Hill Climb Racing is a lightweight HTML5 version of the popular 2D physics-based driving game. Drive across steep hills, deep valleys, dangerous jumps, and uneven terrain while collecting coins and keeping your vehicle under control. With simple controls and challenging physics, every journey tests your timing, balance, and driving skills.

Developed by Fingersoft, this Lite version offers faster loading and smoother gameplay across desktop and mobile devices. Take on challenging tracks, unlock new vehicles, improve your upgrades, and see how far you can climb.

Explore World Tour Levels

The World Tour mode features handcrafted levels with unique finish lines and challenges. Travel through different environments, complete stages, and unlock new worlds as you progress.

  • Countryside
  • Seasons
  • Moon
  • Super Countryside
  • Neon

World Tour also introduces Cartapult, a feature that lets you launch back into the run after a crash without starting over, helping you continue your journey.

How to Play Hill Climb Racing

Control your vehicle carefully as you accelerate over hills, brake on steep slopes, and adjust your rotation while airborne. Collect coins, watch your fuel supply, and avoid dangerous landings to keep Bill Newton safe.

Controls

  • Desktop: Press D or the Right Arrow to accelerate.
  • Desktop: Press A or the Left Arrow to brake.
  • Mobile: Tap the right side of the screen to accelerate.
  • Mobile: Tap the left side of the screen to brake.

When your vehicle is airborne, the same controls help rotate it forward or backward. Adjust your angle before landing to avoid flipping over or causing a dangerous crash.

Obstacles and Driving Challenges

Each run takes you across difficult terrain, including mud, ice, bridges, steep hills, deep valleys, and massive gaps. Maintain control on fast downhill stretches and approach jumps with the right speed and landing angle.

Fuel canisters and batteries help you survive longer. Missing fuel pickups can end your run, while poor landings and excessive rotation can cause serious crashes. Learn how momentum and vehicle physics work to improve your performance on every attempt.

Vehicles and Upgrades

Start with a Jeep and unlock different vehicles designed for various driving challenges.

  • Monster Truck: Crush obstacles along the track.
  • Motocross Bike: Perform agile maneuvers across uneven terrain.
  • Tank: Enjoy powerful driving performance.
  • Moon Lander: Tackle lunar terrain.
  • Santa's Sleigh: Experience festive hill-climbing adventures.

Visit the Garage to improve your vehicle and handle increasingly difficult terrain.

  • Engine: Increase power and acceleration.
  • Suspension: Improve stability and landing performance.
  • Tires: Gain better grip on challenging surfaces.
  • 4WD: Improve your ability to climb steep inclines.

How to Earn Extra Coins

Collect coins throughout your runs and earn additional rewards by performing daring stunts.

  • Air Time: Stay airborne longer to earn more coins.
  • Back Flip and Front Flip: Complete clean flips for bonus coins.
  • Neck Flip: Attempt this rare landing for extra coins, but be aware that it ends your run.

How Can You Lose a Run?

There are two main ways to end your run in Hill Climb Racing Lite:

  • Running Out of Fuel: Missing too many fuel canisters or driving aggressively can leave your vehicle without fuel.
  • Breaking Bill Newton's Neck: Crashing or landing incorrectly can end the run.

After either failure, you can respawn at the current stage and try again, using what you learned to improve your next attempt.

  • Perform flips when you can maintain control and aim for bonus coins.
