This is one way to test Take The Wheels! working on a Steam Deck! On a plane at 39,000ft! Worked like a charm! (with low shadows for 60fps). Had 18hrs on this flight so figured I may as well. #screenshotsaturday #steamdeck #gaming #racinggames #indiegamedev #indiegames

The difference adding a far more visible path has to a track makes a huge difference!

Also, 1 week away from the Take The Wheels! reveal trailer!!!

Took part in a playtest event last weekend which was the first time in ~2 years that split-screen was playtested! Overall it went really well! People really liked being able to race against their friends. Only drawback was performance, but that'll be worked on over time! #UE5 #Racinggames #indiedev

Time to show off another powerup in Take The Wheels!

The shield powerup is handy, allowing you to remain unaffected by powerups from other players!

This powerup is only in the full game, however, there is still plenty to do in the demo! Play the demo today!

Alright, time to show off some of the powerups in Take The Wheels!

First up, we have the boost powerup! Works how you think it does. Increases top speed, acceleration. However, it also increases your grip! Give it a try in the demo on Steam! steampowered.com/app/2135650/ #racinggame #indiegames
