Funtasia

I love this art style. The courses are very simple, jump over hills and don't get hit by obstacles, upgrade your car, reach the finish line and unlock the boss. The boss chases you on a different course than the one before, but it's the same car and background. I thought it was tiresome at first, like it would take forever, it's actually fairly tuned and didn't have any trouble besides my own whining. I'm on a second run, or starting over. It's meditative, I like how I can turn off my brain and look at each color/ object/ theme and reflect on what it means to me in my personal experience and what sort of feelings it invokes, and why I feel or think that way about them, noticing how associations change with time, and how art is heavily biased and influenced.

Funtasia developed by Fantastico Studio and published by indie.io is a colorful and unconventional take on the racing genre, blending side-scrolling platforming with physics-driven mechanics to create an experience that is equal parts playful and demanding. Set in a surreal world threatened by toxic pollution falling from the sky, the game frames its action around a cast of eccentric racers navigating hazardous landscapes in an effort to restore balance. The premise is lighthearted and imaginative, setting the tone for a game that prioritizes style and experimentation over strict realism. The gameplay revolves around guiding quirky vehicles across uneven terrain in a 2D side-scrolling format, where speed alone is not enough to succeed. Instead, players must constantly manage balance, momentum, and timing, adjusting their approach to each hill, jump, and obstacle. The physics system is central to the experience, giving every movement a sense of weight and unpredictability. Mastery comes from learning how to control these variables, making each successful run feel earned. However, this same system can also be unforgiving, as small miscalculations often lead to sudden crashes or lost…

I get the hate i guess but me and my son love this game, it's gotta cool old school Rob Zombie ish kinda art style and if you know you gotta slowly upgrade and get further each time till you get to the end and with endless continues it's never impossible to after a few tries to learn each boss's pattern and landscape to overcome, it does require perserverance but we had a blast, i will admit the original game HERO EXPRESS is as just as fun and less aggrevating if you find this a tad overbearing but love the idea search for HERO EXPRESS it is their first game the one this one is modeled after thogh it does not have as cool as an art style you will find it slightly more accesible

Wow this game is kinda lame. My eleven year old played it for 15min and then said she was bored and wanted to do something else. I wouldn't spend money on this game. I don't remember buying it, it was just in my library one day.

I like the wacky graphics, but that's all. It is a vehicle platform runner where you have to keep up momentum. It is best suited for mobile because every level has a different car that you need to upgrade with a painfully slow grind. The whole game is built for grinding.

This is a stylish Earn to Die game. Get it when 80% off. Some stages are significantly harder because you cannot outrun the boss.
