Triband :
Indie studio Triband (WHAT THE GOLF? + WHAT THE BAT?) are setting their sights on a new frontier… the racetrack! ‘WHAT THE CAR?’ is an absurdist racing game you play as a car with legs. The game was revealed for Steam today and will be coming to PC later this year!
WHAT THE CAR? was originally released for Apple Arcade last year and won Best Mobile Game at this year's prestigious DICE Awards.

About The Game
You’re a car with legs! Race through hundreds of unique levels: jump, fly with jetpacks, climb tall buildings, deliver packages, and so pretty much everything you can’t do in a normal racing game.
It’s not all about the need for speed. Explore the many islands to meet new friends, find hidden treasures or solve quirky puzzles (Hint: Look behind the waterfalls!). You can also make your own wacky levels, share them with friends and family, or climb the leaderboards of unhinged levels made by other players.
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?!
