Happy Wheels

Gory physics game

Happy Wheels is a browser-based ragdoll physics game known for its graphic violence and dark humor.

Players navigate obstacle courses using various characters—a wheelchair-bound elderly man, a father with his son on a bicycle—often meeting gruesome deaths.

The game became a YouTube staple in the early 2010s, with creators recording exaggerated reactions to its bloody dismemberments: I spent way too many hours playing Happy Wheels in middle school.
