Tire Launcher: Hook the Spike

Poke a tire loose with a stick, land it on a moving ramp, and send it running up a chimney to hook on the spike at the top. A timing game. Too fast or too slow and it will not stick. (The game's text is in Japanese.) ■ How to play - Tap the screen and the man pokes the tire with his stick - Each poke nudges the tire further along the axle until it comes free - The power bar at the bottom swings back and forth the whole time - Whatever the bar reads the instant the tire comes free becomes its speed - A man carrying a ladder walks back and forth in front of the chimney. Hit the ladder and the tire runs up the wall - Timing, power and the ladder man's position all have to line up ■ Hook the spike There is a spike on top of the chimney. Too fast and the tire flies over it. Too slow and it never reaches. Get it right and the tire drops neatly onto the spike. ■ Windmill stages On some chimneys there is a windmill instead of a spike, and its sails fling the tire away. The view cuts to a side-on shot and you try to land as close to the target as you can. ■ Ten stages Distance, the ladder man's speed and range, the swing of the power bar and the roughness of the ground all shift from stage to stage. Clear all ten and there is a small punchline. Go around again and the chimneys move further away. ■ Your records stay on your device Best distance, win streak and clears are stored only on your device. No account, no sign-in.
