Carnado Stunt Car

What you do in the game

The whole city is the playground. Poki lists ramps, bridges, ports and secret spots to find, plus hidden missions and a collection of cars. You can drive alone or share the screen with a second player. Because nothing forces you down one road, a good first session is simply to drive and see what the city offers, then decide which ramp or bridge to try.

You accelerate with W or the Up arrow and brake with S or the Down arrow. A and D, or the Left and Right arrows, steer. Space makes the car jump, which matters when a ramp or a gap is in front of you. The game lists drifting as something you do through traffic, so a turn is not only a way to change direction; it can be part of a stunt.

Poki also lists a few utility keys. ESC pauses the game, R resets, and C changes the camera. Try the camera early, because a different angle can make a ramp or a bridge easier to judge. The camera key is worth learning early. If you cannot judge a landing from one view, press C and look at it from another, and use R when a stunt leaves the car in a bad spot.

Poki describes drifting through traffic as part of the fun. Without a fixed route, you choose your own goals: chase a hidden mission, test a ramp or simply collect more cars. The collection of cars gives the game a long tail: Poki lists more than one vehicle to find, so the exploring has a reason beyond the jumps.

Before your first run

• Spend the first drive on empty roads to learn how the car turns before you try a ramp. Empty roads let you learn braking and steering without a crash ending the lesson.

• Switch the camera with C until you find the angle that shows you the landing. A different view can turn a risky jump into a clear one.

• Use R when you get stuck instead of fighting the car. It is faster than driving back, and it keeps the session moving.

• Pause with ESC to check the keys when you return to the game. The list of keys is longer than in many games, so a pause is a safe place to read it.

• Look for bridges and ports; Poki lists them among the stunt spots. Searching the listed spots is the quickest way to find what the city holds.

A good fit if you like

Players who like open-ended driving, stunts and collecting vehicles more than strict races.

What may put you off

• Poki says nothing about age suitability for this game. That is a general note about the listing, so check the Poki page if age matters to you.

• Poki is supported by advertising, so ads may appear around the game on poki.com. Ads are Poki's choice, not this site's, and they can appear around the game on poki.com.

• With so many keys, the first few minutes can feel busy. Seven or more keys is a lot for a first run, and a keyboard is easier here than a touch screen.
