Kicking back and killing some time while gaming on your smartphone or tablet can be a most enjoyable experience, especially when the game you are playing is Does Not Commute. It’s a game that involves driving a variety of vehicles around a small town set in the 1970’s, and as the name implies, the gameplay involves commuting.
Basically, you start off driving a dentist called Charles Schneider to work, and the streets are deserted, making it an easy commute. A few levels down the line and its mayhem as you attempt to steer a school bus to its destination without harming its passengers who scream every time they are in danger, which is pretty often with my driving skills. The controls are pretty basic, tap the left of the screen and the vehicle turns left, tap the right-hand side of the side to turn right. Each vehicle has its own characteristics, the lorry is slow and cumbersome with a wide turning circle, whereas the sports car is downright nippy and skiddy, you get the picture. As you progress you get a few more options such as being able to select turbo (ill-advised for the sports car) or traction control. You have to complete the level within a certain time limit, although you can collect extra seconds if you take some short-cuts.
While the game itself is free to download and play, if you want to save as you go along you will want to buy the one-time In-App-Purchase to enable the Premium version, otherwise you will have to start from scratch when you run out of time to get your vehicle to its destination. The premium IAP costs $1.99 (£1.60). Ordinarily I’m not a fan of IAP’s, and while the upgrade to premium isn’t a must-have feature, being able to save my progress was a welcome boon.
All-in-all, it’s a great little game that will help you waste some time in a most unexpectedly enjoyable fashion. Does Not Commute is compatible with Android devices running version 2.3 Gingerbread and above and can downloaded simply by clicking on the Play Store link below or by scanning the QR code with your device.
