About Brutal.io
Your vehicle drags a heavy ball behind it on a chain. As you move, the ball swings out and mows down any rival it touches.
You grow your ball by collecting crates scattered around the map. A bigger ball deals more damage, but it also swings wider, making it harder to control, so balance matters.
Why do kids love this game?
The swinging ball genuinely feels physical, and every collision produces a visible result.
Is this game safe for kids?
Yes. Elimination just means starting over; there's no blood or disturbing content.

๐ก Tips & Tricks
- Drive in circles: going straight leaves your ball trailing behind you, circling swings it out and builds speed
- Watch your rival's ball: charging head-on usually eliminates you both, approaching from the side is safer
- Collect crates: fighting alone keeps you small, collecting crates is the main way to grow your ball
- Turn wide when big: as your ball grows, its swing radius grows too, and sharp turns cost you control
- Use the edges: cornering a rival against the map's border works far better than chasing them in the open
