Five Unique CarsEach of the cars you unlock while playing has its own personality and driving style.

See if you can beat every level with each car! Fun PhysicsTumble down hills, go car bowling, drive over seesaws and log bridges, go through marble pits, and more! Collect and CustomizeDiscover fun hats for the cars scattered throughout the game. Use coins to unlock new paint jobs to personalize each car. 90s NostalgiaCome back in time with us to the 1990s, before tech took over our lives and we had to make our own entertainment. Runs well on Steam Deck and older systemsObstacle Overdrive was developed with Steam Deck in mind as it's primary platform since inception.

The side effect of that is the game runs extremely well on older systems. Internal testing was based around keeping the average framerate at or above 60fps on most tracks on Steam Deck. Obstacle Overdrive does not officially support Linux, but we have had success with proton on multiple distros.
