Indian Auto Support

Welcome to the official support page for Indian Auto — pick up sawaris, dodge the gaddhas, and slow down for the cow. We're here to help you have a smooth ride.

Playing the Game

• How do I steer?
  Three ways, switchable in Settings → Control. Swipe flicks you one lane at a time — a longer drag keeps stepping across lanes. Steer lets the auto track your thumb anywhere on screen and settle into the nearest lane when you let go. Tilt steers with the phone itself. All three drive the same auto; pick whichever suits your hands.
• Tilt does nothing on my device.
  Tilt needs a real accelerometer, so it does not work in the iOS Simulator. On a real iPhone or iPad it should work immediately — the game calibrates to however you are holding the device at the start of each run, so playing lying down is fine.
• How do I brake?
  Hold your finger down. In Swipe mode, hold anywhere in the lower third of the screen; in Steer mode, keep holding but stop moving your thumb; in Tilt mode, hold anywhere. The auto's rear lights come on so you can see it is happening.
• How do I honk?
  A short tap, in any control style. The horn is not decoration — it warns animals ahead and genuinely makes them move aside. A goat bolts; a cow ambles a few inches and continues to think about it.

Karma

• What is karma, and why does it matter?
  Karma is the game's reward for driving considerately. It builds a Karma bonus that multiplies your earnings at the end of a run — and in Sharif Driver mode, karma is the score.
• How do I actually earn it?
  Three ways, whenever something alive is on the road ahead: slow down for it (worth the most, because it costs you the most), honk to warn it, or move over in good time when you were heading straight for it. You also earn a small amount just for driving a stretch without hitting anything, and marigold garlands on the road are worth karma when collected.
• My karma went negative.
  Hitting something alive — a cow, dog, goat, a kid chasing a ball, an ambulance, a wedding baraat — costs karma, always more than any single good deed pays. If you were braking hard and simply ran out of road, the penalty is less than half: the game can tell the difference between trying and not caring.
• The game told me to slow down.
  That prompt appears once when you are bearing down on something alive with time still to react. It is a hint, not a penalty.

Modes, Autos and Progress

• How do I unlock the other modes?
  Sawari Mode and Sharif Driver are open from the start. Bhaisaab Mode unlocks at 1.5 km driven, Dabbawala Dash at 2,500 Chillar earned, and Monsoon Mayhem after 15 completed fares. Tyohaar Mode appears only on a real Indian festival day. Each locked mode shows exactly what it is waiting for.
• How do I get new autos?
  The Garage sells twelve, from the Mumbai Kaali-Peeli up to legendary truck-art builds, bought with the Chillar you earn by driving. Many carry a perk — extra earnings, better handling, an extra heart or a wider coin magnet.
• Do I lose my progress if I reinstall?
  Yes. Progress is stored on your device, not on a server, so reinstalling or switching devices starts you fresh. There is no account to sign into and nothing we can restore from our side.
• “Couldn't save your progress.”
  The game could not write to your device's storage — almost always because it is full. Free up some space and your next run will save normally.
• How do I start over?
  Settings → Reset everything. It is immediate and permanent.

Ads and Rewards

• I watched a video but got nothing.
  The reward is only granted once the video has played far enough to count. Closing or skipping it early pays nothing — the game will say so and you can simply try again.
• “No video right now.”
  Nothing was available to show, usually because you are offline or the next ad is still loading. Wait a few seconds and tap again. Your run and your earnings are never affected.
• Do ads ever interrupt a run?
  No. Full-screen ads only appear between runs, never during one, and new players see none at all for their first few runs. Video rewards are always opt-in — nothing plays unless you tap it.
• Can I change my tracking or consent choice?
  Tracking is under iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Where a consent form applies to your region, a Privacy options row also appears in the game's own Settings.

Languages and Leaderboards

• Which languages does the game speak?
  Twelve: Hinglish, English, Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia. Change it any time in Settings → Bhasha — it applies immediately, with no restart.
• The leaderboard says I'm signed out.
  Global boards use Apple's Game Center. Sign in under iOS Settings → Game Center. If you would rather not, the game keeps its own board of your best runs on the device and everything else works exactly the same.

Game Features Overview

• Six modes — endless Sawari, reckless Bhaisaab, timed Dabbawala Dash, rainy Monsoon Mayhem, patient Sharif Driver and a festival-day Tyohaar mode.
• A karma system that pays — slowing down for a cow, warning a goat, yielding to an ambulance and waiting out a baraat are all scored, not just tolerated.
• Twelve autos to collect — regional liveries from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Lucknow and beyond, each with its own perk.
• Three control styles — swipe, steer or tilt, plus a horn and a brake.
• Twelve languages, switchable in-app without a restart.
• Plays offline — no sign-in and no signal required.
