Friday Fun: Nanaca Crash via the How-To Geek by Asian Angel
Today’s game lets you conduct a sneak attack using a bicycle and it’s very easy to play – your goal is to crash into the boy with your bicycle and send him flying as far as possible distance-wise.
To start click in the angle/percentage setting area (highlighted in blue). Keep in mind that the arrow moves up and down very quickly, so you will need to be ready to click when it reaches the desired angle.
Once you have hit the boy with the bicycle he will be launched into the air. On the right side you can see the distance travelled and speed he is traveling. Just below that you will also notice small pictures representing upcoming characters our poor boy is going to encounter in his flight.
... and so it goes on!
