What The Car? - Episode 2 (Sports) Gameplay

#shacknews #whatthecar #gameplay

What the Car? opens with a silly-looking car that has a human-ish face, and seems to be pals with a bear. The car honks its horn, and then casts away its tires and sprouts human legs. The bear is unfazed, and just kind of hangs out while the car gets more legs, replaces the legs with a rocket booster or an umbrella, then starts firing the car out of a cannon into further gags that double as time attack puzzles. That’s pretty much the whole game, for the next handful of hours. You pick a level, shoot yourself out of a cannon into a pun and/or stage mechanic, then try to solve the level as fast as you can.

The fun thing about the game is how the joke informs the play experience for each level. If your car comes sailing into the air covered in wheels, then you can expect the challenge to be about trying to push the car into the goal while it’s doing more bouncing and tumbling than driving. If the car comes out looking more like a bench, you’ll be careening around corners and trying to position each tire on either side of a gaping hole in the road. It’s almost like a “wiggly game” version of Nintendo’s WarioWare series, where each moment is about quickly deciphering some kind of visual gag and how it informs the gameplay. It’s a lot of fun for the most part!
