Fling a crash test dummy down stairwells, off cliffs, into wrecking balls and through walls of crates. Every hard hit scores points, head knocks count extra, and every broken bone earns a bonus. When the dust settles, an X-ray shows exactly what you broke. - 20 test courses: stairwells, ski jumps, rooftops, a pinball table, rocket sleds, a 40-metre cliff and a mountain of crates - Real physics: every tumble is different, so no two throws play out the same - Grab and throw: start your drag on an ankle, an arm or the head to fling the dummy by it and change how it lands - Three gravities: Moon, Low and Earth, each with its own targets and leaderboards - Bouncy mode turns every hard hit into a trampoline - Daily test: a new course for everyone each day, with its own leaderboard - Online leaderboards, shared with players on the Crash Test Arcade website - Slow-motion replays of your biggest hit, and video clips to share - Race the ghost of your own best throw - Three stars to earn on every course, in every mode - Put a face photo on the dummy (the photo never leaves your phone) No sign-up: pick a player name and you're on the leaderboards.
