Super Impossible Road is a racing game about cheating

Acclaimed mobile game gets spruced up PS4 sequel.

Super Impossible Road has a novel premise for a racing game: You want to stay off the track.

Apple called the original Impossible Road its runner-up for 2013's iPad Game of The Year after Badland. The other runner-up was XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Descending down a twisty ribbon of road, players are encourages to leap off the lane and fall to a lower spot further along in the track. Plummet for too long, however, and you'll respawn back where you last touched solid ground, losing valuable time in the process.

Super Impossible Road is the sequel to a mobile game called simply Impossible Road, but developer Wonderful Lasers is sprucing up its unique twist on the formula for this PS4 successor.

For starters, it looks a lot nicer with its slick 1080p/60fps presentation. More importantly, there are more multiplayer options with four-player split-screen and online play support.

Beyond that, Super Impossible Road features procedurally generated tracks, a single-player Career Mode and an endless Survival Mode.

Take a gander at an entire round of Super Impossible Road in action in its debut trailer below:
