If you want to play a fun game where you have to avoid obstacles based on physics, try Funny Wheels. You’re controlling a shaky wheelchair, physically pushing each wheel to get past deadly perils and make it to the ultimate milk goal. Every error ends in a floppy, laugh-inducing ragdoll collapse.
The cadence of diving into the cheerful, low-poly world is awkward, yet deeply engrossing. There’s always that precise, calculating wheel push across a tight bridge, and then the terrifying high-speed dash down a steep hill. The physical feedback is fantastic; you can hear the crunch of gravel, the ominous whoosh of swinging axes as you try to retain your footing. You’re never really in absolute control, so snapping the rope at one of the 11 checkpoints feels very rewarding.
Survival depends on quick reflexes to evade moving perils, including spinning spiked logs, cannons, and glowing red carpets. You also have to solve tiny environmental challenges, such as pushing snowballs into certain zones to clear your path ahead.
You’ll also be battling three AI competitors on 10 different race courses, in addition to the main course. Run over tracks from city streets to flaming volcanoes, trying to get third or better to access the next arena.
Funny Wheels is a physics-heavy challenge that is more closely related to vintage ragdoll masochism games such as Happy Wheels than it is to regular high-speed racers. It swaps passive advancement for raw, skill-based mechanical inputs, with failing being half the enjoyment. For casual gamers who like mastering purposefully awkward control schemes and have the patience for trial-and-error gameplay, there is unlimited pleasure here.
The pure humour of the wipeouts is the best part of this physics brawler; even your worst failures are incredibly hilarious. There are some notable laugh-out-loud moments, such as while dodging a swinging hammer only to be catapulted by a hidden trapdoor. However, for the less patient, the controls can be a little annoying during the longer, icy Glacier racing portions.
Today in Funny Wheels, grab the rims, face the swinging traps, and earn the milk goal.
