Download and Install:

  • Launch the game to initiate your playing experience. You'll be guided through a short tutorial that explains how to engage with the various mini-games.

Understand the Goal:

  • Your main objective is to navigate a series of rapid-fire mini-games, where you must prevent the characters from meeting their demise in absurdly silly manners. Each mini-game is time-limited, requiring quick reactions to avoid fatal errors.

Basic Controls:

  • The controls will vary between mini-games, including swiping, tapping, dragging, and tilting. For instance, you might swipe to eliminate wasps, tap to flick away piranhas, or tilt your device to keep a glue-eating character steady.
  • Pay attention to the instructions provided before each mini-game to determine the required action. Precision and speed are crucial, as each game is time-sensitive!

Mini-Game Examples:

  • Run from Fire: Swipe or tap to maneuver the character away from the flames.
  • Remove Forks from Toasters: Carefully drag forks from toasters without getting electrocuted.
  • Balance the Glue Eater: Tilt the device to keep the glue-eating character upright and avoid a fall.
  • Swat Wasps: Quickly tap on wasps to remove them before they sting the character.
  • Avoid Piranhas: Flick the screen to swipe away piranhas and shield your character from a painful bite.

Increase Difficulty:

  • As you advance, the mini-games become faster and increasingly complex. You'll need sharper reflexes and improved accuracy to keep the characters alive.
  • Each mini-game is random, ensuring that gameplay remains dynamic and exciting, as you can never predict the next challenge!

Earn Points and Unlock Characters:

  • Completing each mini-game successfully rewards you with points. The more points you accumulate, the more silly characters you will unlock for your train station.
  • By achieving high scores, you will also gain access to the iconic music video that inspired the game.

Create Your Own Character:

  • Utilize points or achievements to personalize your own Dumb Ways character. Choose from various facial features, accessories, and outfits to design a one-of-a-kind character for your collection.

Failing a Mini-Game:

  • If you fail to complete a mini-game in the allotted time, the character will meet a "dumb" end, resulting in the loss of a life.
  • You begin with three lives, and once all are depleted, the game concludes. Aim to keep as many characters alive as you can to extend the gameplay experience.

Stay Safe Around Trains:

  • While the game is entertaining and humorous, it also conveys an important safety message regarding trains. Certain mini-games, such as pulling a character away from the edge of a platform or waiting responsibly at a crossing, remind players to exercise caution near train tracks.
