Happy Wheels demonstrates that all it takes to see a given type of game is for it to become a smashing success on the web. The game's simplistic visuals, vibrant colors, and exaggerated body dynamics were all deliberate choices to make it look irreverent. You take control of one of many riders and guide them through a series of levels in this 2D platformer, complete with dangerous obstacles and perilous jumps. Trying out the new vehicles and getting a feel for how they handle uneven platforms with varying degrees of speed, weight, and structure makes you want to keep playing.

Happy Wheels was a huge hit a few years back, and all the big names in gaming got in on the action by playing and contributing to the game. The novelty has worn off, but the peculiarities and difficulties remain. Playing the game at a serious level could make it challenging to complete each level without making a single mistake. You never know what kind of layout the level may have in store, therefore it takes time to learn and master each vehicle. But really, all it is is a ridiculous game where you have to guide unsuspecting victims through perilous obstacle courses.
