Play in a variety of campaign levels to win prizes to customize your character, make your own creative levels and play with your friends.

Gameplay

Platform Racing 3 is a two dimensional online racing game where you battle other players in order to cross the finish line first. The maximum number of players in a race is eight. In addition, there are more than just races in Platform Racing 3. Other game modes in the game include Deathmatch (Where you fight with weapons against each other), Hat Attack (Where the goal is to have the most hats on top of your head), King of Hat (Where you fight for only one specific hat) and Coin Fiend (Where you have to collect the most coins by exploding mines or breaking bricks). At the beginning of races, players have a chance of winning a prize of either a hat, face, body or feet parts for their character. The first place winner receives the prize and players earn experience points for beating other players or by simply completing the race. Also, players in the game can head over to the "Level Editor" and/or "Block Editor" to put their imagination into action. If their levels are rated well and played enough, their level can be put onto "Best" or "Best Today". Last but not least, there are a ton of items you can get into your hands. By bumping your head onto a Question Mark block, you will receive any of the 14 items. These items include Angel's Wings (to fly), Black Hole (to sink other players in), a bow (to shoot players), a jetpack (to fly) a laser gun (to shoot players) lightning (to zap all players in the game for 2 seconds), portable block (to place as an obstacle), a portable mine (to place as an explosive obstacle), a rocket launcher (to shoot players and destroy blocks on contact), a shield (protection), speed burst ( a short duration of extra speed to surpass other players, super jump (another type of super jump to leap extra higher), a sword (to attack players) and finally, a teleport (to teleport through walls).

Graphics

The graphics bring great detail to the eye with simple techniques. Great players bring out their inner artistic skills and design amazing blocks and levels with lots of colours. There's not much more to say the graphics. Take a look at a few pictures below to see the graphics of a simple flash game!


Controls

The controls are really simple and easy to use making this game addicting for a younger audience from its simplicity. To run, hold the right and/or left arrows for how long as you want.To jump, press the up arrow. These controls also apply to the W, A, S and D buttons. For a super jump, hold down the down arrow until you're fully charged to take an enormous leap. Lastly, to use your item, press the spacebar. Your item will be placed in your hands once you have received it from an item/question mark block.
