Past projectA whistle-powered racing game for a toy brand
A browser racing game for Whistle Racer, a range of toy cars that go faster the harder you blow. Players click when the whistle icon glows to launch and boost, and swap cars to get past each obstacle.
The brief
The game took the toy online. Codes on the back of the box unlocked a second series of cars, and national and global leaderboards with Facebook sharing gave buyers a reason to keep playing.
What we did
- Side-scrolling racing game drawn on an HTML5 canvas with CreateJS
- Timing mechanic: click as the whistle icon glows blue to launch and boost
- 16 cars in two series, with box codes to unlock Series 2
- Nine household and outdoor levels, from the kitchen to the garden, with obstacles that need the right car
- Upgrades, national and global leaderboards, guest or Facebook login and score sharing
Screens from the project
The first image is concept art showing how we would build Whistle Racer today. The others are the original game.
The result
The game ran on its own domain, whistleracergame.com, which the Internet Archive captured in August 2018 and July 2019. A copy is still hosted at whistleracer.webfootprint.co.za, and the first stage still plays in a current browser.
