When I first opened Crazy Flying Car, I figured it was just another racing game. Then my car spread its wings, left the road and shot across a gap with nothing but a bottomless drop underneath, and I understood why I kept hitting replay. It's an online game, so you can open your browser and play right away, with nothing to install or download.
One Question, Over And Over: Fly Or Not?
The car moves forward on its own, so all I have to do is steer. That's exactly why every bit of my attention goes into one decision: stay on the road to play it safe, or gamble on a flight to cut the course short? The tracks float in mid-air, with ramps, gaps and obstacles. Every one of those spots is an invitation, and also a trap.
What It Actually Feels Like To Play
On the road, I dodge obstacles and look for openings to pass the AI cars. It's slower but there are fewer surprises. In the air, the car glides over the gap and can land on a section much farther ahead. One good flight has let me pass several rivals at once. One bad flight sends the car straight into the abyss, and that costs me far more time than driving slowly ever would.
| Factor | Driving on the road | Flying a shortcut |
|---|
| Speed | Steady | Can be much faster |
| Risk | Hitting obstacles, getting blocked by AI cars | Falling into the abyss if you drift off line |
| Best when | You're in the lead | You're being left behind |
Controls
Computer: press A or the left arrow to steer left, D or the right arrow to steer right.
Phone: tap or swipe to steer the car left or right.
There are only two directions, but steering cleanly during a landing takes a surprising amount of feel.
A Few Tips I Picked Up After Many Runs
- Don't fly everywhere. Some safe stretches of track are faster than forcing a shortcut and then recovering from a fall.
- Line up before leaving the road. I point the car toward the section I want to land on before taking off, because it's hard to correct once you're airborne.
- Watch the landing spot, not the edge. Keeping my eyes on where I want to land makes my steering much smoother.
- Take risks when you're far behind. When you're dropping in the rankings, flying is the fastest way to catch up.
- Prioritize clean landings. Saving a few seconds in the air means nothing if you miss the track.
