Start with the right version
Press Play on this site to open Mheep’s original itch.io build. The author lists mouse-only controls for this edition. Click inside the game before using its menus. It is not the 2026 Steam release, and its rules should not be used as a full-game walkthrough.
Make the first run a learning run
Read the available upgrade text before selecting. Watch what changes after a loop and after a gate crossing; these are different moments in the run. Aim to understand one effect rather than assembling a complicated combination immediately.
Use the garage and gate tutorial
The post-Jam update adds a gate-placement tutorial and makes the gold display a button that opens the garage. Use the in-game tutorial to learn placement rather than guessing from the track artwork. Keep a note of the gates you already placed before buying or changing one.
Change one thing at a time
After a disappointing race, identify what stopped progress: too little score, insufficient speed or a fuel problem. Change one relevant choice and compare the next attempt. This is a diagnostic method, not a guaranteed winning route.
Keep your run safe
The surrounding site cannot read, back up or transfer the embedded game’s save. Reloading the player may interrupt a run. Finish or save inside the game before resetting it, switching devices or clearing browser storage.
Game editions: original Jam, browser Demo and Steam release.
