Control Overview
Drive Mad is a physics-based driving game where you navigate vehicles through challenging obstacle courses. Keep your car balanced, avoid flipping over, and reach the finish flag on each level.
Slow and steady wins the race. Most crashes happen from going too fast over bumps. Ease off the gas before hitting ramps.
Gameplay Phases
Accelerate & Brake
Use the arrow keys or W/S to control your speed. Too fast and you will flip, too slow and you will not make it over obstacles.
Keep Your Balance
The key challenge is keeping your vehicle upright. Lean forward and backward to maintain balance on ramps and bumps.
Clear Obstacles
Each level has ramps, gaps, loops, and tricky terrain. Time your speed carefully to clear every obstacle.
Reach the Flag
Get your vehicle to the finish flag without crashing. Complete levels to unlock new and harder courses.
