City Taxi is one of the shooting games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Shooting games are really about attention: City Taxi rewards the player who tracks several moving things at once and picks the right one to deal with first. A few things the tags reveal: it uses hardware-accelerated graphics in the browser; it is a driving game where handling and road awareness matter more than raw speed.

Tips and tricks
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Driving game, keep your eyes far down the road — you will react earlier to what is coming.
- Because this is a Webgl game, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if it stutters.
