Can you put the world’s most determined stuntman back into the limelight? Combo, boost and pull ludicrous stunts as Joe attempts to race his way back into the record books in over 100 eye-popping levels. Leap school buses full of screaming kids and pools of ravenous sharks! Dodge spikes and mousetraps!
The player takes control of Joe Danger, the world's most determined stuntman, as he races to reclaim his spot in the record books across over 100 vibrant and challenging levels.
The core gameplay revolves around performing a variety of stunts and tricks while navigating obstacle-filled tracks. Players must use a combination of jumping, boosting, and precise timing to clear gaps, dodge hazards like spikes and mousetraps, and string together impressive combos.
Rather than simply completing each track, the game tasks players with accomplishing various objectives to earn stars and unlock more challenging content. These objectives can include collecting a certain number of coins, achieving a target score, or completing the level in one continuous combo. Earning stars in a level allows players to unlock "Pro Medals," which provide an additional layer of difficulty and replayability.
One of the highlights is the robust level editor, which enables players to create and share their own custom tracks. This feature adds tremendous replay value, as each player's creations can provide unique challenges and experiences. The community-made levels can be downloaded through the Steam Workshop, further expanding the game's content.
While the game has a lighthearted, cartoon-inspired aesthetic, reviewers emphasize that the gameplay is anything but casual. The "easy to learn, hard to master" design provides accessibility for new players while still offering a significant challenge for more experienced gamers. This balance is cited as a key factor in the game's widespread appeal.
Across the various levels, players encounter a diverse array of obstacles and hazards, including school buses, shark-infested pools, and traps like spikes and mousetraps. This variety, combined with the objective-based progression system, encourages repeated playthroughs as players strive to perfect their runs and earn higher scores.
The game also features local multiplayer modes, allowing friends to compete against each other in head-to-head races, and leaderboards that enable players to track their progress and compete with the broader community.
