About Hill Climb
Drive across generated hills with gas and brake controls and travel as far as possible before fuel reaches zero and the car stops. Fuel starts at 100; while gas is held, speed gains 0.15 and fuel loses 0.08 each update.
Brake reduces speed by 0.2, general speed is damped by 0.99, and speed is clamped between -2 and 6. The terrain slope also changes speed by subtracting sin(slope angle)×0.08.
How to Play Hill Climb
1Hold Right or the right half of the game to use gas.
2Hold Left or the left half to brake when downhill speed or a slope transition needs control.
3Keep moving while conserving enough fuel to extend the distance record.
Hill Climb Rules
- Gas consumes fuel continuously while held.
- There are no fuel-can pickups in the current runtime despite an old source comment mentioning them.
- Game over occurs only when fuel is at or below zero and car speed drops below 0.1.
Hill Climb Scoring
| Action | Points | How it works |

Hill Climb Game Mechanics
Objective
Drive across generated hills with gas and brake controls and travel as far as possible before fuel reaches zero and the car stops.
Round End
The run ends when fuel is depleted and the car slows below 0.1 speed.
- Fuel starts at 100; while gas is held, speed gains 0.15 and fuel loses 0.08 each update.
- Brake reduces speed by 0.2, general speed is damped by 0.99, and speed is clamped between -2 and 6.
- The terrain slope also changes speed by subtracting sin(slope angle)×0.08.

Tips & Strategies
- Release gas on downhill sections to carry momentum without spending fuel every update.
- Use brake sparingly because slowing too much after fuel is gone can trigger the end condition sooner.
