Hill Rider is a hill climb driving game: a little red jeep, a cool driver in shades and a road that never stops going up and down. Hold the gas, ride the hills, keep the jeep on its wheels and reach the checkered flag before the tank runs dry. Coins, flips and long jumps pay for upgrades in the garage. If you like Hill Climb Racing, you'll feel right at home.

Hill Climb Racing has been one of the most played games on the web for years, and the idea is as good as ever: two pedals, real physics and a road full of hills. Hill Rider brings it to your browser in short levels, each a few hundred metres of hills that ends at a checkered flag — with a springy jeep, a driver in shades and four worlds to drive through.

The jeep is properly simulated. Its two wheels sit on coil springs that squash on every landing, the tyres grip or slip, and the motor pushes the body the other way — floor it and the nose lifts, brake hard and it dips. In the air the pedals tilt the jeep: gas rotates it backwards, brake forwards. Use that to land on both wheels after a jump. Land on the roof and the driver bumps his head — that run is over.

Fuel drains as you drive, faster on the gas, so pick up the red cans along the road. If the tank runs dry the jeep rolls to a stop wherever it is. Coins sit in rows and arcs over the hills, a blue gem is worth five coins, and every full flip in the air pays 25 more. A long jump and a smashed crate pay too. Each level hides three gold stars in the hard places: high over a jump, on a hanging bridge, above a crest.

Between runs, spend coins in the garage before you set off: Engine for power and top speed, Suspension for springier landings and more control in the air, Tyres for grip on steep climbs and snow, 4x4 to drive the front wheels too. The road throws something new at you level by level — rope bridges that sag under the wheels, ravines to jump, boulders, stacks of crates, cliffs and steep walls — and the road runs through green meadows, desert dunes, snowy mountains and the Moon, where gravity is low and every bump is a jump. Out of fuel or flat on your roof? A short video puts you back on the road with a full tank, once a run. Hill Rider runs on desktop, phone and tablet, saves your progress in the browser, and ranks the highest levels on the leaderboard.

Hill Rider sits between two of the most played physics driving games in the browser. Like Hill Climb Racing it is about gas, brake, fuel and an upgrade garage; like Drive Mad it asks you to get one small vehicle over bridges, ravines and awkward bumps without flipping it. If you came looking for games like Hill Climb Racing, Hill Climb Racing 2 or Drive Mad, this is the one to try next.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hill Rider free to play?

Yes. Hill Rider is free on crokocat with no download and no sign-up — it runs in your browser on desktop, phone and tablet.

Is Hill Rider like Drive Mad?

Both are physics driving games where balance matters as much as speed. Drive Mad is a run of obstacle-course levels with no fuel or upgrades; Hill Rider adds Hill Climb Racing's fuel tank, coins and garage upgrades for engine, suspension, tyres and 4x4.

Is Hill Rider like Hill Climb Racing?

It plays on the same idea — drive a car over hills with gas and brake, mind the fuel and upgrade the car. Hill Rider is a separate game by crokocat with its own jeep, levels and worlds.

Why did my run end?

The driver's head touched the ground (the jeep landed on its roof), the jeep fell into a ravine or got stuck on its side, or the tank ran dry and the jeep rolled to a stop.

How do I stop flipping over backwards?

Ease off the gas on steep climbs and tap the brake: the motor lifts the nose, the brake brings it down.

Which upgrade should I buy first?

Suspension, then Engine. Tyres and 4x4 help most on steep walls and snow.

How do I get three stars?

Catch all three gold stars on the way to the flag: one usually floats high over a jump, one hangs over a bridge.

What does nitro do?

It pushes the jeep forward hard for a couple of seconds, on the ground or in the air. You start with three; a short video gives you more.
