In Race To Sanity, your goal is to survive the craziest places as you travel from one part of the world to the next until you eventually end up in your mind! In this physics-based ragdoll obstacle course, your goal is to travel a certain distance and fill up the progress bar at the top of the screen. There are five levels for you to enjoy before your sanity explodes of impatience. Unfortunately, the game does not save, so make sure you do not close out or quit early. Be warned; you will hate yourself every time you die without any reasonable cause because of bugs or glitches. At any point, your wheelchair can randomly thrust itself into the air as it glides through the invisible air. The physics in this game are clunky and cause spontaneous deaths at any point throughout the level. Be prepared to accept defeat or conquer where those have failed!
One of my favorite things is to speed up the man's wheelchair by pressing forward until white rays of light begin to break the space-time continuum. But, of course, if you find this too fast, you can always slow down play like the big baby you are! Real men love a challenge; take notes, ladies. It's not about the destination when it was always about the journey. This game is not for the weak so tread carefully, young warrior! Only those of brave courage might see the wonders of this beauty. That is if you succeed and beat all the levels.
SHORT STORY - FICTIONAL
First, the main character starts in an insane asylum where the goal is to escape the hospital horrors of toilets, beds, and filing cabinets that contain your paperwork! Once you get out of the crazy house, you find yourself on a lonely desert road dodging maniacal drivers. Here you will learn how powerful your arms are as you push the wheelchair to its most whole glory! "Flying through the open skies, here I come," said the shirtless man as his legs flailed left and right! Endlessly you find yourself pushing that wheelchair that binds you together because your legs have become noodles hoping to reach the other side before the inevitable strikes. Finally, as you grow tired and weary, you arrive at the local tavern, where you find piano tables, jukeboxes, and musical letters flying at incredible speeds towards your mortal body! Be careful with those loose glass bottles; you might slip and hurt yourself, laddy!
After surviving the bar, you stumble across an arcade with bright colors and retro-themed game machines. Here is where you shall learn about classic video games and their birthplace. "Oh my! this reminds me of my local rave," said the man in the wheelchair as he narrowly avoided being crushed by the towering box of computational magnificence. Lastly, we come to an extraordinary but unique level. A place that does not exist in reality. Only those of significant effort can face this challenge. It was the last level of the game, but I had to complete it inside my mind this time! Welcome to your brain as you ride the wheelchair past blood vessels, cells, and pills. Here, you can use ramps to lift off the gravitational effects of this planet to hover over moving obstacles while jamming to some sick rock and roll! These delusions will be no more once you complete the final level. A sense of peace and gratitude overwhelms the player as he beats the race to sanity.
