Crazy Car Stunts

This is a stunt-arena car game rather than a race, built around loops, ramps and floating obstacles. As with other light-chassis stunt titles, the trajectory is fixed at take-off but the fast in-air rotation is both the tool and the hazard — you must actively level the car, and it will happily over-rotate if you let it. Loops demand a minimum sustained speed, one of the few places where too little speed rather than too much is the failure. The arena setting means you often choose your own approach to a stunt, so setting up a straight, correctly-speeded run at each obstacle is half the skill.

This title is best suited to players who want free-form stunt driving with demanding air control.

1. Set up a straight, correctly-speeded approach to each stunt; the arena lets you choose it.
2. Fly the car level in the air; it spins fast and never settles itself
3. Carry enough speed through loops; too slow drops you off them.
4. Land as flat as possible, since a light car punishes angled landings.

• Arrow keys or WASD to drive and rotate in the air

Objectives

• Complete the stunts and obstacles in the arena
• Clear loops and ramps with the right speed and attitude

The run ends or fails when

• Touching down at an angle and rolling
• Dropping off a loop for want of speed
• Missing a ramp or obstacle gap

• A light body that rotates quickly and lands intolerantly
• Loops needing a minimum sustained speed
• Open arena allowing self-chosen approaches
• Take-off fixing the flight path before the jump

• Use the arena freedom to line up straight approaches. A bad angle into a stunt cannot be fixed mid-air.
• Loops fail from too little speed, not too much. Commit to them.
• Fly the car actively. It will over-rotate the moment you stop correcting.
