"okay so the desert is giving chaos energy and your PHEV is the only thing standing between you and a dead battery. here's how to not die."
THE OBJECTIVE

Drive your PHEV through 21 levels of desert gate chaos. Pass through cyan ⚡ gates to charge your battery. Avoid magenta ✗ gates — they drain it. Reach the finish line before your battery hits zero.

GATE SYSTEM
CYAN GATE ⚡
+15% battery
Drive through these. They are literally your best friend. Combo them for bonus points.
MAGENTA GATE ✗
−20% battery
Avoid at all costs. One wrong gate and you're giving dead energy.

Build a combo multiplier by hitting consecutive cyan gates. Your combo resets if you hit a magenta gate or miss a gate entirely.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT

Your battery is your life bar. It drains slowly over time and faster when you boost. Watch the battery bar in the top-left HUD — it glows red below 20%.

Tip: save your boost for tight gate sequences, not open stretches.
