Don’t Crash Dummy — The Future of Safety

Don’t Crash Dummy is not a game about how horrible your driving is.

is not a game about how horrible your driving is. What it is about is a Crash Dummy. In space.

Space is considered by many to be the final frontier — it is the last place that humans have not conquered (if you exclude the bottom of the ocean and the inside of the earth, anyways, but “final frontier” just sounds so dramatic). Don’t Crash Dummy envisions a universe where we have already conquered space, and all that is left is to fling crash dummies at the more dangerous aspects of it — wouldn’t want to harm ourselves now, would we?

Don’t Crash Dummy uses multiple control schemes over its three levels to give you three games in one. In the first, you simply have to move around using tilt controls (plus tapping to avoid moving objects). The longer you can avoid flying objects, the higher your score. Get a high enough score and you’ll unlock the second level: spaceship safety tests. That is to say, you’re piloting a spaceship, and the test is that you need to not crash into everything. Similarly to the first level, getting a high enough score will unlock the third and final level. Also like the first level, you control your flight with the accelerometer. The last level is an endless runner, where your dummy is dodging everything from black holes to missiles for as long as possible.

Don’t Crash Dummy, from Bryan Carvalho, is coming soon to Blackberries, Windows Phones, and iOS and Android devices near you. You can read more about it here.
