 100° off it, or touch the ground with the roof, and the car goes over.
- Watch the fuel gauge. The engine burns fuel the whole time it runs, less when you are off the pedals, and every fuel can puts back 12 seconds of gas.
- The run ends when the car goes over, or stops with an empty tank. The coins you collected are banked either way: spend them in the Garage.
Stages, cars and achievements
- Fifteen stages. Five on the main road: Forest opens at 500 m in Green Hills, Desert at 600 m in Forest, Rocky Mountains at 700 m in Desert and Snow at 800 m in Rocky Mountains. Ten more branch off them, each driving its own way: Sunset Beach, Misty Swamp, Jungle Trail, Red Canyon, Highlands, Badlands, Volcano, Moon Base with low gravity, Glacier and Crystal Caves. The Stages screen shows what opens each one.
- Five cars. The Sedan is yours from the start; the SUV, Truck, Racer and Prototype cost 500, 800, 1,200 and 2,000 coins. Each has its own power, grip, suspension, stability and air control, and the Garage shows each car in live 3D: drag to turn it.
- Five upgrades. Engine, Suspension, Tires, Fuel tank and Stability go up to level 5, for 120, 260, 480 and 800 coins a level, and every level helps every car you own.
- Achievements and leaderboards. Sign in to the optional Google Play Games to earn 11 achievements, from your first climb to all 15 stages, every car and 10,000 coins, and to compare your Longest Drive and Grand Tour (your best distances on every stage added up) with other players.
- Keep driving. Once per run, after a crash or an empty tank, you can choose to watch a short ad to stand the car back up with half a tank and carry on from the same spot.
Questions people ask
How do you play Hill Rush?
Hold GAS to drive uphill and REVERSE to brake or back up. In the air, GAS tips the nose up and REVERSE tips it down, so you can land on your wheels. Collect fuel cans to keep the engine running and coins to buy cars and upgrades, and try to beat your best distance.
Is Hill Rush free?
Yes. The game is free on Google Play and supported by ads. There is no subscription, no energy system and no premium currency; the only purchase is an optional one-time Remove ads.
What ads does Hill Rush show?
A banner on the home screen and the result panel, and now and then a full-screen ad when you tap a button to leave a finished run. No ad is shown while you drive. The Keep driving ad plays only when you tap it.
How do I remove the ads?
Buy Remove ads once in Settings. It removes the banner and the full-screen ads between runs, for good. Keep driving still offers a short ad when you ask for one. The purchase is restored from your Google Play account if you reinstall.
Can I play Hill Rush offline?
Yes. Every stage works without an internet connection. When you are online, the game uses the connection only for ads (served through Google AdMob), Google Play (the purchase, updates and the optional Play Games), and usage statistics and crash reports sent to Google Firebase.
Do I need an account? What data does it collect?
No account is needed, and the game reads none of your files. The only sign-in is the optional Google Play Games one, for achievements and leaderboards; nothing else in the game needs it. The game sends usage statistics and crash reports through Google Firebase, and the ads collect what the privacy policy describes. Your runs and progress are never uploaded; only if you sign in to Play Games do your achievements and leaderboard scores go to Google.
Is my progress saved? What happens if I reinstall or change phones?
Your coins, cars, upgrades and best distances are saved on your phone automatically. They are not backed up to the cloud, so uninstalling the game or moving to a new phone starts you from the beginning. Only the Remove ads purchase comes back, from Google Play.
How do I unlock new stages?
Reach a set distance in the stage a new one branches from. On the main road, 500 m in Green Hills opens Forest, 600 m in Forest opens Desert, 700 m in Desert opens Rocky Mountains and 800 m in Rocky Mountains opens Snow. The branches: Sunset Beach at 300 m in Green Hills, Misty Swamp at 250 m in Forest, Jungle Trail at 450 m in Misty Swamp, Red Canyon at 450 m in Desert, Highlands at 500 m in Red Canyon, Badlands at 550 m in Highlands, Volcano at 450 m in Rocky Mountains, Moon Base at 550 m in Volcano, Glacier at 150 m in Snow and Crystal Caves at 450 m in Glacier.
How do I get new cars and upgrades? Can I buy coins?
With coins from your runs only. The SUV, Truck, Racer and Prototype cost 500, 800, 1,200 and 2,000 coins, and each upgrade level costs 120, 260, 480 or 800. Coins cannot be bought with real money.
Any tips for driving further?
Watch the car's angle over crests and use GAS and REVERSE in the air to match the slope you land on. Coasting downhill burns less fuel than holding a pedal. Upgrades to the Fuel tank, Engine and Tires add up, and they help every car you own.
Which devices does it run on? Is there an iPhone version?
Android 7.0 or newer. Hill Rush is made for phones and always plays in portrait. It is an Android game only: there is no iPhone or web version.
Which languages is the game in?
The game is in English and Turkish. It follows your phone's language, and you can switch in Settings.
