How to play Weave
Weave is a free highway traffic game. You drive fast, pass cars as close as you dare, and turn near misses into points. This page covers the controls and the scoring so your first run goes further.
Controls
- W throttle, S brake (hold it when stopped to reverse), A / D steer, Space handbrake. Arrow keys work too.
- E shift up, Q shift down, T switches between automatic and manual gears.
- C cycles the camera, V jumps to the cockpit view, H toggles traction and stability assists.
- R puts you back on the road, P or Esc pauses, M mutes, J jumps to other players.
- On a phone or tablet, the left thumb steers and the right thumb holds gas and brake. The HB button is the handbrake.
- Gamepads work, and so do racing wheels (run Wheel setup once in Settings).
Scoring: build it, then bank it
Every near miss above 100 km/h adds to your combo, and the closer and faster the pass, the more it is worth. Speed above 100 km/h adds its own multiplier. When the combo timer runs out, your points are banked as cash. If you hit anything before that, the unbanked points are lost, so the skill is knowing when to stay safe.
Driving on the shoulder scores nothing, and a clean pass on the oversize truck pays a large bonus.
Drive with friends
Everyone with the page open shares the same highway. Stay within about 70 metres of other players while you are all moving and the group earns a multiplier: x2 for two drivers, x4 for three and up to x8 for four or more.
The road
The highway bends, so steer through the curves. Every few kilometres a tunnel takes you into a new map with a different lane count: city, coast, desert and night. Each map has an exit to a hidden spot and a U-turn gap in the median.
Fuel and police
Every car burns fuel, faster with your foot down. When the light comes on, follow the directions to the next services exit and stop beside a pump. In Police chase mode, interceptors run you down; get far enough ahead for ten seconds to escape and bank a bonus.
Progress
Banked points become cash. Buy faster cars in the Dealer, fit parts, body kits and wheels in the Garage, and race the quarter mile in Race. A daily reward grows with your streak, and the weekly leaderboard resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC.
