Happy Wheels is a legendary side-scrolling ragdoll physics game created by Jim Bonacci and released in 2010. The game became a massive viral hit thanks to its unique combination of physics-based gameplay, graphic ragdoll violence, and dark humor. Players choose from a roster of characters — including a wheelchair-bound old man, a reckless Segway rider, and an irresponsible dad on a bicycle with his child — each with unique vehicles and physics properties. The core gameplay involves navigating through obstacle courses filled with spikes, mines, wrecking balls, and other deadly hazards. What truly sets Happy Wheels apart is its powerful level editor, which has allowed the community to create millions of custom levels ranging from precision challenges to absurd mini-games. The over-the-top ragdoll physics make every crash and catastrophe entertaining, turning failure into the most fun part of the game. It remains one of the most played browser games of all time.
