The Incredible Crash Dummies Overview
The Incredible Crash Dummies is a platform game where the player controls a crash test dummy navigating hazardous environments. The core mechanic involves avoiding dangers like moving vehicles and fireballs, with each collision resulting in the loss of a limb.
These limbs function as a health system, where the game ends only after all are lost. The character's mobility is not affected by these losses, treating each limb essentially as a single hit point. Players can recover by collecting screwdrivers scattered throughout the levels, each restoring one limb. Progress is measured by completing stages within set time limits, making the pacing challenging.
Released during a period of public debate over video game content, its premise of a destructible dummy engaged in perilous action presented a contrast to its publisher's stated educational intent regarding road safety.
