Test your driving finesse and solve wacky physics puzzles in this clever platformer!
Drive Mad is a brilliantly designed physics-based platformer and puzzle game disguised as a simple driving challenge. The goal on each level is to carefully navigate your car over a wildly impractical and often gravity-defying track to reach the finish line without flipping or destroying your vehicle. The gameβs charm lies in its exaggerated, yet consistent, physics engine, which turns every bump and ramp into a strategic problem. Unlike pure driving simulators, speed is often your enemy in Drive Mad Unbanned. You must approach obstacles slowly and with precise throttle control. The comparison is strong to trials bike games, but with the added instability and weight of a full-sized vehicle. A crucial tip is to always use the brake to balance yourself mid-air when your car starts to tip over.
The controls for Drive Mad Unbanned are elegantly minimal, focusing all your attention on throttle control. Use the Right Arrow or D key to accelerate, and the Left Arrow or A key to brake/reverse. The secret to mastering Drive Mad Unbanned is the feathered throttle technique. Instead of holding the gas, use short, gentle taps to maintain minimal speed and maximum control. When traversing extremely bumpy or steep sections, a very slow speed is almost always required. Use the brake to prevent your car from tumbling forward down a steep slope. Drive Mad Unbanned offers a rewarding sense of accomplishment when you finally conquer a level that seemed impossible, blending puzzle-solving with high-skill driving.
