About Action Henk
Action Henk drops you into a toy‑filled arena where speed, momentum and physics tricks dominate. Over 70 distinct tracks, each packed with jumps, slides and hidden shortcuts, challenge you to race faster than a rag‑tag crew of 90s action figures.
The title includes a built‑in level editor, local and online multiplayer, and a roster of unlockable characters. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, supports full controller input, Steam achievements, cloud saves and community sharing via the Steam Workshop.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tracks and Levels
More than 70 unique tracks span a range of environments, each designed with jumps, slides and shortcuts that test a player's mastery of momentum. The layout encourages repeated runs to refine routes and improve personal times.
Every track can be raced in single‑player mode or against friends' ghosts, and the game records best times for integration with Steam leaderboards, allowing global comparison of performance.
- Try different line‑through routes to discover shortcuts that shave seconds off your time.
- Watch top‑player ghosts to see timing for jumps and slides.

Level Editor
Henk's toybox contains a level editor where players can construct custom tracks limited only by imagination. Created levels can be saved locally and shared through the Steam Workshop for the community to race.
The editor lets you construct custom challenges, enabling creators to craft levels limited only by their own imagination.
- Start with a simple layout and gradually add complexity to test playability.
- Use community feedback from the Workshop to refine pacing and difficulty.

Multiplayer Modes
Action Henk supports local split‑screen, online real‑time races and a Twitch integration that lets up to 20 viewers' ghosts compete simultaneously. Players can race against friends' ghosts or join global leaderboards for live competition.
Cross‑platform multiplayer lets Windows, macOS and Linux users race together, while Remote Play Together enables a host to share the game with others on separate devices.
- Use online mode to gauge your skill against a broader player base.
- Try the Twitch ghost feature for a chaotic, high‑traffic challenge.

Characters and Skins
Players begin as Action Henk and can unlock five additional action‑figure characters by completing the single‑player campaign and bonus levels. Each unlock adds a distinct visual skin for the racer.
All characters use the same core mechanics, so competition remains focused on player skill rather than character differences.
- Unlock characters by completing campaign milestones to expand visual variety.
- Choose a skin with clear contrast for easier tracking during fast sections.

Audio and Presentation
The soundtrack, composed by demoscene musician Wiklund, delivers a pumping beat that matches the fast‑paced action. A professionally voiced cast of ragged 90s action figures adds personality to the game.
Power Up Audio provides sound design that emphasizes jumps, slides and collisions, reinforcing feedback for each momentum‑based maneuver.
- Adjust volume to balance music and sound effects for clearer race cues.
- Listen for audio cues that signal upcoming obstacles or optimal slide timing.
