A scruffy old man with a grey beard and orange overalls is standing in a subway car, and he is about to sneeze. That is the whole premise, and it is a good one for a two-minute game. Subway Sneeze is a distance launcher from Spil Games: you choose the angle, choose the strength, and then watch the green blob sail along the tracks, bounce and skid. The part that turns it into a skill game is the kick boost. When the blob drops to ground level you can tap Space and a shoe punts it back into the air, and you get three of those per launch. The humour is gross-out in a cartoon way, the rules fit on one screen, and each attempt is short enough that trying again is never a chore.
| First click | Lock the direction of the sneeze |
|---|---|
| Second click | Lock the strength and launch |
| Space | Kick boost when the blob is at ground level (three per launch) |
How to play Subway Sneeze
- Press Play on the menu. The How to Play page shows the same three steps if you want a reminder.
- Watch the direction arrow sweep and click when it points where you want the sneeze to go.
- A power gauge fills next; click again at the moment it looks strongest.
- Follow the blob as it flies. When it comes down to the dirt, press Space to kick it back up.
- Use all three kicks, then check your distance and try to beat it on the next sneeze.
Tips
- A middle angle usually carries further than a very flat or very steep one.
- Kicks work only near the ground, so wait for the blob to land instead of pressing Space early.
- Saving the last kick for when the blob is slowing down stretches the run more than using all three at once.
Questions about Subway Sneeze
How many kick boosts do I get?
Three per sneeze. They are used with the Space bar when the blob is down at dirt level.
What decides the distance?
The angle and strength you lock in, plus how well you time the kicks once it lands.
Is there a high score table?
The menu has a High Scores button, and the goal of every round is simply to go further than before.
Is it only mouse controlled?
Aiming uses the mouse, but the boosts need the Space bar, so a keyboard is required.
