About Police Chase
After a riot in a penitentiary, several inmates managed to escape through the roof. There are still some detainees to be captured who are trying to escape. Help police officer Charles capture the inmates before they manage to escape through the top floor of the penitentiary. Race against time and dodge the traps and objects that get in the way of the pursuit. Enter the elevator to shorten your path. Thank you for playing Police Chase!
How to play Police Chase
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
