Reckless Cab Co.

Welcome to the worst navigation system ever invented at Reckless Cab Co.

In this fast-paced, cartoony top-down taxi game, your job is simple: pick up passengers and get them to their destination. The problem? Your GPS is completely unreliable and confidently wrong. Every turn it suggests might ruin your run, send you flying off ramps, or straight into a stop sign.

Each drop-off earns you a rating of up to 3 stars, based on your driving skills (or lack thereof). The better you perform, the better your rewards. Choose between three random upgrades after every ride. Boost your speed, improve handling, or lean fully into the madness. Every run becomes a new, unpredictable build in this roguelike upgrade system brought to you by Reckless Cab Co.

Will you become a legendary taxi driver… or just the most dangerous one?

Either way, the GPS insists you're doing great.


HOW TO PLAY:

Look at the minimap or hold TAB to find your next passanger client. Once you reach their pickup location drive through the indicator to activate a fare - your task now is to comftrably and efficiently drive to the passangers destination marked on both minimap and larger map. But watch out! every tiny mistake and time loss will hurt your final star rating.

Once you drop off your client you will be given 3 upgrades to choose from with their quality being based on your clients 1 to 3 star rating - a 1 star rating gets you common upgrades and a 3 star rating gets you legendary ones.

Continue with your next client and get better and better upgrades until you become a legendary taxi driver.
