🎮 Play Burnin Rubber Online (Arcade)

Burnin’ Rubber is a classic top-down vehicular combat racing game released for the Arcade in 1982. Also known as Bump ‘n’ Jump in some regions, this high-speed action title tasks players with surviving treacherous roadways by bumping enemy cars into obstacles and jumping over deadly gaps. It stands out for its vertical scrolling action that combines racing mechanics with aggressive, score-based car combat and precise obstacle avoidance.

How to Play

The objective is to drive as far as possible without crashing, racking up points by destroying enemy vehicles or completing levels without bumping any cars for a massive bonus. The game automatically accelerates, so your focus is on steering and timing your jumps. For default arcade web controls, use the Arrow keys to steer your vehicle left and right across the road, and press Z or X to jump over gaps, water hazards, and other cars.

Tips

• Watch for exclamation marks: A warning will flash on screen when a water hazard or gap is approaching. Prepare to jump immediately when you see this signal.
• Aim for the pacifist bonus: If you manage to complete an entire level without destroying any enemy cars, you will be awarded a massive 50,000 point bonus at the end of the stage.
• Jump strategically: You can destroy enemy cars by landing on top of them. This is often safer than bumping them, especially when the road narrows or when surrounded by heavier vehicles like bulldozers.
