Back in 2010, designer, programmer and artist Jim Bonacci (also known as Fancy Force) released the 2D side-scrolling, ragdoll physics-based browser game Happy Wheels to the unsuspecting world.

Now, after 16 years, five million user-created stages and untold decaptiations later, the game is finally on Steam.

A glorious flashback to the kind of Flash-based browser nonsense that was all the rage a few decades ago, Happy Wheels sees an electric cast of playable characters – including Santa, a businessman and a vagrant – astride an even crazier selection of vehicles, with the objective being to make their way to the end of the level in as close to one piece as possible.

There's a level editor, achievements, and full controller support – and you can even link your existing Happy Wheels account to your Steam ID. Long-standing players will also like the fact that this is a totally ad-free version, and there's a "Level Browser Select Date feature, for deep dive into ancient levels of the forgotten past," says the developer.

Happy Wheels is available now for £4.59.
