About

Hillbound

Features
Read full description

Hillbound: Offroad Drive is a relaxed hill‑climb driving game. Take a red offroad jeep across six hand‑drawn worlds, collect coins, upgrade your car and finish the journey stage by stage. SIX WORLDS, THIRTY STAGES Green Hills, Woodland Trail, Red Canyon, Golden Desert, Snowy Pass and The Lighthouse. Each world changes the terrain, grip and scenery. Bridges, gaps and long descents are laid out by hand, and every stage can be finished with the starter car. SIMPLE TWO‑PEDAL CONTROLS Gas and brake. In the air, gas lifts the nose and brake lowers it. Balance the jeep over jumps, land safely and keep the coins. GARAGE Three vehicles: the balanced Trail Jeep, the light Buggy and the heavy Monster. Upgrade engine, tyres and suspension, grow the vehicle and pick a paint colour. FREE DRIVE AND ENDLESS Drive unlocked worlds with a fresh route every time. Endless sends you down one road that tours all six worlds and gets rougher as you go, and it keeps your personal best. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY A seven day reward calendar with a streak, three missions a day and a personal 28-day season track. Driving earns experience, and every level pays out in coins. FUEL After your first ten free drives, story, Free Drive and Endless starts cost one can, and the tank refills on its own. Crashing on a stage never costs anything: retrying is always free. An active Premium subscription provides unlimited fuel. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your progress is kept on your device and in the cloud under a nameless game account, so a new phone does not mean starting over. JOURNAL Finish a world to earn a postcard and read a short piece of the journey. Ads include optional rewarded videos and interstitials between drives after the introductory grace period. Ads never interrupt driving. Monthly and annual Premium subscriptions remove ads, provide unlimited fuel and free continues, double pickup coins and season rewards, and unlock Gold paint while active. Payment is charged to your store account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your store account settings. Previous one-time Premium purchases remain valid. Coin packs are optional. DAILY TRAIL A different trail each day, free of fuel costs, with a stock Jeep. Set a time and race your own ghost. Your first daily finish earns coins and season points. Finish on seven different days to unlock Midnight paint; consecutive days are not required. TURBO AND TIRE SETS Hold turbo for a burst of speed. Driving and perfect landings recharge it. Equip mud, sand or snow tires in the workshop and trade a little speed for extra terrain grip. Share a picture of your best drive with friends.
