About this game

A strategic driving game from the award-winning maker’s of Smash Hit. Does not Commute is a temporal paradox in which you have no one to blame but yourself. What starts out as a relaxing commute in a small town of the 1970's quickly devolves into traffic chaos with hot dog trucks, sports cars, school buses and dozens of other vehicles. You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late.

In this small town, discover the characters and their secrets – what world-changing experiment is inventive dentist Dr Charles Schneider hiding? Will Mr Baker quit his job in advertising? What is that strange mask on Mrs Griffin's face? Will Mr Mayfield’s peculiar obsession with Yorkshire Terriers take over his life?

Does Not Commute is playable at no cost and free from ads. An optional premium upgrade is available through a one-time in-app purchase that will enable the ability to continue from checkpoints.

Ratings and reviews

I first got this game probably 8 years ago and loved it. I recently downloaded it on my new phone, but it sadly doesn't work. The buttons to control the vehicle appear to be trying to render past the edges of the screen, as I cannot see them at all or click them in any way. The pause button is even cut in half in the corner. I love this game a lot and I hope they add support for square phone screens, because it is currently unplayable on mine.

It's a cool "racing\driving" game for people who probably don't like regular or "real racing" games. It deserves credit for it's originality and quirky style. It seems to be well made and is not add heavy. It does seem a little limited in depth and options so I can't give it 5 stars. It's not really "my style" of game, but was still cool enough to earn 4 stars. ....to me that says a lot. It is cool to see how your driving skills, paths, decisions end up effecting the game & story.

As with Smash Hit and PinOut, this game plays, sounds, and looks great. Unfortunately, also as with those other games, Does Not Commute is almost unplayable without paying, as you have to pay to save your progress, which makes even less sense with this game because, unlike the other games, this is a problem solving game, meaning that you can't get back to where you left off much faster or easier by "getting good".
