Wear the Helmet
About Wear the Helmet
A scooter, a flat pixel road, and a short list of things that will end the ride: barricades, roadblocks and open sewer holes. It is a side-on endless runner driven from the keyboard, so the whole game is spacing — obstacles arrive at a steady rate and you decide how early to move. The sewer holes are the awkward ones, because they sit flush in the road rather than standing up in it and read differently from the solid barriers around them. Distance is the only score, and the road keeps feeding you the same three hazards in tighter combinations.
How to Play
- Use the keyboard to steer the scooter as the road scrolls past.
- Move around barricades and roadblocks before they reach you rather than as they arrive.
- Watch the road surface itself for open sewer holes — they lie flat and are easy to miss.
- Keep going as far as you can, since distance is the only thing being scored.
