Drive down the mountain in Deadly Descent
Deadly Descent is a downhill driving game by Andrey Melnikov. You start above a mountain course filled with crates, ramps, and narrow ledges. Pick a route through the obstacles and get the car to the finish in one piece. Impacts visibly deform the vehicle, and a hard hit or a fall can bring your run to an early end.

How to play
Look ahead before committing to a steep section. An open path at the top of a slope can lead into a tight corner or a row of obstacles further down.
- 1
Find a clear line
Start down the track at a pace you can control. Look beyond the next crate so you have room to steer after passing it.
- 2
Set up for ledges and ramps
Line up early on narrow sections and try to approach a ramp with the car pointed toward the landing. Make small corrections when there is little space beside the road.
- 3
Finish the run
Reach the finish with the car still intact. If the vehicle is destroyed, use the in-game Finish button to see the distance you covered before trying again.

What to watch on the way down
Vehicle damage
A crash can bend the car or end the descent altogether. Give crates and other obstacles a little extra space when the track allows it.
Camera views
On desktop, try another camera angle if the car blocks your view of an upcoming bend. Make the switch before you reach the narrowest stretch.
Driving tips
- Ease off before a tight turn so you have room to line up the exit.
- If you keep hitting the same obstacle, change your approach earlier on the next run.
- On a ledge, steer in small steps and leave room between the car and the edge.

Run goal
The goal is to reach the bottom of the course without wrecking your car. If you fall short, use the distance shown at the end of the run to gauge how far you got.
