Game Settings

In the game settings, you can choose from four Game Modes. Free Ride is what it sounds like because this is pretty much just a sandbox-style game mode. Speed Limit is where you have to stay above a specified speed.

The specified speed with increase as time goes on, so you just have o be above the specified speed and try not to let it catch up with you. Time Rush is where you have to travel the furthest distance possible before you are stopped when you run out of time. Distance Rush is where you have to reach a certain point as fast as possible. Basically a speedrun.

In the game settings, there are options where you can disable traffic and use straight roads only, but choosing those options will decrease the reward value, so if you want better rewards then do not play with these options on. You are able to choose the time of day that you want. There is Morning, Noon, Evening, and Night. The time of day options will not affect the rewards.
