While we’ve profiled several free flash racing games — such as 3D Deathrace — on the site before, few of our profiled racers have combined a physics game with a side-scrolling racer. In fact, only Cyclomaniacs did that. But Extreme Trucks I melds physics with racing as well, giving the player a bump- and hill-filled dirt track to play around with. Oh, and a monster truck.

The downside of Extreme Trucks I is the lack of other racers on the field. Rather, the player’s challenge is to keep their truck upright, losing lives every time the truck lands wheels-up after a flip or bump. Ultimately, this is a less interesting gameplay mechanic than you’ll find in Cyclomaniacs, where failed flips will simply put you back at the last checkpoint, costing you valuable time versus your opponents.

Ultimately, Extreme Trucks I provides a compelling combination of speed, balance and decent graphics for a free flash racing game. It’s worth a play, so check it out below.

Brick breaking is one of the most successful casual game genres of all time. Of course, that’s in no small part due to Brick Breaker being the Solitaire of the BlackBerry. But there is still a huge amount of diversity in the genre, and here’s we’re looking at Click A Brick, a fast-paced installment of the brick breaking genre.

In Click A Brick, the player must click on multi-brick combinations to eliminate groups of bricks. If the player doesn’t click fast enough, the bricks will build up to the top of the screen, as they’re constantly falling from above (think Tetris, but faster and with far less strategy needed).

For a free online game, Click a Brick is pretty good. The graphics are sufficient, and the mechanism is a good time killer. Ultimately, there isn’t too much meat to the game other than being able to click really, really quickly. This makes the game somewhat less interesting than, say, Tetris.

To continue our exploration of simple free flash racing games, Play Free Game Now takes a look at 3D Deathrace, a somewhat nontraditional “racing” game. First, there are no other racers here — it’s simply you and a bunch of trees. In addition, it’s unclear what the benefits of going fast are — other than the fact that it’s more fun that way.

Rather, 3D Deathrace resembles a cross-country obstacle course, with the objective being survival rather than fast completion of the track. In the game, the player pilots a motorcycle through a swamp-like forest (at least, that’s how it looks to me) in the middle of the night. It’s a strange experience made even stranger by the objects (fuel, repairs, money, nitro and “slow”) that you can pick up along the way. They pretty much all do what you would imagine — including “slow”, which temporarily slows your bike down and actually lets you get some control over what you’re doing.

All in all, this is one of the better racers we’ve profiled here at Play Free Game Now. It’s definitely nontraditional, but the motorcycle / swamp concept is a pretty interesting one. Just avoid the trees.

In our quest for the simplest free flash racing game, we’ve stumbled upon an early leader here in Oldskool Racer. Unlike Box Racers, there isn’t any way to modify your “skills” or “health”, nor are there even concepts of “skills” or “health.” And more than one track? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This simple flash racing game is just that: Simple. You have a car that’s slightly faster than all other cars, and you must pass the rest of the field in three laps to win. Reaching and staying at top speed is easy in this free flash game, since the concept of “hitting the wall” is totally absent. Turns and obstacles on the track are little more than decorative elements, as the car “turns” for you whenever you approach a sharp change in track direction. Sound silly? Well, it kind of is.

The real game, then, is about passing other racers. They’ll try to block you, and the only type of collision you can have with other cars is a strange example of simplified positive feedback: the car that is behind (even if it’s mostly a side-to-side collision) gets shoved back, and the car that is in front gets pushed forward. Thus, passing can turn into a really, really frustrating endeavor against an unrealistic physics model.
