Hill Climb Race is a side-on driving game where you steer a small red car over rolling hills. The car bounces and tips with the slopes, so the fun is in judging how hard to press the pedals. Along the way you scoop up coins and try to beat your best distance.
How to play
Drive to the right over the bumpy ground and go as far as you can. A fuel bar at the top left drops as you drive, and the bar was seen refilling during play. A counter shows how far you have travelled, and a target or record distance is shown next to the fuel bar.
Coins worth 25, 50 or 100 sit along the track, and your coin total goes up as you collect them. The level screen shows coin totals and a price of 1000 next to one level, which suggests coins are used to open new levels. Speed up too hard on a slope and the car rears up on its back wheels, so ease off to keep it steady.
Controls
- D or Right arrow: accelerate
- A or Left arrow: accelerate in the opposite direction
- On mobile: tap the on-screen Gas and Brake pedals
Tips
- Watch the car's nose on steep climbs. If it lifts too high, ease off the gas or tap brake so it does not flip.
- Keep an eye on the fuel bar at the top left so you are not caught out.
- Coins often sit in arcs above the hills, so a gentle jump over a bump can pick up several at once.
- Save up coins from each run to open the next level on the level screen.
Who it's for
Suits children and families who like simple driving games. Only two controls are needed, but keeping the car balanced on hills takes a bit of practice.
