The controls are simple: turn left, turn right, and drift. Don't let this simplicity fool you. The car's nuances during a drift will put your will and determination to the test. Sticking to it is worth the effort (getting that perfect drift feels so damn good). Reach a state of flow as you try to beat your best times on Akina, Usui, Myogi, and Iro Hazaka Pass. Built by an Indie with love. No ads, no data collection, no IAPs, just game.

But it’s by the dev behind A Dark Room and A Noble Circle so there may be more here than the screenshots can convey. Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 987 230 43 #3 Stronsay, Jun 1, 2022 I did get this in view of the dev’s pedigree and his challenge in the description...”you probably won’t make it past the first corner”…which was correct; so the title is somewhat misleading. It should be called ‘A Car That Doesn’t Turn’. Steering and drifting controls are hyper-sensitive and very difficult, which I guess is the whole point. However, if you like to do six impossible things before breakfast it’s a great place to start. I think what makes A Car That Turns (sic) compulsive is the speed of reloading. Every crash prompts an instant reload and continue from the last checkpoint - zero waiting time reduces the frustration of inevitable failure. Spolier - eventually made it round the first corner resulting in much merriment. Anotherkellydown likes this.

And I think it shows in all following releases. He‘s getting a little too much credit in my eyes. Anotherkellydown and Stronsay like this. Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 987 230 43 #5 Stronsay, Jun 1, 2022 Actually completed a whole lap! Never thought that would happen. Took 528.03 seconds and about 50 saves and restarts. Not so bad once I got the drift. Turn into corners early, especially hairpins. Feeling a great sense of achievement.

I've got a new track in the works which will hopefully release in a few weeks. sebgo likes this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
