** Explorer Guy, at the very least, is relatively fast and on wheels. Pogostick Man, on the other hand, has to hop everywhere, and moves about as fast as one might expect, rendering many levels completely impossible for him to overcome. His jumping skills, however, are rivaled only by Wheelchair Guy's rocket, allowing him to scale large heights and skip entire portions of certain levels.

[[caption-width-right:300:[[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Note the child sitting in the back.]]]]
A Flash browser game created in 2010 by Jim Bonacci that is like many other racing/driving browser games, except all the characters are MadeOfPlasticine and ride in vehicles with little to no protection aside from maybe a helmet.
Current List of Characters:
* Wheelchair Guy: A guy who appears like a stereotypical homeless person, with patched-up clothing, missing teeth, and a beard. He rides in a wheelchair which inexplicably features a rocket booster.
* Segway Guy: A guy in a suit that rides a [[strike:[[{{Malaproper}} subway]]]] segway that has the ability to jump and always stays straight up.
* [[BumblingDad Irresponsible Dad]]: Pictured at right, a man who rides a bicycle with (presumably) his young son riding on the back. [[EnsembleDarkhorse Also seems to be the most popular character.]] Often called [[FanNickname "Bike Guy"]] to fit the ThemeNaming of other characters.
* Efficient Shopper: An obese woman who rides an electric shopping cart with her groceries inside. Her weight makes her easy to tip over.
* Moped Couple: A man riding a moped with his girlfriend/wife riding behind him. The moped features a speed boost that briefly increases the speed by a lot, but of course not as much as Wheelchair Guy's rocket.
* Lawnmower Man: A black man riding a mower. Anything that gets run over gets shredded and swallowed up by the blades. Probably the most violent character so far.
* Explorer Guy: Largely based on ''IndianaJones'', he rides a heavy mine cart. Can link up and ride on rails by holding the space bar.
* Santa Claus: Sits on a sleigh, pulled by two elves. The first character with three people and without wheels. Can fly by holding the space bar.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AnnoyingArrows
* ArtistDisillusionment: Jim Bonacci made his opinions on the quality of most of user made levels quite clear.
* ArtEvolution: Version 1.6 adds realistic gore to the mix. Now the blood looks more like blood instead of red confetti.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: One user-created level "The Torture Gallery" featured a variety of horrific tortures, with the last one being a kid getting spanked.
* BloodyHilarious: If you like that sort of thing.
* BumblingDad: The Irresponsible Dad, natch.
* ButtMonkey: Timmy (and occasionally the woman on the moped and Santa's elves) are often either abused for hilarity, or used merely to set off traps which may kill the main character. Timmy can go flying quite far and is great for disarming harpoon traps.
* ChunkySalsaRule: A variation of the rule: [[OffWithHisHead You only lose control of your character if he or she is decapitated]] [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe or (after a few seconds) if he or she gets ripped in half.]] Until then, crossing the finish line by any means will count as a success, even if you lose other parts of your body or your vehicle and shimmy down to the finish {{QWOP}}-style. In the case of couple characters, this only applies to the man in front.
* CrowningMomentOfIndifference: Whenever the son of the Irresponsible Dad is killed, his only reaction is a flat and only slightly irritated 'dammit'. He sounds like he just lost a 5-dollar bet instead of seeing his son get horribly butchered!
* DeadBabyComedy: Literally, in the case of the Irresponsible Dad.
* TheDeterminator: All of the characters will keep going even after losing several body parts.
* FanNickname: Before the Efficient Shopper's gender was confirmed to be female, [[ImageBoard /v/]] referred to her as [[{{Valve}} Gabe Newell]].
** JustinBieber for the Irresponsible Dad's kid. [[TheScrappy There are even entire levels devoted to killing him.]]
** The kid is also known as Timmy and some fans believe his name is [[ADogNamedDog "Little Boy"]].
* HighPressureBlood: Any injury will spew forth a small fountain of blood, which will spray out around [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodbank a dozen gallons of blood]] before stopping.
* HiveMind: While playing as any of the characters that include two people, you control both, but you only notice it when the passenger is off the vehicle.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's possible for the Lawnmower Man to get killed by his own mower.
* InfantImmortality: Averted.
** "Dammit!"
* LetsPlay: One done by {{UberHaxorNova}}. And it is funny.
* LudicrousGibs: With remarkable attention to detail, including multiple organs, a coil of intestines (Which can hold the two halves of a body together), and multiple slimy chunks of each body part. If a character's body is destroyed completely, the camera follows the heart.
* RubeGoldbergMachine: Levels of the "Don't Move" or "Heart Donation" type are like this.
* SturgeonsLaw: In the early days of the game people would actually make real levels where the objective was to reach the end. Nowadays you will find the game populated mostly by guns, skeeball-type games, and "Kill Music/JustinBieber", with the platforming-type levels few and far between.
** Most [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks "Knife/Weapon Throw"]] levels are practically identical.
** Level designers [[CompletelyMissingThePoint telling you to Rate their level 5 if you win]] is the rule, not the exception.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: The Space Bar Ability of the Explorer Guy, the ability to attach to rails, can only be used if rails are made available and under no other circumstances. In all other instances he's slow, clumsy, top-heavy, and thoroughly useless.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The Irresponsible Dad. There is even a popular kind of level where the dad [[CompleteMonster is required to slam dunk the child like a basketball.]]
** Some levels feature harpoons which target the character and may kill them. Fortunately, they will target the child if you throw him in the way of them.
** This is taken [[UpToEleven absurd levels]] in some user-created levels. Examples include the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Harpoon Run"]], where your character ''will'' look like a Pin Cushion, assuming they even [[EverythingTryingToKillYou make it to the end]], and [[{{SweetBroAndHellaJeff}} It Keeps Happening]], which is basically just a long stretch of stairs with a booster at the end; even if you try to bypass the stairs and go flying, your character will eventually land...[[BloodyHilarious and explode into a mess of bodyparts and gore]]. And of course, the Lawnmower Man. Anything he runs over will be cut up. That includes people.
* XMeetsY: ''LineRider'' meets ''HappyTreeFriends'', or possibly ''Trials'' meets ''LittleBigPlanet'' plus extra gore.
* YourHeadAsplode: A decent hit to the head will cause it to explode gloriously.
