Just Shut Up & Drive is an indie 3D racing game heavily inspired by the classic Out Run, combining a retrowave vibe and very pleasant pixel art graphics with fluid arcade-style gameplay. It was developed by Mushy Jukebox (umutdervis) and initially released in 2010.
The game was originally published for browsers (Flash) and quickly gained popularity, accumulating an impressive 71 million views in just four years. I recently discovered that there’s also a refined and rebalanced downloadable version for Windows, which is also available for free.
With its retro feel, stylized visuals, and references to genre classics, Just Shut Up & Drive promises an intense experience—and it definitely delivers. It’s a game with smooth, engaging controls that’s well worth a try. In fact, just shut up, step on the gas, drive, and have fun!
You can get the game here! Alternatively, there is an online and harder version, free as well.

Gameplay
In the role of a driver in a blue sports car, seen from a third-person perspective (view from behind the car), the goal is simple: accelerate as fast as possible towards the horizon, overtaking your rivals and completing the course before time runs out. The game features 10 unique tracks, each with challenges that require speed and precision. Beyond just finishing the race, you can also earn bonus points by overtaking other vehicles in risky maneuvers and/or maintaining a high speed.
Whether you’re racing against the clock or aiming to achieve the highest score by overtaking your opponents consecutively, Just Shut Up & Drive is a straightforward game. It features simple controls for those who just want to feel the adrenaline of burning rubber on the road, leaving your rivals in the dust and trying to reach that elusive background scene that never seems to arrive—a hallmark of titles like Out Run, Top Gear, Lotus, Lamborghini American Challenge, and Horizon Chase Turbo.
According to its creator, a session of Just Shut Up & Drive lasts about an hour.
