Can't Drive This Description
Can't Drive This an unusual racing game, designed for local or online cooperation. What's important is that during the game each player has a different task: one drives the vehicle and the other constantly builds a track in front of it. Independent studio Pixel Maniacs is responsible for creating this production.
Mechanics
The gameplay in Can't Drive This can be divided into two parts. The first one is a traditional arcade racing mode. The player observes their vehicle from TPP and tries to cover the route that appears in front of them as quickly as possible. It is worth noting that if we drive too slowly, the car explodes. Different types of vehicles are available, e.g. monster trucks, buggies or... buses.
The second part of the game is a simplified editor, thanks to which we create the track covered by the first player. In this case, we usually look at the map from the top-down perspective. The constructor has at a wide range of elements and obstacles at their disposal, thanks to which each track can be a unique experience. However, he must hurry, because if the driver runs out of track under the wheels, the race will end in failure.
Game modes
Can't Drive This offers only cooperative multiplayer. We can play locally or via the Internet. In the latter case, the game features cross-platform functions.
Technical aspects
Can't Drive This features interesting three-dimensional visuals. The game world is very colorful and clearly built of segments (which is directly related to an unusual idea for the game), resembling a construction made of Lego blocks. The whole thing makes a good impression.
