Hill Climb Racing

Hill Climb Racing is a fun and addictive racing video game that places great focus on physics and puzzle-solving. The main goal of the game is to drive as fast as possible on a set of increasingly rocky tracks while keeping your vehicle upright and the driver uninjured.



To provide a challenge on short and fun tracks, the way to success requires gamers to keep constant attention on their gas and brake pedal, fas gauge, and the orientation of the driver at all times. Because of the rocky terrain and fun physics that are affecting the driver and vehicle, in mere seconds you can find yourself flipped upside down and dropping to the ground.

As you progress through the wide variety of levels that are bundled with Hill Climb Racing for PC, you will quickly encounter large hills and harsh environmental obstacles that will cause you to have a very bumpy ride. But even such obstacles can be conquered using not only perseverance and perfect driving but also with the help of the car upgrade system that can make your experience on the field much easier.

Each time you finish the stage, the player is rewarded with special coins that can be used to either upgrade their current vehicle or unlock a brand new one! Vehicles range from realistic to very silly and fun (such as an off-road monocycle), and they all feature unique handling models that will make them completely distinctive once you try them on the field.

The visual style of Hill Climb Racing is very simplistic, and it resembles the time when crude browser-based flash games ruled the casual gaming landscape. While the graphics are far from the modern standard, animations are quite smooth and snappy. While it is true that this game could benefit much from better audio/visual and gameplay polish, it is still worth playing, especially on older PCs and laptops that cannot handle more demanding modern games.
