Funny Wheels

Let me say it straight: the most striking thing about Funny Wheels is that you never fully control the wheelchair. Each key pushes exactly one wheel, so every turn carries a bit of luck. Why is that? Keep reading and you'll see. This guide gathers the rules, the controls and a few short tips so you can jump in and roll right away.

What Is Funny Wheels

Funny Wheels is a physics game that runs in your browser, on desktop and mobile, in landscape. You steer a wobbly wheelchair through a course full of traps: spinning spiked logs, swinging axes, cannons, lava and icy ramps. When you fall, you go back to the last checkpoint. Falls are ragdoll falls, so they look hilarious. The game is built for one player aged 8 and up.

How to Play Funny Wheels

The goal on the main course is clear: reach the end of the road and drink the milk to finish World 1. The course has 12 levels and 11 checkpoints, so each fall costs only a few seconds. One rule fits in a single sentence: anything glowing red is dangerous.

Along the way, you collect gold coins, each worth 5 coins. You spend coins on new outfits or wheelchairs. You can also enter the Wheel Race, a one-lap race mode against three rivals named Rocky, Zippy and Luna. It has 10 stages, and the length grows from 300 to 900 m.

Controls

  • Keyboard: A or ← pushes the left wheel, D or → pushes the right wheel, and pressing both rolls you forward.
  • The R key takes you back to the last checkpoint, and Esc or P pauses the game.
  • The Space key puts the camera behind the wheelchair, and the I, K, J and L keys adjust the view.
  • Touch: tap the left and right wheels on screen to push each one, and tap both to roll forward.

Tips and Tricks for Funny Wheels

I picked the tips that are easiest to remember, and all of them follow the game's own rules:

  • Push both wheels in an even rhythm to go straight, and push one wheel more to turn. The wheelchair wobbles quite a bit, so a steady rhythm helps you hold your direction.
  • See glowing red? Avoid it first and think later.
  • Ice and Glacier are marked as slippery, so push lightly and evenly on these two stages.
  • Finishing in the top 3 unlocks the next stage for free, so you can save your coins for new gear.

Give the First Wheel a Push

Funny Wheels doesn't ask for steady hands from the start. Two keys, one wobbly wheelchair and a few falls are enough to begin. Jump into the first level and push each wheel to see what happens. A checkpoint is always close, so falling is fine.
