Dodge swinging bars, crumbling tiles, and a spinning boom -- bank the most laps before time's up.
Doodle Wipeout is a 4-way race through a hand-drawn hazard gauntlet, closer in spirit to an obstacle-course show like Wipeout or Takeshi's Castle than to a straight speed race. Winning isn't about who's fastest on an open straightaway -- it's about who reads the course's moving hazards correctly, since swinging bars, crumbling tiles, and a spinning boom obstacle all have their own rhythm you need to learn.
That timing-first design is what separates it from RivalPit's other racers: Doodle Racer and Doodle Rally are about lap speed and driving lines on a static track, while Doodle Wipeout's track is actively trying to knock you out at several points along every lap. With up to four racers going for the same crumbling tiles and the same gap past the boom at once, positioning around rivals matters just as much as timing the hazards themselves.
Learn each hazard's rhythm before committing to a fast lap -- swinging bars and the spinning boom move on a consistent pattern, so watching one full cycle before your first attempt is almost always worth the lost time. When a hazard is crowded with rivals, it's often better to hang back a half-second and let the pile-up sort itself out than to force your way through at the same moment as two other racers going for the same gap.
Up to four -- it's a 4-way obstacle race, so you're not just fighting the hazards, you're also contending with rivals converging on the same crumbling tiles and the same gap past hazards like the spinning boom.
Both are tied together: getting knocked out by a hazard like the swinging bars, crumbling tiles, or the spinning boom costs you time and laps, and since the winner is whoever's banked the most laps when time runs out, every hazard hit directly hurts your placing.
Timing, more than raw speed -- the hazards move on their own patterns (bars swing, tiles crumble, the boom spins), so reading and reacting to that rhythm matters more than how fast your character can move in the open sections between hazards.
