CAR ON STEAM

[h2] ITS REAL!
ITS OUT!
ITS TIME TO WRECK HAVOC AS A SILLY CAR![/h2]

This is what the excited people are saying about the car game already:

A racing game with a β€˜complete disregard for actual vehicles’ - The Guardian

WHAT THE CAR? is quite possibly one of my favorite games I have played this year. Every single level was a blast to play, and with the smaller minigame breaks and the fantastic aesthetic, I can't get enough of it. - SteamDeckHQ

These moments of pure silliness are brilliantly woven into the gameplay, keeping things fresh and constantly surprising you. - Savingcontent

24 HOURS TO GO! // MORE ON EPISODES & FAQ

Hello my little car-lings!

IN 24 HOURS YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BUY THE SILLY CAR GAME


[h3]Q: When exactly does it come out? I need to set my sundial.[/h3]
A: September 9th at 3PM CEST

[h3]Q: How long is WHAT THE CAR?[/h3]
A: This is all just estimations, since we don't fully know how long it'll take for people (feel free to register your playthrough on HowLongToBeat when its out!), but we're guessing:
~ 5-7 hours (by just completing main game);
~ 9-12 additional hours of gameplay in going for gold score, cards, secrets;
~ unknown amount of hours when playing or creating player-made levels πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

[h3]Q: Can I get the soundtrack somewhere? It's honkin'[/h3]
A: Sune, the mastermind behind the catchy tunes, is unfortunately a busy and sought after man. We'd love to create a whole album, but it'll take some time. Spring is our best estimate at the moment.

[h3]Q: Can I make video content/stream the game? [/h3]
A: Please, please do! And tag us when you do! There are no issues with the copyright of the music, so feel free to use and blast that too - just remember the credit somewhere.

[h3]AIGHT let's get into the other episodes:[/h3]

Episode 5: DRIVING


I know. Wheels? In my leg-car-game? We were really thinking out of the box with this one. Of course it's using wheels in the worst (best?) ways possible.



Episode 6: WATER


Beach episode!



Episode 7: SNEAKY SAS-CAR


Car meets a new friend! This is our first crossover with another world, called Sneaky Sasquatch. The theme of the episode is basically going camping, with some extra sasquatchy activities pebbled in.



Episode 8: SANDSTORM!


Silly car game gets super tuned. This episode features a new playmode where you get chased through a never ending sandstorm! Mad Max - Dune-ish hijinks ensues.





So! What adventures should CAR go on in the future? It is a live game after all, and we listen to ideas you come with!
What world should we go to next?

INTRODUCTION TO EPISODES

[h2]Hello aspiring cars! [/h2]

In just THREE DAYS you'll finally get your hands - and legs - on this silly willy car game!

We're taking a closer look at where the adventures will go to, but not tooOOoo close because, you know, it'll be all yours to explore oh so soon.

First of: in WHAT THE CAR? we call the different biomes for 'Episodes'. We could've called them biomes, I guess, but it's not so often you find our kind in other games. Plus, it feels more like parts of Car's little adventures, so we wanted to invoke the feeling of chapters of a story.

Secondly: In each episode there's around 20 levels.

Finally: This is just part ONE of the episode breakdown - stay tuned for more!

[h3]Let's get into it![/h3]

Episode 1: JUMPING


The classic one! Car gets legs and learns to use 'em.

Explore the green, lush, swampy environments.



Episode 2: SPORTS


What will Car do with its newfound legs? Might even get inspired by all the ball-shaped stuff.



Episode 3: WORKING


Car gets a job. Or three.



Episode 4: LONGER


Car meets the colorful population of a giraffe infested desert-land.




So! What episode are you looking forward to? Let us know! ⏬⏬⏬
