Power Pushers: Our Cars Have No Engines

A Racing Game Without Acceleration

By Steven Burton,  Jacob Whitlock 

In most racing games, a core mechanic is an accelerator, typically triggered by holding down a face button or trigger. Power Pushers is a racing game with no accelerator in sight. Cars will not budge without a literal push from the player, which must be aimed at with the left and right triggers to get the best angle for maximum distance. After you push the car, the player must chase after it to get another push closer to the finish. The player’s goal is to push their car to the finish line while avoiding hazards like walls or grass in the fastest time possible. There is also a 1v1 race mode for multiplayer action. You’re free to interrupt the other player’s car if you want to be THAT guy.
