Where to play

I wanted one card I could trust before writing the longer pages. The Steam record names Jim Bonacci as developer and Fancy Force as publisher, with tags Action, Casual, Indie, and Racing. Wikipedia supplies the 4 June 2010 date, which speedrun.com repeats. I left Metacritic blank on purpose: the store API’s metacritic field was null.

Fact card

The level count in Steam’s own description is “more than 5 million” user-created levels. The community wiki’s level browser page says 10 million plus. I lead with the official number and keep the wiki figure as a community estimate.

Where the longer answers live

The Happy Wheels Fandom wiki was created on 21 November 2010 and is the community reference, not an official manual. Use it for editor limits and character notes, and use Total Jerkface, Fancy Force, and Steam when the question is about what the developer actually ships.
