Is the oncoming lane worth it in Rush Freight?

It pays double coin, and a truck comes down it for whoever takes them, timed to arrive just past the last coin. Grab them and pull straight back out and it is free money; linger and the truck knocks out half your stack.

What do the gates do?

Each pair has a blue gate that doubles your stack and a red gate that takes five crates. Steer for an opening and the tower is guided through it; go round the outside of both and neither applies.

What happens when I crash?

You lose crates, not the run: a truck knocks out the bottom half of the stack, a toll bar shears off everything above it, a pothole drops crates from the bottom. Only losing the last crate ends the run.

How to play Rush Freight

You steer a tower of cargo crates down a curving road through a rail yard, dragging or using the left and right keys. Blue crates on the road join the tower. Gates come in pairs: the blue one doubles your stack, the red one takes five crates. Toll bars shear off every crate above their height, potholes swallow crates from the bottom, and the oncoming lane on the right pays double coin - but a truck comes down it for whoever takes them, and a truck hit knocks out the bottom half of your stack. Lose your last crate and the cargo is lost. At the dock every crate lays one row; fill it to win.

Tips

Read the toll bars early. A bar shears off everything above its height, so a tall tower loses most of itself to one it could have steered round.
Take the 2X coins and pull straight back out. The truck that guards them arrives just past the last coin.
Blue gate, every time. Doubling a tall stack is worth more than anything else on the road.
Keep crates for the dock. Every row needs one, and running out before the end loses the cargo.

About Rush Freight

Rush Freight is a stack-runner whose one design decision is the double-coin oncoming lane. Without it the game would be a pure dodging exercise; with it, every straight becomes a small wager about how long your luck holds, and because the reward is continuous while the punishment is sudden, players reliably stay in it a beat too long. The rail-yard setting is chosen for sightlines - long rows of containers give the road a strong sense of speed and, more usefully, make the gaps where a truck can appear visually obvious. The crates falling off individually rather than the run simply ending is what keeps a mistake recoverable and a run worth continuing.
