Done With The Driving Range? There's More In What The Car?
After the success of their golf mash-up, Triband are back to tackle the humble motor vehicle in What The Car? for Steam later this year.
Following on from the brilliant What The Golf? (look out for the PS5 review in a bit), Triband has confirmed that they are tackling the driving genre with What The Car?
I want to say that this is an exclusive, but the game launched on Apple Arcade last year, winning a prestigious DICE Award a few days ago. In the game, you play a car with legs. Why so surprised? Have you played the predecessor?
With hundreds of unique levels, What The Car? is chock-full of jumps, jetpacks, special deliveries, and anything unrelated to an actual driving game. With legs. Here are some of those features:
- A WORLD TO EXPLORE – It’s not all racing. Explore the many islands to meet new friends, find hidden treasures or try your best at the quirky puzzles. (Hint: Look behind the waterfalls!)
- CREATE YOUR OWN LEVELS – Make your own wacky levels, share them with friends and family, or climb the leaderboards of levels made by other players. Hint: Adding cute bears and speed pads that go vroom works every time!
- OKAY, IT GETS REALLY SILLY – You’ll be flipping burgers, fishing, swimming, and singing CAR-aoke!
- Hint: Don’t try to talk to the laser cow
- DISCLAIMER – This game is for entertainment purposes only and will absolutely not improve your driving skills in any way. Actually, no one on the development team even owns a car.
- SPOILER: apparently this is a thing you can attach to the back of a car to make it look cool… Who knew?!
Watch the madcap trailer below:
If you don’t already have Apple Arcade and aren’t keen on switching to a Mac, you’ll have to wait until What The Car? comes to Steam later in the year. It’ll be worth it, mind.
