Can't Drive This (tuxdb.com)

New Mode: True Single Player!

Playing a multiplayer game alone? Welcome to the future! Eons and eons ago, we released Can't Drive This as a purely multiplayer experience. Naturally, y'all got inventive and started playing the game alone, wrinkling your brains and pushing your hand-eye-coordination (and the parallelism of your sight lines) to the limits. Well, wrinkle no more. In Build #5782603, we're super excited to introduce LONE RACER.
Lone Racer is our brand new full-fledged single player mode. Alternate between driving and building, all under the torment of a vicious new super-villain, the TIMER. (It's just a timer, really) Build the road as you usually would. When you're finished building, press the SWAP button*. You'll instantly take over the role of the driver, driving along the route that you just built. "Just driving along a prebuilt road? I CAN drive this", you might say. That's why your building is recorded, and then played back as you drive. So if it takes you forever to build a coherent road, you're gonna have a bad time driving.
Collect HOLOs for time bonuses, and live to drive another yard. Explode, and you'll respawn right where you collected the last HOLO. The score is counted as a combination of round duration, distance driven, and times exploded. To play Lone Racer, download the latest update, and head over to LOCAL from the main menu, with only one user connected. Let us know what you think!
As usual, there are a bunch of other tweaks and fixes that made it into the new update. Here are some of our favorites:

Made the entire UI juicier!
Adds mouse icons for the initial builder hint
Displays arrows pointing towards HOLOs for the builder in Game of Drones
Displays each mode's player count in mode selection
Removes mode select timer when playing alone
Lets you return to main menu from mode selection
Fixes a bug where controllers would rumble indefinitely on pause screen
Fixes an issue where tires would stay dirty after respawning
Adds controller rumble when exploding
Fixes an issue where lives would display wrong in Game of Drones
Balances Game of Drones difficulty
Fixes an issue where 3-4P Game of Drones would incorrectly fail a level when a driver explodes while others are still alive
Fixes an issue where player names were sometimes not displayed correctly
Fixes a bug where the game would "crash" when quitting it. \_()_/ Gamedev is fun.

*By default, the swap-button is Tab on keyboard, Triangle on a PS Controller, and Y on an Xbox Controller)

Co-Op Multiplayer Goodness

Play local face-to-face couch co-op, with your best frenemy! Don't have two controllers? No worries, one keyboard and one mouse serves two players! Don't have keyboard and mouse? Well, that's weird. (Warning: Can't Drive This may cause you to erratically scream at your friend.)
Or, if you don't have actual real-life friends, find some random internet-person to play! That's right, we've got cross-platform online multiplayer! Experience the joy of playing Can't Drive This without that annoying smelly friend next to you. You know who I'm talking about.

Customization!

Where's the fun in online multiplayer if there's no customization, you ask? You're very correct, which is why Can't Drive This features a gazillion* unlockable parts and a vehicle editor so you can show off your awesomeness to everybody on the interweb! But as we all know, only one player gets to drive a car at a time. The other player builds the track. That's why we also included a track editor! Create your custom track and have your friends race on a gold-plated yellow brick road, if you so wish!
