In the air

  • Let go of the gas as soon as you leave a ramp.
  • Before landing on a slope, tip the nose down to match it with the brake.
  • Take a crest fast and the car flies: ease off before it.

On the ground

  • On big whoops, slower is faster because the car stays on the ground.
  • Feather the gas on steep climbs; the tractor tips over backwards at full throttle.
  • Stuck on a ledge? Back up a little and try again with some speed.

Objects

  • A lift starts once every wheel is on it; its light turns green.
  • Board a moving platform as it comes towards you, then hold still.
  • A cracked plank bridge collapses behind you, so keep moving.
  • In the bus, crawl over the crest before a low bridge or the roof will hit it.

For three stars

Finish safely first, then learn where you can keep the gas down. Three stars usually means taking one risky section faster.

FAQ

Which level is the hardest?

Every tenth level is a long challenge, and the last one combines every idea.

Can I skip a level?

Only the challenge levels: the level after each one also opens once you finish the level before it.

What is the bot for?

During development a bot drove every level to prove it can be finished and to set the star times. There is no bot in the game itself.
