Funny Wheels is a physics-based game in which you control a wheelchair, navigating past traps and obstacles such as spinning spiked logs, swinging axes, cannons, lava, and slippery icy slopes. Every wipeout is sure to leave you in stitches. Use checkpoints to save your progress and outmaneuver three rivals across ten themed race stages.
The main mode consists of 12 levels, culminating in a glass of milk, the goal for completing World 1. Along the way, you’ll encounter 11 checkpoints, ensuring you don’t have to start from the beginning if you happen to wipe out.
In “Wheel Race” mode, you compete against Rocky, Zippy, and Luna in a single-lap race. The race runs through 10 themed stages, each one a single lap. It starts on a city street, ends in a “Grand Final,” and even includes a stage set at a volcano along the way.
Coins connect both modes. There are 136 gold coins hidden throughout the main game, each worth 5 coins—which you can spend on new outfits for your character or different wheelchairs. You start with three outfits and a classic wheelchair for free, making Funny Wheels easy to pick up and difficult to put down as you collect more items.
To move forward, press both keys simultaneously. Need to turn? Apply more force to one wheel than the other.
If the camera angle doesn’t feel right, use ‘I’ and ‘K’ to tilt it up or down, and ‘J’ and ‘L’ to rotate it. You can also use your mouse: hold the right mouse button and drag to look around, or use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
Moving hazards are scattered throughout the course: rotating logs, hammers, cannons, arrow traps, and swinging axes. Wooden crates may also come rolling down slopes. Interspersed among these are small puzzles, such as pushing a snowball into a glowing zone or pressing a button to open a gate.
Each checkpoint features a rope stretched across the path. Please roll over it to save your progress. Gold coins are scattered along the way, so it’s often worth taking a slight detour to collect them.
Be cautious of any glowing red objects, as they indicate spikes, blades, or hot surfaces, and maintain a safe distance from them.
Moving traps operate in a repeating cycle. Observe the pattern for a few beats before moving in, and seize the opening as soon as it appears. Hesitating halfway through is a sure-fire way to end up in a heap.
On narrow bridges or wobbly platforms, use gentle nudges rather than forceful pushes. If you see a speed boost pad ahead, align yourself early; an off-center approach will send you veering off to the side.
Start your turn earlier than you might instinctively think. Ease off on one wheel while continuing to push the other; this technique allows for a smoother turn. The “Street” stage in Wheel Race is a great place to practice this technique.
The “Ice” and “Glacier” stages feature slippery surfaces, meaning your wheelchair will continue to slide even after you stop pushing. Use light, controlled inputs and leave extra space before approaching slopes. In these areas, patience is more important than speed.
No. Finishing in the top three unlocks the next stage for free, though you can also use coins to unlock it ahead of time. Obstacles don’t appear until stage 2, making “Street” a gentle starting point.
