About Happy Wheels

Happy Wheels is a physics game about ragdolls on wheels making bad decisions. You pick a character — the businessman on a Segway, the dad and son on a bike, the wheelchair with a rocket — and steer through a hand-built obstacle course of spikes, harpoons, wrecking balls and land mines, losing limbs along the way. Jim Bonacci released it in 2010 and it became the internet's favourite way to laugh at cartoon injury.

The original ran on Flash and had millions of user-made levels; the browser version here is a rebuilt selection of the classic levels with the same physics, characters and controls. Levels are short, deaths are instant and hilarious, and the goal is simply to reach the exit in one piece — or in as many pieces as it takes.

How to play Happy Wheels

Accelerate / brake

↑ / ↓

Lean

← → (rotates your vehicle in the air)

Special action

Space (boost, jump, or fire — depends on the rider)

Eject

Z — leap off your vehicle

Grab

Shift / Ctrl (when ejected)

1. Choose a rider on the character screen. Each has different weight, speed and a special move: the Segway boosts, the wheelchair has a rocket, the bike can wheelie.
2. Steer through the level with the arrow keys. Leaning matters in the air — land on your wheels, not your head.
3. The exit sign ends the level. Some levels require ejecting (Z) and climbing on foot.
4. Losing limbs slows you down but doesn't always end the run. Losing your head does.

Happy Wheels tips

• Lean back (←) before drops and forward (→) before ramps; the wheels need to land first.
• Ejecting at the right moment sends your character flying further than any vehicle can go — useful for gaps.
• The wheelchair's rocket is a brake as well as a boost: fire it in reverse to slow down before a trap.
• Learn a level's traps by dying to them once. The game expects it.
