Remember Happy Wheels? It was a fun game about getting your character (or characters, depending on who you chose). Traps tried to stop you from reaching your goal and over time thanks to its addictive mechanics and promotion from Youtubers like Jacksepticeye Happy Wheels became a sensational hit. Today I may have found the new Happy Wheels; This is Guts and Glory.
Guts and Glory is a game made by HakJak and published by tinybuild. It is a casual racing indie game. The goal of every level is simple; Get to the end of the level in the fastest time possible but it's easier said than done. Traps are in your way to try and stop you. Crossbows, cannons and spikes are just some of the things you will have to deal with when going through a typical level in Guts and Glory
The game takes place on a vehicle. So far there are 7 playable characters however some levels are restricted to using only 1 or 2 but sometimes you can use all of them (especially in workshop maps). The controls feel nice and responsive which surprised me as most new games today fail to give that experience; Did I mention this game is in early access?
The game gives you an option to play or create. You can select from five official campaigns with roughly 5-10 levels each. Completing these will give you a place on the leaderboard depending on how fast you've completed it. There have been people who have completed the level in 0 seconds and this could only mean one thing, hackers. This ruins the whole point of scores and will need to be addressed before launch.
The game has a questionable UI however as it feels very basic with its bland and standard white box. The graphics on the other hand are very good and lean towards the style of Goat Simulator and Rust.
Now the best thing about this game is the workshop. Users can create levels and share them to the Steam Workshop. The in game Workshop browser is a feature I appreciate and makes up for the bland UI. Speaking of user-made levels the level editor is very easy to learn and anyone can make a decent level even without tutorials. New levels are uploaded daily and with over 2,000 already uploaded this game will keep you entertained for a very long time.
To conclude:
Pros:
Great steering mechanics
Well-thought community levels
Good selection of vehicles
Hats
Cons:
Hackers ruin the leaderboards
UI is simple
Not many achievements
Final score: 10/10
Solid gameplay with some great mechanics.
