Okay, confession time: I’m terrible at driving games. Like, “I’ll probably crash on the first corner” terrible. So when I stumbled across Escape Road, I figured, “Hey, it can’t be that hard if you just rotate the road and not the car itself, right?” Oh, how wrong I was.

The Earth is a magnet for gravitational force and all objects are permanently drawn toward this pull.
Yohoho.io, a survival game that forces players to kill one another before the gas can destroy them. Yohoho.io assigns players the responsibility of improving their character and killing the enemies to make them the last person alive. To make their characters stronger, players can kill their enemies and collect gold to upgrade their level.
