Rush Hour

emoji_eventsGoal

Slide the cars and trucks out of the way and drive the red car through the gap on the right edge to escape.

gavelRules

• Every vehicle only slides along its own lane — a car facing across the board moves left and right, one facing up the board moves up and down
• Vehicles never turn, never lift over one another, and never leave the board except the red car through the exit
• Only the red car can escape, and only through the gap on the right of its row

sports_esportsHow to Play

• Drag a car along its lane, as far as the road is clear
• Tap a car to select it, then nudge it with the arrow keys or WASD
• Space or Tab picks the next car for the keyboard
• Undo takes back your last move; Restart deals the same board again
• A move is one car sliding one way, however far — so sliding a car three cells counts as a single move

lightbulbTips

• Look for the one car that blocks the red car's row and plan how to clear it first
• Every other move exists only to make room for that — work backwards from the exit
• Par is the fewest moves the puzzle can be solved in; matching it is the real challenge

speedDifficulty

Boards get busier as the level rises — more cars, longer chains of moves to untangle, and higher pars. Every board is generated to be solvable and its par is the true optimum.
