GTA · New York City

An homage to the original GTA (1997), rebuilt as a top-down New York. The whole island of Manhattan — and it's yours to cause some trouble in.

The full Manhattan street grid, rendered top-down and alive. Eleven avenues, forty-odd streets, Central Park, both rivers, two bridges, and a working subway — built from real pixel-art and ~3,000 hand-placed street objects, all rendering live in your browser.

Walk a Midtown sidewalk, then press G to carjack the nearest car and tear off into traffic that actually obeys the lights. Switch between knife, gun and RPG, leave wrecks and chaos in your wake, find a subway entrance and fast-travel across the island — all while an elevated train rides the El line and leaves drift in the wind.

The city, day and night

Sandbox features

  • Carjacking & driving

    Walk up to any car, press G, and take the wheel with arcade physics. The camera follows; pedestrians scatter.

  • Traffic that obeys the lights

    A synchronized signal cycle stops cars on red and sends them on green; they brake for each other and stay on the road.

  • Three weapons

    Knife for melee, a hitscan gun with tracer and muzzle flash, and an RPG that fires a rocket and explodes in a chain.

  • Subway & fast travel

    A live minimap, a full-screen city map, and real subway lines — step into an entrance and warp across districts.

  • A living city

    Taxis, trucks, police, ambulances and buses on routes; five types of pedestrians wandering; trees that sway and drop leaves.

  • 3D buildings & real NYC

    Every block is extruded with an oblique projection for real height — plus Central Park, Broadway's diagonal, and five subway lines in the real NYC colors.
