Thrill Roller Coaster is a racing game that features a red stickman dashing down a wooden slat track with yellow and white rails in roller coaster train cars. The player's goal is to make the stickman dash as far as possible without losing control.
The game tracks the distance the train travels and the number of cars the stickman acquires. The player can't make the stickman and roller coaster move in certain directions. They can only speed up or slow down the journey. The tracks contain many challenges, including missing and twisted sections. The game automatically adds cars to the train and flips the cars when the train crosses gaps or drops off steep sections. The player can lose if the flips cause the train to dislodge from the tracks.
Thrill Roller Coaster rewards the player with coins that they can use to randomly unlock unique stickman and roller coaster skins. The options include the stickman wearing a wizard's hat and holding a wand while standing in a black cauldron, a king's gold crown and holding a magical star wand, and a DJ's blue cap and holding a microphone. The player receives additional coins by watching videos.
If the stickman's train derails, the player must start over. That said, they receive gold coins for their efforts. They can also revive instead of completely restarting by watching ad videos.
