Your first drive, at your own pace.

Start the playable build

Open the game from the Bap Ka Rasta page. It opens in its own tab; no account or installation is required. On the landing screen, select Mera Bap Ka Rasta. Choose Mumbai, then Yahin Chalao. Select the auto rickshaw and Drive Mumbai.

The other city and vehicle cards are previews. Choosing one marked Coming soon will not start a drive. Stay with Mumbai and the auto for the currently playable combination.

Select Chal Chala when you are ready. This interaction also lets the browser start the game’s audio. The driver’s opening scene is skippable, so you can watch it or move straight into your drive. You can mute the speaker control if you prefer to explore quietly.

Get comfortable with the auto

For the first stretch, choose gear 1 using the number key or the on-screen gear button. The four gears limit speed to approximately 12, 25, 45, and 65 km/h. A lower limit gives you more time to see a turn and make small steering corrections; there is no reward for reaching top speed.

Hold W or ↑ to accelerate. Hold A / D or ← / → to steer while accelerating. On a phone, hold the steering arrow and the Chalao pedal together. Begin on a wider road so you have room to see how steering changes the auto’s direction.

Release acceleration and hold S or ↓ to brake. Once stopped, keeping that control held engages reverse after a short delay. If you only want to stop, release the brake when you come to rest. On touch screens, the Ruko / reverse pedal performs the same two actions.

Choose a little route

Try moving from a broad avenue toward the sea edge, then look for a smaller side street before returning to an open road. This is a suggestion for exploring, not a mission with checkpoints. Your position can change after a reset, so use the street names in the driving display and the visible road connections rather than a fixed sequence of left and right turns.

Browse gameplay screenshots and the playable map for a closer look at the world.

The current city draws on Colaba, Fort, Worli, Dadar, Bandra and Juhu, with narrow two-way lanes, curved streets and four clockwise roundabouts. Start with a short loop around the central Mumbai Chowk or Fort Circle before venturing farther. The map compresses and reimagines these places for play. It is not a real-world navigation map, and a street name does not promise an exact recreation of its real location.

The game’s world and controls guide (opens in a new tab) identifies 29 authored landmarks and shops, including the Gateway of India, Taj Mahal Palace and CSMT. Pick one as a place to look for, then use the numbered playable map to connect it with a nearby road. These buildings are game interpretations; their appearance and placement can differ from the real city.

Slow down before a narrow lane or an intersection. Traffic, people crossing, and roadside objects share the space. A wall or closed-end barrier marks a boundary; use another connection instead of assuming every gap between buildings is a road. There is no minimap in the current build, so a short loop is a useful way to become familiar with a few neighbouring streets.

Use both camera views

Press C, or the 3P / 1P camera button, to switch between the outside view and the driver’s view. Start outside the auto to judge its position relative to the road. Once you are comfortable, the driver’s view gives you a different sense of the cabin and the streets ahead.

You can drag to look around; the view returns smoothly when you release. Stop the auto before taking a longer look at a shopfront or the sea edge. Looking away does not steer or brake for you.

Recover and keep exploring

If a collision leaves you awkwardly positioned, try braking to a stop and reversing slowly. If you remain stuck, press R or the reset button to return to a safe road position. Reset is a recovery tool, so you do not need to restart the entire game to get moving again.

Press Esc or P to pause. The game also pauses when it loses focus, including when you switch tabs. Select Chal, phir niklein to resume. If the auto seems unresponsive after returning to the tab, check for the pause panel before refreshing.

Ending a drive returns you to the landing screen. There is no saved progress or completed-mission record to restore; each visit is another chance to roam.

Adjust for your device

Use a current browser with WebGL 2 and hardware acceleration. On a phone, city selection, vehicle selection and driving automatically use a landscape canvas, even when the device is upright. The game’s home screen follows your device orientation. Touch controls are included, but device performance varies and broad physical-phone and Safari testing is still in progress.

If steering looks delayed or the scene feels choppy, open the pause panel and choose Low graphics. It reduces rendering resolution and fog distance and turns off shadows. This changes presentation, not the roads available to explore. Closing other demanding tabs can also leave more resources for the game.

If sound is missing, check the speaker toggle and device volume after starting the drive. Toggling sound off and on can retry a failed audio download. If a graphics-context error appears, use the game’s retry action. For persistent problems, send your browser, device, and the step where it failed through Contact.

Know what this build includes

This is single-player free roaming, with traffic, pedestrians, street audio, four gears, and two cameras. It does not currently include missions, multiplayer, a minimap, saved progress, or a downloadable release. The driving and collisions are fictional arcade play, not guidance for driving on real roads.

This guide is based on the current playable flow and the project’s published build notes (opens in a new tab). Controls and availability can change with later builds. The controls reference and Help page are useful companions for your next visit.
