- Worth noticing
- Its fictional Pothole FM headlines pair council delays, transit apologies and tobacconist jokes with a recurring road-hazard bulletin.
Field notes
The page gives the game its own local-news layer: Pothole FM runs fictional headlines about Sydney Road craters, replacement-bus replacement buses, Myki readers and tobacconists. Its hazard guide distinguishes obstacles to dodge from illegal-tobacco cartons that restore energy, and the listed controls cover steering, braking, pausing and sound. The site describes the game as playable in modern desktop and mobile browsers.
