Uphill Paws: Hill Climb Driving with a Cat Behind the Wheel
Uphill Paws is a physics driving game where a ginger cat takes the wheel and a corgi mechanic rides in the back seat. Hold GAS to climb, ease off before you tip over backwards, tap BRAKE to reverse, and lean the car in the air to land on all four wheels. Every hill hides coins, every fuel can buys you a few more seconds, and every backflip pays out. When the tank runs dry or your car finally lands on its roof, the drive ends, but not the fun: the car bursts into pieces, time slows down and the cat is thrown into the air. Spin it with the pedals and stick the landing, because cats always land on their feet and three judges score your style, air time and touchdown out of ten. Spend your coins in the garage on a stronger engine, grippier tires, softer suspension and a bigger tank, then drive a little further every time. Earn stars on six stages, from a sunny meadow and desert dunes to slippery ice, spooky woods, a low-gravity cheese moon and a lava ridge, and unlock five vehicles including a bathtub kart and a rocket box. It plays on a phone held sideways with two big thumb pedals, or on a computer with the arrow keys. Free in your browser, no download.
How to play Uphill Paws
- Hold your phone sideways. Right thumb: GAS. Left thumb: BRAKE and reverse.
- On steep hills ease off the gas so the car does not flip over backwards.
- In the air, GAS tilts the car back and BRAKE tilts it forward. Land on both wheels.
- Pick up fuel cans before the tank runs dry and grab coins on the way.
- If you crash, keep spinning the cat with the pedals and land it upright for a 10 from the judges.
- Spend coins in the garage on upgrades and new cars, then drive further.

FAQ
- How do I control the car?
- On a phone, hold it sideways: the right half of the screen is GAS and the left half is BRAKE. On a computer use the right and left arrow keys or D and A. Esc pauses.
- Why does my car flip over backwards?
- Too much gas on a steep climb lifts the front. Let go of GAS for a moment or tap BRAKE to bring the nose down, and upgrade the suspension and tires for more grip.
- What happens when I crash?
- The car breaks apart and your cat flies out in slow motion. Spin it with the pedals and land it upright: three judges score spins, air time and the landing, and you get bonus coins.
- How do I unlock new stages and cars?
- Each stage has three stars for distance. Stars unlock new stages and cat drivers, and coins buy new vehicles and upgrades in the garage.
- Is Uphill Paws free?
- Yes. It is free to play in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download.
