TAXI-MAN

A fuel truck, a hungry ramp inspector and a maze of taxiways. Free in your browser.

How to play

You drive a fuel truck along the airport taxiways. Eat every fuel drop to clear the level, and keep moving, because the chasers never stop. Each one hunts in its own way and they switch between hunting and scattering to their corners.

• Fuel drops are worth 10 points each. You get 3 lives and an extra one at 10,000.
• Touch a chaser and it is a ramp check, so you lose a life.
• Grab a Stratux box for 50 points and the chasers become blue TIS-B targets you can catch.
• Fruit shows up twice a level: burgers, charts, headsets and more.
• The runway tunnels wrap around the screen. Use them to shake a pursuer.

Why pilots like it

Ramp work is a maze of its own. Fuel trucks, tugs and baggage carts share taxiways with taxiing aircraft, and everybody has to know where everyone else is. That is exactly the idea behind TIS-B, the traffic service that rebroadcasts radar-derived targets to ADS-B In receivers, so you can see aircraft that are not transmitting on their own.

Real receivers such as a Stratux turn an invisible traffic picture into dots on a screen. In this game the dots turn blue and you finally get to hunt the hunters.

FAQ

How do I play TAXI-MAN?

Steer the fuel truck with the arrow keys, WASD or a swipe. Eat every fuel drop to clear the airport while avoiding the four chasers that patrol the maze.

What does a Stratux box do?

Grabbing one turns the chasers into blue TIS-B targets for a few seconds. Catch them for 200, 400, 800 and 1600 points. Their eyes then run back home.

What is the Daily Challenge?

Everyone gets the same chaser behavior and fruit timing for the day, with unlimited retries. Your best score goes on the daily board and keeps your streak alive.

Is TAXI-MAN free?

Yes. It runs in your browser on phone or desktop, with no download and no account.
