Cyber Taxi

The first job in Cyber ​​Taxi seems simple: pick up a passenger, follow the navigation markers, and land. Then, the corner of a skyscraper clips your vehicle's nose while the fare meter keeps ticking. This is a 3D arcade game where you pilot a flying taxi through a cyberpunk metropolis, steering and adjusting altitude simultaneously.

You pick up jobs, shuttle passengers through the neon districts, and earn money after each trip. You spend this money on upgrading your vehicle or on introducing new models. One change leads to another. The car gives you total freedom of movement, which is both a feature of the car and a pitfall for newcomers.

Core gameplay loop: accept job, choose route, drop off passenger, collect reward

• Pick up waiting passengers.
• Follow destination markers across the city.
• Freely choose altitude and route—no restrictive lanes.
• Land precisely, drop off passenger, collect fare.
• Use earnings to upgrade or purchase better vehicles.

Completing jobs faster yields higher pay, but colliding with buildings, other vehicles, or objects costs you precious time that cannot be recovered. Your income thus directly reflects the precision and smoothness of your flying.

Cyber ​​Taxi Controls

PC Key Layout

• W: Move forward
• S: Brake or reverse
• A / D: Turn left and right
• Space: Ascend
• Shift: Descend
• Tab: Pause/Open menu

Mobile Touch Controls

• Left joystick: Control vehicle direction
• Swipe center screen: Rotate camera view
• Top-right arrow: Ascend
• Bottom-right arrow: Descend

On both platforms, the altitude controls are separate from the steering controls; executing a turn while changing altitude requires coordinating two distinct actions. Mastering this coordination is the biggest hurdle during the first few minutes of play.

Tips for new drivers

• Climb above the rooftops immediately after picking up a passenger, then fly through open airspace rather than weaving through the streets below.
• Start slowing down early, as the flying car continues to drift for a bit after you release the forward thrust key.
• Only descend when you are directly above your destination.
• Treat moving traffic as the greater hazard; stationary buildings are far more predictable.
• Complete a few runs before buying a new vehicle; upgrading performance capabilities yields a faster return on investment than upgrading aesthetics.

A smooth ride or a rough one?

Each trip is only a minute or two, which is perfect for quick gaming sessions. It’s not about the fight, but about knowing space. You have to measure distances in three dimensions, and the clock is ticking. Your first shift might be a struggle, but you will steadily improve as you learn to choose more efficient routes.

Cyber Taxi rewards drivers who prioritize altitude over speed, which is obvious on the payout screen after every trip.
