Stunt Crazy

A lot of good free games have been released this month. So many that I do not have the time to play all, let alone review them. One of the good games that I have found on Kongregate is Stunt Crazy by the team known as thePodge.

Okay, a truck without wheels does not look very impressive.

Stunt Crazy is a driving game on a 2D-platform. Roughly. The player is a stuntman (or stuntwoman for those of you who insists). Using the keyboard control, he/she drives a car up and down the playing field destroying movie props and performing stunts and is rewarded with fame and a cut of the box office takings. Money earned is used to upgrade the player's vehicles so the player can create more mayhem on set.

Things to do.

The player has a choice of movie studios to work for, each with six movies in the making. Medals are earned by completing objectives in the movie stunts. The objectives are always collecting movie reels but the job briefing tries to make it sound more exciting. And it can be exciting, for the imaginative player.

Collecting the reels is not always straightforward. On some movie sets, the player has to figure out a way to get the vehicle (or a missile) to each reel, which may be hidden among or behind obstacles. As only three tries are allowed per set, it involves a bit of thinking, planning and skill on the part of the player.

It is really hard to drive and grab a screenshot at the same time.

In addition to working for movie studios, the player can also organize a stunt show. This is basically a free run on the playing field for the player to, well, destroy things and perform stunts. Putting on a good show rewards the player with fame and money. Hopefully, the profits will be enough to cover the costs.

Pick a venue.

There can be more on the screen but it's hard to take a screenshot when the PC is busy complaining about all the processing it has to do.

Stunt Crazy is an exciting driving game with challenges that tests the player's mental abilities. It combines the joy of driving destructively with the fun of figuring out ways to meet objectives.

Please do not drive the same way in public.
