How to play

Pick a vehicle, from a bicycle to a truck, ride a rollercoaster track, fire the thruster at the right moments and launch off the ramp into a stadium full of ducks. You score by how far you go.

The thruster has limited fuel, so pick your moments. Whatever is left in the tank still fires once you are in the air. Every vehicle has its own mass, drag and thrust-to-weight, so each one needs a different run. On a phone, use the on-screen thrust button and tilt stick.

  • React Three Fiber
  • Rapier physics
  • Web Audio

The track ride is a custom rail simulation in plain TypeScript; flight, landing and crashes run on Rapier. Engine and crowd sounds are synthesised live with Web Audio, so there are no audio files to download.
