Incredible Crash Dummies

Incredible Crash Dummies was one of those physics-based games you'd find during the Flash era. It came out in 2004, and it was developed by Zanardi and Liza. The game felt like a straightforward toy, a simple concept built for a browser window.

You control a crash test dummy strapped into a little vehicle. Your job is to launch it into a brick wall. You adjust the angle and power of the launch, then let it fly. The dummy tumbles and smashes through the wall, and you try to break as many bricks as possible. Sometimes you'd click to interact with objects in the scene, maybe to trigger something for a better score. The game moves quickly from attempt to attempt, and getting a high score requires some precision. It feels like a controlled, satisfying destruction.
