What Is Death Chase?
Developed by GameTornado and released in 2017, it runs in the browser with no download. It mashes up stunt racing and vehicular combat: you are not just trying to finish, you are trying to wreck everyone else with rockets and slams while pulling flips to charge your nitro. The result is fast, explosive and a little bit ridiculous.
The vehicle roster leans into that chaos. You can buy everything from regular cars to gloriously silly machines like double-decker buses and tractors, then upgrade them and their weapons with the stars you earn. Finishing in the top three of a race is what banks those stars, so aggression and survival both pay off.
With 168 levels, a garage of upgradable and weaponizable vehicles, a nitro system fed by stunts, and trap-laden tracks, Death Chase is a riotous battle-racer that turns every race into a demolition derby on the move.
How to Play Death Chase
- Pick a vehicle and start a race across the trap-filled 2D track.
- Drive with WASD or the arrow keys, keeping momentum over jumps and hazards.
- Perform flips and stunts in the air to build up your nitro boost.
- Press Z to jump or slam down on rivals, and X to launch a rocket at them.
- Finish in the top three to earn 1-3 stars based on your position.
- Spend stars in the garage on vehicle and weapon upgrades, then take on the next level.

Tips & Strategies
Flip for nitro. Every stunt you land in the air builds your boost, so use jumps to charge nitro rather than just clearing gaps.
Time your rockets. Save your X rocket for a rival who is just ahead or bunched with others for maximum disruption.
Slam from above. A well-timed Z slam onto another racer can wreck them and vault you up the order.
Top three is the goal. You only need to finish in the top three for stars, so prioritise position over reckless kills late in a race.
Upgrade weapons and durability. Stars spent on weapons help you attack, but durability keeps you racing when the track gets chaotic.
Learn the traps. Each of the 168 tracks has its own hazards — a quick restart with R lets you retry a tricky one with that knowledge.

Why Play Death Chase?
Death Chase takes the satisfying chaos of vehicular combat and stretches it across 168 bite-sized levels, making it perfect for both a quick blast and a long unlock grind. Charging your nitro with flips, blasting a leading rival with a rocket, and slamming your way onto the podium never stops being fun, and the wacky vehicle roster — buses, tractors and all — keeps it light-hearted. The constant drip of stars and upgrades gives you a reason to keep coming back for just one more explosive race.
Vehicles and Upgrades in Death Chase
Death Chase lets you buy and upgrade a wonderfully varied garage. Alongside regular cars you can unlock oddball machines like double-decker buses and tractors, each with its own handling quirks on the trap-filled tracks. Part of the fun is finding which unlikely vehicle suits your aggressive style.
Stars are the game's currency, earned by finishing races in the top three. You spend them in the garage on two things: making your vehicles tougher and faster, and upgrading your weapons so your rockets and slams hit harder. Balancing offensive and defensive upgrades is key to clearing the harder levels.
Because there are 168 levels to work through, there is a long, steady progression of unlocks and upgrades — always another vehicle to buy or a weapon to improve with your next batch of stars.
Combat, Stunts and Nitro
What separates Death Chase from a normal racer is its combat. You can launch rockets at rivals with X and slam down on them with Z, turning every race into a rolling brawl. Used well, a single well-aimed rocket can take out a leader and hand you the position you need for stars.
Nitro is your speed advantage, and it is charged by performing flips and stunts in the air. This ties the game's two halves together neatly — the same jumps that send you flying over traps also build the boost you need to pull ahead, so stylish driving is also fast driving.
The smart racer weaves all three together: flipping over hazards to build nitro, blasting rivals to clear the way, and timing slams to climb the order. Mastering that rhythm is how you consistently finish in the top three.
168 Levels of Trap-Filled Tracks
The backbone of Death Chase is its enormous set of 168 levels. Each track is a 2D obstacle course filled with jumps, traps and hazards, and the layouts grow more demanding as you progress, mixing tougher terrain with more aggressive opponents.
Because each race is short, the levels make for perfect bite-sized challenges — you can clear a few in a quick session or grind a run of them to bank stars for a big upgrade. The instant restart with R means retrying a tricky level costs you nothing.
Learning a track's specific traps is a real advantage. The first run through a level teaches you where the hazards are; the second lets you plan your stunts, weapons and nitro around them to secure that top-three finish.
