Headup :
Düren, Germany – May 23, 2024 — Alt-indie publisher Headup today proudly announces the upcoming release of the digital toybox & car racing (and wrecking) game — Screw Drivers. In the game, players will enjoy a mix of technical design, balsa wood derby, and block-tacular building with access to hundreds of parts to construct and power their turbo-charged creations. They'll then race in single- and multiplayer modes, hoping their powertrains provide all the boost they need to stay ahead of the pack and keep from exploding into piles of pine pieces!
Screw Drivers will be released for free on Early Access soon, and we will later launch a Supporter Pack offering additional cosmetics.
A press kit with screens, key art, and other assets is available here
A demo for Screw Drivers is currently available on Steam
Technical creations mix with crazy physics and high-speed races in Screw Drivers! Craft custom vehicles — powered by combustion, electricity, or both, coupled with axles, gears, and suspensions to propel them. With an intuitive build editor at your fingertips, unleash your creativity! Engage in challenges against pompous royals, each featuring unique mechanical marvels, and triumph against them to unlock their unique vehicle parts. Race with friends in multiplayer, embarking on adventures across an island where thrilling races and competitions await, all fueled by turbo-powered creations and boundless imagination.
Features of Screw Drivers include:
Build, race, improve: Start by building your vehicle from the provided toolkit and parts collection, then race to win against others in single- and multiplayer modes to unlock new parts to improve your creations!
A technical toolkit: The game features a massive toolkit of parts and an easy-to-use design editor for building your car from the drivetrain up! Whether it's four wheels or 40, it's up to you, but you'll need to figure out how to power that mighty mega-drivetrain by selecting the right engine for the job.
Single-player story mode: The island's racing royalty (the Kings and Queens) think they have the ultimate racing machines. Prove them wrong by racing against them in story mode, unlocking their custom parts for your designs.
Multiplayer mode: Jump online and race your favorite creations against other drivers!
Explosive physics: Sometimes, it's more fun to crash than to win! Watch cars explode into their component pieces when taking a turn too tight or playing a little more "demolition derby"-style with other players. A wreck never means you're out of the race, as you can quickly re-assemble and get back on the track.
