Cars that behave like cars
Weight shifts when you brake. The back end steps out if you're greedy on the throttle. Too little momentum and you slide back down. Too much and you sail clean over the platform.
Early Access · Oct 26, 2026
The only way out is up.
Co-op climbing for up to 8 friends, built on real driving physics. No checkpoints. No mercy.

01 The Climb
Somewhere above you there is a finish line.
Between you and it: narrow planks, steep ramps, the insides of enormous pipes — and up to seven friends who are all trying to get there first.

02
Eight players. No safe distance.
Every car is a solid object. Park across a gap and become the bridge. Line up behind a friend and push them over a ledge no single car can clear.
03
Fall and you start again. All of it.
No checkpoints. No respawn halfway up. Drop off the top and you're back on the first hill you cleared an hour ago. Every meter matters.
04
A course designed to spit you off
Planks barely wider than your axles. Pipes that bounce you wall to wall. Tilting platforms, swinging obstacles and drops you can't see the bottom of.
05
Stuck upside down? Call for help.
A friend lines up and shunts you free — or you reset and climb the whole thing again. Four players abandoning their runs to rescue one is peak co-op.
06
Easy to start. Hard to finish.
Invite your Steam friends, pick a color, drop into the lobby. About a minute from launch to chaos. Very loud either way.
02 Same controls
Will you help — or ruin?
- Park across the gap. Become the bridge.
- Push a friend over the ledge no car can clear alone.
- Shunt the stuck one free. Again.
- Wait until they're one wheel from the summit.
- Tap. Their. Bumper.
- Watch an hour of climbing go straight down.
Helping and ruining use the same controls. Nobody in the lobby ever forgets which one you chose.
