Car Crash Games Online: Simulators, Smash Runs and Arenas
Updated
Car crash games online are driving games where hitting things is the point: you crash into cars, scenery and barriers and watch the damage, and a few turn the idea around and ask you to avoid every crash. In a browser they come as crash simulators, smash-everything drives, ramp launches, arenas with weapons and runs where you avoid traffic. Below are the kinds, with games from the catalog for each.
| Kind | What you do | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Crash simulators | Drive into cars and obstacles and watch the damage | Mega Car Crash Simulator |
| Smash-everything drives | Plough through scenery, barriers and traffic | Crash & Smash Cars |
| Ramps, arenas and zombies | Launch off a ramp or fight in an arena | Stunt Car Crasher |
| Avoid the crash | Keep clear of every other car | CircleCrash |
From crash tests to crash games
Wikipedia's article on the crash test describes a form of destructive testing, usually done to ensure safe design standards. A frontal test, for example, sends a vehicle into a solid concrete barrier at a set speed. Browser crash games borrow the drive-it-into-something part. None of the games below is a safety test: the damage is the point, and some of them score it.
Crash simulators
- Multiplayer Car Crash Simulator lets you join other players in real time and collide on city streets, past destructive obstacles. WASD drives, Space is the handbrake, Shift is nitro and C changes the camera.
- Mega Car Crash Simulator asks you to crash every target car and survive each level, with timed missions. You lose if you run out of HP or drive off the edge. WASD drives and Space is the handbrake.
- Car Destruction King is a derby-arena game whose description promises realistic physics and dynamic mesh deformation, with parts flying and metal twisting in real time. Its cars run from muscle cars and pickups to armored monster trucks. You play with a click or a tap.
- Stunt Car Crash Glass sends you after AI-controlled cars to collide with them for maximum wreckage, over levels that ask for more accuracy as you go. WASD drives.
More driving, from parking to drifting, is in car games online.
Smash-everything drives
- Crash & Smash Cars has 5 cars and 3 locations: a big city, a canyon and the countryside. Smash glass, trees, rocks, walls, fences and even bus stops, but leave the road signs alone, because destroying them costs points. The arrow keys drive.
- Bus Crash Stunts is bus driving with a demolition arena. You can lose parts of the bus and break it completely, and there are races, long jumps and a nitro. WASD drives, F is nitro, C changes the camera and B looks back.
- Car Smash Obby 3D is a run through 36 obstacle courses in six worlds in a car that can fall apart. Time your run past swinging hammers and crushers, and boost into barriers for stronger impacts. A and D steer, Space boosts and R goes back to the checkpoint.
- Racing Crash has you crash all the cars on the road on the way to the finish line. Bump them off the road for coins, and merge cars in your garage to get more powerful ones. Drag or use the arrow keys to steer.
Bus games with other jobs, from city routes to ramp stunts, are in bus games online.
Ramps, arenas and zombies
- Stunt Car Crasher is one long launch: go full throttle down a high ramp, jump off the cliff, then drift when the car lands. The farther you drift, the more points you earn. The up arrow is the throttle and the down arrow the brake.
- Car Crash Star is a car battle with cartoon armed vehicles. Eliminate every enemy vehicle to survive each map, collect items and use the weapons in them. WASD moves and J and K attack.
- Tug Pull Crash Challenge is a tug-of-war arena for customized cars. Hold the accelerator to pull your rival toward the crushers, manage the engine heat and upgrade wheels and body parts. Hold Space, W or the left mouse button to pull, and let go to ease the engine.
- Crash Em Zombies is a one-tap game: tap or click to change the car's direction and run down zombies along the way. Avoid obstacles and collect boosters for a higher score.
More ramps and jumps are in stunt games online.
Avoid the crash
Some games with crash in the title ask for the opposite: stay out of the way.
- Crash Racing Game is a low-poly highway race where you weave through traffic, avoid obstacles, collect rewards and chase a higher score. The arrow keys steer on a computer.
- CircleCrash puts your car on a ring road with other vehicles, and you avoid collisions while collecting coins for new vehicles. You play with a click or a tap.
- Pixel Circuit Racing Car Crash GM is a 3D race where you tap the screen to change lanes and avoid collisions with another car.
