Triband :
Indie studio Triband (WHAT THE GOLF? + WHAT THE BAT?) is re-inventing the wheel by launching their game WHAT THE CAR?, a game about a car with legs, today! They are celebrating the game’s release with a brand-new trailer. The game, previously released on Apple Arcade, will be available on Steam and is priced at $9.99 USD.
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.
WHAT THE CAR? was initially released for Apple Arcade last year and won Best Mobile Game at this year's prestigious DICE Awards.

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?!
STEAM DECK VERIFIED
