With a bit of a morbid twist, Happy Wheels Online gives the 2D side-to-side scrolling game a sense of the violent. Not the violence that comes with guns or weaponry, but in the form of bodily damage. The objective is to maneuver through the obstacle course in order to cross the finish line.
There are various characters you can choose from to run the obstacle courses. Each one has a different set of wheels and special abilities when you hit the space bar. Using the arrow keys to move forward, backward, shift your balance, and the special abilities combined, you need to get your player to the other side of the level without getting him killed. Dangerous hazards are all over the map to cause physical damage to your player and eventually, you limbs start coming off one or two at a time, depending on the damage taken. A fall from one height may cause your leg to fly off, while a drop from a higher locale will cause both of them to fly off. At one point, I was dragging a bloody stump, which used to be my leg, behind me as I raced toward the finish line.
The controls take a little bit to get used to. While using the wheel chair character, it was a bit difficult to get down the balance as I raced forward. Hitting the space bar for his jet packs (yes, jet packs on the wheel chair) would send him into a flying tizzy, at which point I slammed into the mountain side head first. I realized my character was dead from his head exploding and getting a small morbid chuckle out of the impact.
Since there wasn't a time limit, I could slowly take my time to cross the board. However, I soon found out that some areas require speed to make the jump. Otherwise, you fall for an extremely long time down a hole in the ground until you literally explode on impact at the bottom. Another chuckle.
I'm normally not one to advocate violence, but this game struck me funny for some reason. With plenty of animated blood flying about when body parts start coming off, this may get the attention of parents. However, its less than what most violent console games have and it is quite fun and challenging. If you are looking for a way to blow an hour or so, this game is definitely worth a look.
