Description
A squirrel. A dirtbike. Gravity-defying tricks. And, of course - nuts. In Wheelsprung, you’ll flip, weave, and launch through obstacle-filled courses in a whimsical, hand-drawn world. Bounce off seesaws, soar between bookshelves, and discover hidden surprises. Nail the perfect run, beat your best time, and climb the leaderboards to prove you're the fastest squirrel on two wheels. But speed isn’t everything. Admire the hand-drawn environments; from a tiny house in a snow globe to eerie bedroom monsters. Powered by Playdate’s first full physics simulation, Wheelsprung brings every movement to life. Lean to fight wheelies, feel suspension compress, and harness centrifugal force. Master the physics to find unconventional routes, perfect tricky landings, and pull off moves no one else thought possible.
