On real roads too

Kangaroos are most active around dawn and dusk. Slow down where you see the yellow signs, and only stop where it is safe. If you find injured wildlife, call your state's wildlife rescue service.

      The maker

      Paul PerthGame developer · Perth, Western Australia

      Paul is Thai and lives in Perth, where he runs Siam Sydney Services, a bilingual Thai-English tour company. He often shares tips with Thai travellers in Australia about road trips, and about one danger many visitors don't expect: hitting a kangaroo at dawn or dusk.

      That is why he made Roo Road Rescue. It is a game for fun, where kids can laugh, learn to slow down for wildlife, and get a feel for driving the real roads of Australia.

      FAQ

      Before you hit the road

      What do I need to play?

      A recent browser on a phone, tablet or computer: Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Nothing to install. On a phone, hold it upright. On a computer, use the arrow keys.

      Do I need an account?

      No, not to play. Signing in with Google or an email link lets you buy the full game, keep it on all your devices, and save your score to the world ranking.

      Is it OK for kids?

      Yes. There is no violence, no chat and no ads. The game rewards slowing down and keeping animals safe.

      Which languages does it support?

      English, Thai and Simplified Chinese. Switch at the top of this page, or at the bottom of the game's home screen.

      Can I get a refund?

      Is it coming to the App Store and Google Play?

      Yes, later. The web version comes first.
