Solo — six dream roads
Race AI rivals on six dream roads: Tokyo, Desert Canyon, Swiss Alps, California, Amalfi and Big Sur. Friend lobbies are coming next.
↑ / W accelerate · ↓ / S brake (reverse when stopped) · ←/→ / A/D steer · Shift boost · J/K punch · Space / I kick (Space shoots after a road pickup) · U shove · Q counter · C auto drive on/off (it holds the throttle, you steer). Phone: steer with the thumb stick (or tap Arrows for left/right buttons, or Fingers to steer by sliding a thumb anywhere on the left, or Tilt), hold UP (GAS) or AUTO to accelerate, and the buttons on the right shoot, punch, kick, brake, boost and switch auto drive.
Pick a road in the world tour (Tokyo, Desert Canyon, Swiss Alps, California, Amalfi or Big Sur) and race AI rivals. Hold speed through the bends, pull alongside a rival, then punch or kick before they shove you wide. Garage progress saves in this browser between sessions.
Free to play in your browser. Friend lobbies and the iPhone app are on the way — full touch and keyboard controls are below.
How to play
Race the pack. Fight for the line.
Throttlejaw is motorcycle combat racing: you ride for position on scenic dream roads while rivals try to knock you off your line. Stay on the throttle, choose when to brake into a bend, and close the gap before you strike. If you crash, remount and chase — the race does not wait.
Six dream roads are open: Tokyo neon, Desert Canyon, Swiss Alps, California, Amalfi and Big Sur. More regions are on the way. Solo play puts you against AI rivals in the browser today; private multiplayer lobbies (share a link with friends) and an iOS build from the same Unity project are coming next.
Touch controls
- Push the stick with your left thumb to steer: a little nudges your line, all the way swings across a lane. Let go and it springs back to straight.
- Prefer buttons? Tap Buttons above the stick for the left and right pad; Stick switches back.
- In Arrows mode hold UP (labelled GAS) to accelerate; Fingers drag up or tap AUTO. BRAKE scrubs speed. Punch, kick, nitro and FIRE sit on the right — hold UP on GO for a perfect start.
Keyboard controls
- W / ↑ accelerate · S / ↓ brake (reverse when stopped) · A / ← and D / → steer · Shift boost
- J left punch · K or L right punch
- I or Space kick · U shove · O grab
- Q counter · Escape pause · click the race once so keys reach the game
Game features
Momentum melee (punch, kick, shove, grab, counter), reactive traffic, crash-and-remount recovery, and a garage for upgrades that stay fair — cosmetics and sidegrades, not pay-to-win.
Dream roads
Hand-crafted highways first. Tokyo neon, Desert Canyon, Swiss Alps, California, Amalfi and Big Sur are open now so every stretch feels worth the fight.
What's coming
More tracks and regions, private multiplayer lobbies for 2–4 riders on a shared link, deeper garage progression, and a native iOS release built from the same Unity project as the browser game.
