How do I pick up savari (passengers)?

People wait at bus stops along the route, and the HUD shows how far the next stop is and which side it's on. Drive through the pink SAVARI zone painted on the road below 70 km/h and they hop in: +10 XP each. The HUD warns you if you're too fast. Passengers still on board at the finish pay their fare in sikke, so hold on to them. Rivals can knock them off.

How do Dhakka, Maaro, Chori and Hack work?

• Dhakka: no button needed. Steer hard into a rickshaw right beside you while you're moving fast and you side-slam it. A harder swerve hits harder. Rivals will do the same to you.
• Maaro: swing your weapon (lathi, cycle chain, hockey stick, cricket bat or bijli danda) at the rickshaw beside you to slow it, knock off its passengers or turn it over.
• Chori: stay side-by-side with a rival for a moment to steal battery with your jumper cables.
• Hack: keep the rickshaw ahead in range for a moment and your phone cuts its motor.
• Pheko: drive through glowing Jugaad crates to grab an item. Drop a kela peel, oil slick or kanche marbles behind you, or throw a matka, rang colour bomb or sutli bomb at the rickshaw ahead.
• Horn: rivals just ahead wobble and lose speed. Nitro gives a boost but drains your battery, so use the green charging lanes.

What are the controls?

The game plays in landscape. By default it uses Simple touch buttons: ◀ ▶ to steer and a small brake on the left; one smart MAARO button (weapon when a rival is in reach, horn otherwise) and NITRO on the right. CHORI, HACK and PHEKO buttons pop up only when you can use them. Speed builds automatically.

Prefer every action on its own button? Choose Settings > Touch buttons > Pro. To steer by tilting your phone, choose Settings > Steering > Tilt; on iPhone, allow motion access when asked. You can also turn off auto-accelerate in Settings.

How do I earn sikke?

Finish races (higher places win bigger prizes), deliver passengers for fares, and collect the coins lying on the road. You can also claim the daily bonus. Watch out for traffic police: passing a hawaldar above 70 km/h gets you a challan. Sikke bags are also sold in the Shop if you want a head start, but they're never needed. Sikke have no real-world value. Spend them in the garage on rickshaws, upgrades, paint jobs and weapons.

How does the daily bonus work?

Open the game once a day to collect free sikke. Come back on consecutive days to grow your streak and the bonus gets bigger. Miss a day and the streak starts again.

Are there ads?

No. Since version 2.1.2 Eriksha Rash has no ads at all. If you still see ads, update the game from the App Store or Google Play. If your battery runs out in a race, you can recharge it with sikke: the first recharge in a race costs 1,000, the next 2,000, then 4,000.

What can I buy, and how do I restore or refund a purchase?

The 🛒 Shop (Dukaan) on the home screen sells the Starter Pack (CNG Auto + 5,000 sikke + 3 Jamanat), the CNG Auto and Baraat Express rickshaws, Jamanat (bail: carry on a police chase after getting caught) and sikke bags. Everything is optional. Payment is handled by the App Store or Google Play; we never see your card or UPI details. If something you bought doesn't show up, open Settings > Restore purchases (on the same Apple or Google account), or write to us with the date and item. Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play (your Play order history).

How do I save my progress or move to a new phone?

Your progress is saved automatically to your guest account and on your phone. To keep it when you change phones, add your email address in Settings > Account. We'll email you a one-time code; enter it in the game to link the email.

On your new phone, install Eriksha Rash, open Settings > Account, enter the same email address and type in the code we send. Your rickshaws, sikke and rank come along. We only use your email for sign-in codes and account messages, never marketing.

How do I delete my account?

Open Settings > Account > Delete account and confirm. Your account and cloud progress are deleted immediately and the game resets on that phone. You can also ask us by email. See the account deletion page for all the details.

The game runs slowly or my phone gets hot.

Open Settings > Graphics and choose Low. Closing other apps and keeping your phone charged also helps. If the game still struggles, email us your phone model.

How do I race my friends online?

Tap Multiplayer on the home screen. Race dhoondho finds a race with other drivers (computer drivers fill empty seats). To race friends, choose Create Room and share the link or the 4-letter room code; friends open the link or choose Join Room. Multiplayer works between iPhone and Android, and needs an internet connection. If it can't connect, check your connection and try again; updating to the latest version of the game helps on slow networks.

Still need help?

Tell us your phone model, its iOS or Android version, the app version, your Player ID (shown in Settings) and what happened. A screenshot helps too.
