How many people can say they have never played a quick flash game when working at the computer? I'm guessing not many! We've all sneaked a flash game at work, while doing homework or while we are pretending to use the computer for a serious matter like looking up information or writing up a report. The popularity of these games kind of gives us away!
The reason for flash game popularity is quite frankly that they are so very addictive. And what could be more addictive than a poor guy or a reckless Dad being torn to pieces. Well, if you agree that this can be addicting then you need to have a go at Happy Wheels. This gameis a purely bloody physics-based vehicle online flash game which lets you randomly choose your character and vehicle, the aim of the game is to lead your character to victory, but beware along the way you may shed into pieces if you drive your vehicle too hard.
Happy Wheels combines bizarre obstacle courses with a consistent damage system, the injuries your character sustain during the game. The life like injuries are what really sets it apart from similar games. The cartoon graphics of the injuries have just the right level of detail but remain cartoony enough that you won't get too grossed out but with a touch of realism giving it that morbid feel. The obstacle courses mix a little bit of traditional platform gaming with some puzzle and racer elements, the courses are really original at times. You'll drive full speed into towers to knock them over and continue on your way or set off explosions at just the right moment to get some obstacles out of your path.
So how the damage system works! The first time you crash into something with your head, maybe your helmet will split in half and fall off your head, but then you might stick a landing poorly instead of rolling with it and bust your ankle. Fall down a couple more times and you might wind up without legs from the knee down, grabbing the handlebars as you whip up and down ramps, through vacuum tubes and across collapsing bridges. The more the character is injured, the harder it becomes to operate your character and finish the level.
The characters of the game are:
