Hill Truck: Climb Without Flipping
Gas and brake are your only tools against a relentless landscape of hills. Keep the wheels down and the momentum up.

Controls
Hold the right pad for gas, left for brake. Arrow keys work on desktop.
How to play
- Feather the gas on climbs — full throttle flips you on steep crests.
- Ease off just before a summit so the truck lands nose-down, not nose-in.
- Use the brake on descents to keep the tilt gauge centred.
- Momentum is free speed: coast through troughs instead of accelerating.
- Tilt past the critical angle and the run ends — watch the horizon line.
About this game
Hill Truck is physics driving at its most honest. Two pedals — gas and brake — are all you get against a procedurally rolling landscape of climbs and dips. The truck tilts with the terrain, momentum carries it over crests, and the entire game is the delicate art of keeping those two facts in balance. Tip past the critical angle and the run ends in an undignified roll.
The terrain is generated from smooth sine waves, which means every hill is readable in advance — the skill is not seeing the slope but judging how much speed the next crest needs. Too little and you stall halfway, sliding back with your nose pointed skyward; too much and the truck goes light over the top and lands nose-first. The sweet spot is feathering the gas through the trough and easing off just before the summit.
Distance is scored in metres and your best is saved locally. There is no timer, no fuel gauge and no coin trail — the game is simply you, two pedals and an endless profile of hills that get gradually more dramatic as you travel.
On touch, hold the right pad for gas and the left for brake; on desktop the arrow keys do the same. Runs last from thirty seconds to several minutes depending on how conservative your right foot is. It is the rare driving game where patience is literally faster.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly ends the run?
The truck tilting beyond its critical angle in either direction — a full flip in other words.
Does the terrain repeat?
No, it is generated from overlapping sine waves, so the profile keeps evolving as you travel.
Why do I stall on steep climbs?
You are carrying too little momentum into the base of the hill. Build speed in the trough before the slope starts.
Is there a fuel limit?
No. The only limits are physics and your patience with the throttle.
