It is about pumping the fuel pedal and wrenching the steering wheel simply so, such that you just lurch ahead and over the obstacles, slightly than tumbling backwards. It is MudRunner with out the mud, with a knockabout simplicity presumably on account of its apparently one-man improvement staff.

I actually do not know the way I’ve by no means heard of it earlier than, nevertheless it appears to be like like its 1.0 launch hasn’t stopped there being a trickle of recent updates within the months since.
I appreciated Spintires again when it got here out some ten years in the past, then misplaced observe of it when it grew to become mired within the mud of controversy and was succeeded by MudRunners.
