Gas Station Car Driving

Gas Station Car Driving is a simulation video game developed by a small independent studio, released in 2023 for mobile platforms. The game places the player in the role of a gas station attendant who must also drive customer vehicles. The primary objective involves managing a single gas station location, servicing incoming cars by refueling them, and occasionally performing basic vehicle maneuvers. The game features a low-poly 3D visual style and a top-down or isometric camera perspective. Progression is achieved by completing customer orders within time limits, earning currency to upgrade station equipment and unlock new vehicle types. The game does not include a narrative campaign; it focuses entirely on repetitive task management and driving precision.

Gameplay mechanics center on a two-phase loop: driving and servicing. The player controls a character avatar using a virtual joystick on the left side of the screen. To service a vehicle, the player must first walk to the customer car, tap the fuel pump icon, then drag a finger along a gauge to fill the tank to the required level. Overfilling results in a penalty. After fueling, the player must enter the customer’s car by tapping a door icon. Driving controls switch to a steering wheel and pedal interface: a left-right swipe on the wheel steers, and a bottom button controls acceleration and reverse. The player must drive the car to a designated parking spot or exit ramp without colliding with obstacles. Tactical techniques include memorizing pump positions to minimize walking distance, releasing the accelerator early before turns to avoid skidding, and prioritizing cars with shorter time limits. Upgrades to the fuel hose speed and vehicle handling reduce task duration.
