FAQ

The objective of Polytrack is simple - navigate your polygon vehicle through various tracks without crashing:

  1. Control your vehicle using the left and right arrow keys (or A/D keys)
  2. Stay on the track at all times - driving off the edge will result in a crash
  3. Navigate carefully around sharp turns and obstacles
  4. Complete each level as quickly as possible to earn higher scores
  5. The difficulty increases progressively as you advance through levels
  6. Some levels feature special obstacles and track elements that require careful timing

The key to success in Polytrack is finding the right balance between speed and control. Take your time to learn each track's layout before attempting to race through at full speed!

How do I unlock new levels in Polytrack?
Levels are unlocked sequentially as you complete each preceding level. You must successfully finish a level by reaching the finish line without crashing to unlock the next one. Some versions of the game may also have special challenge levels that unlock after achieving specific goals or scores.
What's the best strategy for difficult turns?
For sharp turns, it's best to slow down before entering the turn, rather than trying to brake during it. Position your vehicle toward the inside of the turn initially, then gradually move to the outside as you navigate through it. This racing line technique helps maintain better control and smoother movement around difficult corners.
Does the game save my progress?
Yes, Polytrack automatically saves your progress to your browser's local storage. When you return to the game, it will remember which levels you've unlocked and your best times for each completed track. This data will persist until you clear your browser cache or cookies.
Why does my vehicle sometimes slide off the track even when I'm steering correctly?
Polytrack incorporates realistic physics, including momentum and inertia. If you're moving too fast or trying to make a sharp turn without reducing your speed first, your vehicle may slide or drift due to its momentum. Practice finding the right balance between speed and control for each section of the track to minimize sliding.
