Gameplay
In Enduro it comes to pass in a predetermined time, the target number of vehicles. The requirements get higher from level to level (one level corresponds to one day): On the first day the player has to overtake 200 vehicles. The number of vehicles to be overtaken increases by 300 every day.
As the game progresses, the weather changes: the player has to drive through a snowy road that makes the car slide, making it more difficult to control. When it gets dark he can only see the other cars with the help of his headlights; all obstacles that are not illuminated are not visible to the player.
