Controls guide
Doodle Road controls
Doodle Road keeps the controls deliberately simple so you can focus on the next obstacle, not on a control menu.
Keyboard controls
Press Left or A to move the car left. Press Right or D to move it right. The car continues moving forward while you steer.
On-screen controls
The two arrow buttons below the game give you the same left and right steering actions. They are useful when you are not using a keyboard.
Best way to steer
Use short, deliberate inputs. A small correction before a rock reaches the car is easier than a large correction at the last second.
Put the guide into practice
Play a run, use one idea from this guide, and see whether you can reach the end with fewer sharp turns.
